THE EXIT IS A MIRROR LOKIWIZZ [VERSE 1] Another Brick in the Wall, I was raised to obey, Comfortably Numb, letting life drain away. I heard the machine say, “There's a place you belong,” So I Break on Through—but the room's still wrong. Rusty Cage rattling every time that I move, Outshined by the people who tell me the truth. I kicked down the door, thought I'd finally been freed, Same walls, new paint, same script to read. [VERSE 2] Welcome to the Jungle, where the desperate get sold, Paradise City got a gate made of gold. Feel Good Inc. keeps the whole crowd in line, Selling back our rebellion one shirt at a time. I called it revolution, wore the look, played the part, Put a price on my freedom, put a logo on my heart. I swore I'd never follow, wouldn't march with the pack— Then I looked at the crowd and saw me looking back. [CHORUS] Every exit leads me back, New disguise, same old trap. Kick the door and crack the glass— There's my face behind the mask. Every road runs out the same, Different sign, familiar game. I keep running from the past— Every exit leads me back. [VERSE 3] Master of Puppets, but the hands look like mine, Pulling my own strings, calling bondage a sign. Man in the Box, still defending my cell, Blaming every devil but the one I know well. Down in a Hole, pointing fingers at fate, The Unforgiven, still guarding the gate. I searched for the master who was pulling the thread— Found a fist full of rules that I wrote in my head. [BRIDGE — HALF-TIME, HEAVY] Are You Experienced? Or just good at the act? Castles Made of Sand turn to dust when you grasp. Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart, Building my escape just to tear it apart. I wanted a villain, a face I could blame, A hand in the shadows, somebody to name. But the mirror stayed silent, the answer came clear— The lock wasn't holding me. I kept it here. [FINAL CHORUS — FULL BAND] Every exit leads me back, New disguise, same old trap. Kick the door and crack the glass— There's my face behind the mask. Every road runs out the same, Different sign, familiar game. I keep running from the past— Every exit leads me back. [OUTRO — STRIPPED, DRY VOCAL] The door was open. I just liked the chase. for the master who was pulling the thread— Found a fist full of rules that I wrote in my head.
