[Title: Every Road Was Wrong] [Intro: cold synth pulse, low cello, distant guitar, slow heartbeat drums] [Verse 1: clean male baritone, intimate and lost] I took the road of light but the light was lying it promised me a way while something inside was dying I followed every sign with my hands against the wall but the brighter that it burned the deeper I would fall [Pre-Chorus: drums rising, dark synth bass entering] How did I get here how did I come this far I do not know this place I do not know these stars [Chorus: driving darkwave gothic rock chorus] Every road was wrong every path led on to another empty doorway where the hope was gone Every road was wrong and I walked too long now the exit may be behind me and the night is coming on [Verse 2: darker, more intense] I took the road of shadow but the dark was not my friend it swallowed every footstep and it never seemed to end I whispered to the silence is there anybody there but the walls began to answer with my own forgotten prayers [Pre-Chorus: stronger, guitars rising] Where is the way out did I pass it in the rain was it standing right beside me while I carried all this pain [Chorus: full band, energetic but dark] Every road was wrong every path led on to another empty doorway where the hope was gone Every road was wrong and I walked too long now the exit may be behind me and the night is coming on [Instrumental Break: darkwave synth bass, mournful cello, distorted guitar swells] [Bridge: quiet, wounded, tense] Maybe I missed the doorway maybe I turned away maybe I called it nothing when it begged me to stay Maybe the light was a warning maybe the dark was a sign maybe the only way out was the one I left behind [Final Chorus: massive emotional gothic rock climax] Every road was wrong every path led on to another empty doorway where the hope was gone Every road was wrong and I walked too long now the exit may be behind me and the night is coming on [Outro: fading synth pulse, cello, distant heartbeat] How did I get here where did I go wrong The exit may be behind me and now the night is gone Now it is dark now it is dark now it is dark
