[Verse 1]

First day, new shoes

Heartbeat singing nervous tunes

Practiced every word to say

Half a dozen times today

Trying not to think of Hades

Trying not to lose my cool

Trying to look calm and capable

Like I know exactly what I’m doing

[Pre-Chorus]

Take a breath

You’ll be fine

Don’t say something weird this time

[Chorus]

I’m sure there’s a reason

Things keep going sideways today

I’m sure there’s a reason

Nothing’s working quite the way

That I imagined

That I planned

Maybe I just misunderstand

Maybe everybody got a map

And somehow I missed it again

[Verse 2]

Then I met a woman in the lobby

Beautiful and dressed to kill

Sharp-eyed smile and perfect posture

Standing perfectly still

She asked me what I needed there

I told her who I came to see

Then something shifted in her expression

Though maybe that was only me

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I said something awkward

Maybe I came on too strong

Maybe I missed something obvious

And that’s why this feels all wrong

[Chorus]

I’m sure there’s a reason

Things keep going sideways today

I’m sure there’s a reason

Nothing’s working quite the way

That I imagined

That I planned

Maybe I just misunderstand

Maybe everybody got a map

And somehow I missed it again

[Verse 3]

Empty halls and locked-up doors

Nobody waiting anymore

Calling out into the dark

Listening for some kind of spark

“Hades?”

Nothing answered back

Only shadows on the track

And for the first time all day long

I wondered if I’d gotten this wrong

[Bridge]

Maybe there isn’t a reason

Maybe something isn’t right

Maybe I should turn around now

Maybe I should leave tonight

Then the walls began to rattle

Then the warning sirens screamed

And suddenly the dark was full

Of things I’d only seen in dreams

[Final Chorus]

I thought there was a reason

I thought this all would make some sense

I thought I was just nervous

I thought it was coincidence

Now the lights are flashing red

And something’s moving through the dark

And I don’t know where Hades is

But I can feel my heartbeat start

[Outro]

I’m sure there’s a—

…

No.

Something’s wrong.
