I wake up in the same old room, But nothing feels the same. My body feels like borrowed skin, My mind forgets my name. I've got a thousand things to say, But they get lost before they start. There's a maze behind my eyes And a locked door around my heart. I take a step, I lose a day, I try to speak, the words decay. I look for who I used to be, But he's somewhere I can't see. And every hallway looks familiar, Every corner feels like home, Until I turn and realize I've been walking here alone. Pre-Chorus And I keep asking the same question That echoes through my head: Is there a way out of this labyrinth, Or is there no way out till I'm dead? Chorus I'm lost inside the labyrinth, And the walls are closing in. I can't tell where the road begins Or where the dead ends end. I've been searching for a doorway, I've been praying for a sign, But every path I take just leads To another part of mine. Is there a way out? Is there a way through? Am I fighting with the world, Or am I fighting with the truth? I keep walking, I keep falling, I keep wishing I could see— If there's no way out of this labyrinth, Will the labyrinth outlive me? Verse 2 — The Woman Who Stays And somewhere in this maze of mine, There's a woman holding on. She's seen the man I used to be, She's watched my strength be gone. She sees me when I'm struggling, When I can't explain the pain. She holds me through the thunder When I cannot find my way. And God, I hate the thought That I have made her life this hard. I want to be the shelter, Not another broken part. I want to laugh beside her, I want to give her better days, But sometimes all I have to offer Is a heart lost in the maze. And I wish that I could tell her What the silence never says: I'm still the man who loves you, Even when I'm lost for days. Chorus I'm lost inside the labyrinth, But I remember why I fight. There's a woman back at the center Who makes me want to see the light. I've been searching for a doorway, I've been begging for a sign, And when I think I've lost her, Her love brings me back in time. Is there a way out? Is there a way through? I've got more to live for Than the darkness tells me to. I keep walking, I keep falling, But there's one thing I still know— Even lost inside this labyrinth, I'm not ready yet to go. Verse 3 — The Mind That Won't Be Quiet I make a joke to hide the hurt, I make them laugh, then disappear. They think the funny man is fine Because he never shows the fear. But when the house is quiet And there's nobody to impress, I sit inside my own thoughts And try to make some sense. I'm a wordsmith without a forge, I've got fire but no flame. I know there's something deep inside That I cannot explain. Philosophy on bumper stickers, Easy answers on parade, While I'm looking for a language For the things that can't be named. And every thought becomes a hallway, Every question grows a wall. I keep looking for the meaning Of a life I cannot solve. Bridge — The Final Door They say there's no way out Until you're dead. I've heard those words so many times They echo in my head. But what if I have misunderstood The thing I'm trying to find? What if leaving isn't dying, But escaping what's confined? What if there's no perfect answer? What if some walls have to stay? What if freedom isn't finding Some miraculous escape? Maybe I don't need to conquer Every corridor I see. Maybe I can learn to live here Without letting it swallow me. Maybe I can take a breath. Maybe I can speak one truth. Maybe I can love my wife tonight Without needing to be who I was before the sickness, Before the fear, before the fall. Maybe finding my direction Doesn't mean escaping all. Final Chorus — Still Walking I'm lost inside the labyrinth, But I'm learning how to stand. I may never see the whole design, But I can still reach for a hand. I don't know where the road leads, I don't know what waits ahead, But I'm not going to call this life A hallway to the dead. I've got love that's still worth fighting for. I've got words I haven't said. I've got songs still growing in me, I've got roads I haven't tread. And if the walls keep closing in, I'll take one breath and try again. I don't need to see the exit Just to know that I am still here. Outro — The Question So I wake up in the same old room. The walls are standing still. I don't know if I can beat this maze. I don't know if I ever will. I hear my wife's voice down the hall. I hear the world outside. I put my feet upon the floor. I take another stride. And somewhere deep inside my head, The question waits like it always did: Is there a way out of the labyrinth? I don't know. But I'm still walking. And today, that's enough.
