[Verse 1] I wake up in a hallway, But the doors all melt away. Signs are pointing backward, But the roads all lead astray. I chase a light that flickers, Just to find a mirror maze. My own reflection whispers, "You're the one who locked this cage." [Pre-Chorus] (low, rising tension) I knock, I scream, I burn, I crawl— But nothing moves beyond this wall. [Chorus] (explosive & emotional) Every path I take just folds in on itself, A thousand ways to nowhere, trapped inside my shell. I just wanna go back, but the sky won't show— I'm stuck in this state where nowhere leads home. [Verse 2] The clocks are all rewinding, But I never gain a day. Voices sound familiar, But they’re all just sound and clay. Reality is static, And the channels never change. Every face I know is Saying things they’d never say. [Pre-Chorus] I run, I fall, I beg, I break— But still I’m wide awake. [Chorus] Every path I take just folds in on itself, A thousand ways to nowhere, trapped inside my shell. I just wanna go back, but the sky won't show— I'm stuck in this state where nowhere leads home. [Bridge] (screamed + layered clean harmonies) Is this real, or am I dreaming wide awake? My thoughts are turning violent in this place. Can’t trust the mirror, can’t trust the air, When every step leads me nowhere. [Breakdown] (instrumental crush, discordant riffs) (Screamed) Am I gone? Was I ever whole? Will I ever feel again? Will I ever be home? [Final Chorus] (clean lead, screamed backing for max impact) Every path I take just folds in on itself, A thousand ways to nowhere, screaming in my cell. I just wanna go back, but my mind won’t go— I’m lost in a state where nowhere leads home. [Outro] (quiet, eerie fade) (Whispered) “Nowhere leads home... nowhere leads home...”
