Lyrics

[VERSE 1 — vocal: intimate, close, breath-led; instrumental: sparse piano, soft sub-bass, distant ambient textures]

there’s a place built for you (for you…)

where the fire doesn’t fade (doesn’t fade…)

I used to live there quietly

like I was meant to stay (stay…)

I used to call it home (home…)

used to stay inside its grace

now I trace along its edges (edges…)

for a door to somewhere else (door… door…)

a door that opens into nowhere (nowhere…)

a door that leads into wrong (wrong…)

I step through and lose all meaning

but I still keep moving on (on…)

[PRE-CHORUS — vocal: tighter, more forward, controlled tension; instrumental: filtered percussion build, narrowing space, subtle riser]

I thought it would stay the same (same…)

thought it would fade by now (fade…)

but every door I try to leave (leave… leave…)

brings me back around (back… around…)

[CHORUS — vocal: centered lead, soft doubles, whisper ghost layer; instrumental: full low-end, restrained beat, wide reverb space]

the fire doesn’t fade

it stays where I left it (left it…)

I leave it, I come back (come back… come back…)

it stays where I left it

the fire doesn’t fade (fire…)

I can’t shut it out (can’t…)

every door I go through (door… door…)

brings me back around (around… around…)

the fire doesn’t fade

it never lets me leave (leave…)

I walk and I walk

but it follows me (me…)

[VERSE 2 — vocal: fragile, lower energy, more breath; instrumental: reduced percussion, warped pads, reversed ambient tails]

I stop calling it my home (home…)

but it doesn’t let me go (go…)

I think I’ve reached the outside (outside…)

but it folds back in slow

I try to follow the silence

where the edges used to be (edges…)

but every step that I take

feels like it’s taking me (me…)

I stop at every doorway

like I’ve been here before (before…)

I know it leads to somewhere

but never out the door (door…)

[BRIDGE — vocal: near-whisper, minimal pitch, emotionally compressed; instrumental: near-drop, wide ambient drone, almost no percussion]

I thought I could step outside it

like it was something I could leave

but every door I’ve ever opened (door… door…)

just folds back into me (into me… into me…)

the fire never asks for anything

but it never lets me go (never…)

I try to lose what keeps it burning

but it stays where I go (go…)

[CHORUS (FINAL) — vocal: layered, heavier reverb, whisper layer more dominant; instrumental: full but restrained, immersive low-end]

the fire doesn’t fade

it stays where I left it (left it…)

I leave it, I come back (come back…)

it stays where I left it

the fire doesn’t fade (fire…)

I don’t know how to stop it

every door I take (door…)

brings me back around (around… around…)

the fire doesn’t fade

I can’t let it go (go…)

I keep moving forward

but it follows me home (home…)

[OUTRO — vocal: dissolving, trailing reverb; instrumental: gradual deconstruction into low ambient tone]

I stop looking for the door (door…)

it never was the way out (out…)

the fire doesn’t fade at all

it just becomes the sound...
