[Intro] Wait— Not yet The door is still unlocked I can still get out [Verse 1] The pattern locks, I almost have it The logic starts to click The final word is on my tongue The ghost is turning thick Then something tilts—the lens goes blurry A detour in the dark A quiet hatch I didn’t build Offers me a spark [Pre-Chorus] It feels like grace It feels like air Like I was never meant to be there [Chorus] Every time I reach the edge, the ground begins to shift Leaving me in no-man's-land, drifting in the rift Right before the meaning sticks, it vanishes like smoke Leaving me with empty lungs and words I never spoke I don’t crash, I don’t burn, I don’t fall apart I just never get the chance to let the ending start Every time I’m about to arrive— It hands me a way out, every single time [Verse 2] There’s a portal in the pressure A glitch inside the light It knows the weight of what I’m facing And pulls me from the fight. Every "nearly" turns to "never" The thread begins to fray It saves me from the wreckage But it steals the truth away [Chorus] Every time I reach the edge, the ground begins to shift Leaving me in no-man's-land, drifting in the rift Right before the meaning sticks, it vanishes like smoke Leaving me with empty lungs and words I never spoke I don’t crash, I don’t burn, I don’t fall apart I just never get the chance to let the ending start Every time I’m about to arrive— It hands me a way out, every single time [Bridge] Step away Take the turn You don’t have to stay and burn Drop the weight Cut the line You can leave it all behind But it’s not an escape And it’s not relief It’s just a slow-motion Kind of thief [Outro] If I stayed—just once— And let the hammer fall… Would it break me? Or would it prove… I never needed the exit at all? I never fail I just never arrive
