[Verse 1] I map every danger In the back of my head Count all the bad endings Before they are said I carry the weather In a room with no rain Turn a small hesitation Into a locked-in chain [Pre-Chorus] But the walls I keep measuring Are only drawn in chalk And the voice that says stop me Is scared of where I’ll walk [Chorus] All of this fear is a doorway All of this weight can come loose I’ve been standing in my own way Blocking the morning from view I don’t have to solve every thunder I don’t have to bury the blue There’s a bright little break in the pressure And I’m walking straight through [Verse 2] I replay old failures Like coins in my hand Polish every sharp edge Till I can’t understand The sadness knows my address The frustration knows my name But neither one gets to steer me Just because they came [Pre-Chorus] I feel the floor start shifting Under the rules I made A thought can be a warning Without becoming a cage [Chorus] All of this fear is a doorway All of this weight can come loose I’ve been standing in my own way Blocking the morning from view I don’t have to solve every thunder I don’t have to bury the blue There’s a bright little break in the pressure And I’m walking straight through [Bridge] Let the fear sit beside me Let the sadness speak low Let the anger burn smaller Than the distance I’ll go I can feel every fracture And still choose what comes next The path was never missing I was reading the wreck [Final Chorus] All of this fear is a doorway All of this weight can come loose I’ve been standing in my own way Blocking the morning from view Now the room fills with daylight Now the air tastes new There’s a bright little break in the pressure And I’m walking straight through [Outro] Straight through I’m walking straight through The path is here The sun gets through
