[Verse 1] Every exit has a number Every number has a name I can choose the eastern hallway I can choose the western lane Maps unfold like open hands Each one points a different way I stand where all the roads begin And let the minutes drain [Pre-Chorus] No iron bars, no guard outside Just too much choice to step inside [Chorus] The prison built of open doors I can leave a thousand ways But every road becomes a question And the question makes me stay The prison built of open doors Wide enough to lose my name I keep choosing, I keep waiting I don't move, I don't escape [Verse 2] At the crossroads, signs are turning Every arrow says “decide” I take one step toward the morning Then the other paths reply [Pre-Chorus] No iron bars, no guard outside Just too much choice to step inside [Chorus] The prison built of open doors I can leave a thousand ways But every road becomes a question And the question makes me stay [Bridge] Pick one road Let the others close One true step Is a door that goes [Final Chorus] The prison built of open doors I can leave a thousand ways But a road is just a road now When I choose it and I stray The prison built of open doors I give one answer, let it stand I take the path beneath my feet And leave the rest unmanned [Outro] One step, one step The doorway opens when I go
