[Verse 1]
Woke up with a name I don’t trust
Tattooed on a bracelet of rust
Faces I should know feel strange
All of us branded
Stuck in this cage
Walls move like they’re choosing sides
Stone teeth closing on our lives
You watch my back
I’ll cover yours
Lies at the center
Truth at the doors
[Pre-Chorus]
If I remember
Do I break?
If I forget
What’s left to save?
Who am I in this design?
Yours or mine?
[Chorus]
I’d rather run the maze than live your lie
Rather bleed with them than stand behind
You can build your walls so high
We’ll climb
We’ll climb
I’d rather lose myself than lose my soul
Break every rule they write in stone
You can keep control
We’ll keep control of each other
I’d rather run the maze than live your lie
[Verse 2]
Maps drawn on the back of my hand
Patterns in the dirt
In the sand
You say “turn left
” I say “go through”
Every dead end still leads me to you
Rations in a line
Heads down
But we trade plans when they’re not around
Every quiet nod
Every stare
Tiny rebellions in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
If I betray you
Do we win?
If I stay loyal
Do we spin?
How many lives on this design?
Yours or mine?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We are more than numbers on a screen
More than subjects in a broken dream
If I was made to watch you fall
I choose the fire
I choose us all
Hands up
Touch the stone
Say the word
We go home
Even if home’s not what we knew
We walk out free
I walk with you
[Chorus]
