"(there must be a reason)" I nailed the door from the inside Kept the key under my tongue If I let one crack stay open I might bleed out all the sun I keep the key in my fist And still I can't leave this room There must be a reason I keep this place so tight There must be a reason I turn away the light There must be a reason (there must be a reason) I've made myself a prison (I've made myself a prison) If the door is open now Why do I still stay down? I hide my hands in borrowed sleeves I fold my fear into a grin If you ever ask what happened I say I can't let anyone in But the bed is cold as gravel And the mirror won't let go It keeps on showing all my exits I refused to ever know I hear it in the hallway That little voice, "stay low" But the walls don't know my name They just echo, echo There must be a reason (there must be a reason) I've made myself a prison (I've made myself a prison) If the door is open now Why do I still stay down? Maybe I wore these bars So I could say I tried Maybe I held the lock Just to hide what broke inside There must be a reason (there must be a reason) I've made myself a prison (I've made myself a prison) If the door is open now I want to step out now If the door is open now Can I breathe on my own? •••••✧•••••✦•••••✾••••• 𝙻𝚢𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚜/𝚂𝚊𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎: 𝙳𝚒𝚖 𝙲𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚕𝚎𝚜 © 2026 •••••✾•••••✦•••••✧•••••
