[Intro – music box + soft chimes] 🎤 “Tell me… If you had the answer… Would you even know it?” (giggle) [Verse 1] 🎤 If left is right and right is wrong Then where have you been all along? If up is down and down is through Then which way’s really leading you? If every door is just the same Why bother learning any name? If I say “stay,” but mean “go”— Do you leave… or never know? [Pre-Chorus] 🎤 You’re getting close… or maybe not You found the line… or lost the plot… [Chorus – “fake answer”] 🎤 Follow the path where the roses grow That’s where the truth is, don’t you know? Take every step nice and slow— That’s the way to go Trust what you see, don’t question why Everything’s clear if you just try Look straight ahead, don’t look below— That’s the way to go [Verse 2 – breaks the chorus] 🎤 But roses wilt and paths can bend So where does “truth” begin or end? If what you see is what you get Why haven’t you found it yet? If forward leads you back again Then was it forward way back when? If every answer feels so right— Why does it fade by morning light? [Pre-Chorus 2] 🎤 You’re so sure… I almost believe it too… But something’s missing… isn’t it? [Chorus – same “fake answer,” now suspicious] 🎤 Follow the path where the roses grow That’s where the truth is, don’t you know? Take every step nice and slow— That’s the way to go Trust what you see, don’t question why Everything’s clear if you just try Look straight ahead, don’t look below— That’s the way to go [Bridge – glitchy, playful unraveling] 🎤 “What if the path… isn’t real?” “What if the truth… doesn’t stay still?” (giggle, layered voices) “Turn around…” “No, don’t…” “Yes, do…” “Too late…” [Final Verse – REAL answer, calm + eerie] 🎤 There is no path, no single way No truth that’s fixed or here to stay Every step you think you choose Is one you’re always bound to lose The answer isn’t left or right Not wrong or dark, not even light You’ve been searching high and low— (pause) There’s no way out… there’s just the show [Final Chorus – now recontextualized] 🎤 Follow the path where the roses grow— (It never mattered where you go) Take every step nice and slow— (You’re already in the flow) Trust what you see, don’t question why— (It’s all a perfectly painted lie) Look straight ahead, don’t look below— You were never meant to know [Outro – soft, Cheshire grin energy] 🎤 “…did you find the answer?” (pause) “…or did it find you?”
