Verse 1

I remember believing in distance

Like somewhere out there was the place

Where the noise in my chest would quiet

And the world would finally explain my face

Every road looked like a promise

Every city like a door

I kept thinking meaning waited

Just a little farther than before

Someone said the climb would change me

Said the answers rise with the sun

So I spent my days in motion

Certain peace was something won

Chorus

Everything leads to an empty arrival

Every finish line opens the same

You carry your hope like a survival

But the silence still knows your name

I lived my blessings, counted them slowly

Still felt the weight of tomorrow

Running through light chasing revival

But everything leads to an empty arrival

Verse

There was a morning I should’ve felt different

Coffee cooling beside the sink

My phone was lighting up with congratulations

But I couldn’t tell you what to think

The house was quiet in a strange way

Like it knew what I couldn’t say

That the moment I had been waiting for

Had already slipped away

All the things I thought would fill me

Just rearranged the empty space

And the man inside the mirror

Was the same unfinished face

Chorus

Everything leads to an empty arrival

Every door opens into air

You swear the light is your survival

But it’s never waiting there

I lived my blessings, carried their gravity

Through every borrowed tomorrow

Still hearing the echo inside me

Everything leads to an empty arrival

Bridge

Maybe the truth was never a summit

Maybe the road was never a test

Maybe the meaning we keep chasing

Was breathing quietly in our chest

Maybe heaven was never a distance

Maybe peace was never a prize

Maybe the thing we were always searching

Was the life passing through our eyes

Verse 3

Tonight the room is full of machines

Blinking slowly beside the bed

Someone whispers that I should rest now

Like sleep can soften what’s ahead

I thought the end would feel like landing

Like a door opening wide

Like the sky would finally answer

All the questions I carried inside

But the air is just air in my breathing

And the dark is only the night

And the quiet feels strangely familiar

Like the start of every life

Final Chorus

Everything leads to an empty arrival

Even the road that carries you home

I thought the last door would open to heaven

But the silence is all I’m shown

I lived my blessings

I carried my sorrow

I borrowed each breath I could borrow

And here at the edge of forever

It feels just like every tomorrow

Everything leads to an empty arrival
