Headed for the Door (Community Mix)

Powerful, fast paced, triumphant, wild, builds and resolves, high energy

[Intro]
[Staccato piano arpeggio]
[Fast rhythmic synth pulse]
[Building percussion]

[Verse 1]
You’re pacing the hallway with that familiar stare
Checking the mirror to see if I’m still there
Waiting for the moment to twist the evening’s light
To turn a simple silence into a desperate fight
But I’m not playing the part you wrote for me today
The script is burning up and I am walking away
I see the strings you’re pulling but they’re snapping in the air
You’re talking to a shadow that is no longer there

[Refrain]
[Choral harmony swell]
The fever’s breaking and the air is getting clear
I’m leaving every habit and every manufactured fear

[Chorus]
[Hook: Massive wall of sound]
We’ve been down this road a thousand jagged times before
But I’m taking a detour and I’m heading for the door (Headed for the door)
I see the tricks and the traps in the way you spin the truth
I’m reclaiming the rhythm and the fire of my youth (Headed for the door)
You’re falling to pieces while I’m finally feeling light
I’m dancing through the exit and I’m vanishing from sight
Yeah I’m taking a detour and I’m never looking back (Headed for the door) (Headed for the door)

[Verse 2]
Your tears are precisely timed like a practiced stage cue
But they don’t have the power that they used to do
You’re reaching for the guilt that always kept me in line
But that poison doesn't work on a spirit like mine
You’re distraught in the kitchen crying out to the walls
While I’m listening to the silence of the distance as it calls
It’s a beautiful morning to finally be the one
Who isn't carrying the weight of everything you’ve done

[Bridge]
[Rhythmic breakdown]
[Breathy vocal stabs]
The patterns are broken
The words have been spoken
The cycle is over
And I am the driver now
I’m taking the left turn
I’m watching the bridge burn
The euphoria is rising
And I am the driver now
[Hard synth stab]
[Drum roll build]

[Outro]
[Fast piano fade]
[Echoing vocal: "Never looking back"]
[Final rhythmic kick]
[End]
