[Verse 1] Ghost of the architect, drawing up plans Unbuilt cities in the palm of my hands The sailor who left on the morning tide The traveler walking the other side So many lives left on the shelf Dust on the pages of another self [Chorus] Oh, the parallel lines that I’ll never walk The silent rooms where we’ll never talk I was mourning the ghosts of who I could be Until I looked down and finally saw me Right here, right now, fully alive The only version that survived [Verse 2] No turning back to the fork in the road Dropping the weight of the phantom load The quiet morning, the coffee, the light The real sun breaking through the night I’m not a fragment, I’m not a mistake I am the choice that I got to make [Chorus] Oh, the parallel lines that I’ll never walk The silent rooms where we’ll never talk I was mourning the ghosts of who I could be Until I looked down and finally saw me Right here, right now, fully alive The only version that survived [Outro] Every unchosen path fades away I am here, and I’m staying today.
