[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I stand where the road splits in two
Both ends fade into the same gray dawn
Each promise pulls me forward and through
Yet the path untaken is gone
[Chorus]
Unchosen roads, they whisper underneath
Every name I never called
Every hand I did not reach
The silence keeps the answers sealed
[Verse 2]
A younger self believed in certainties
A coffee cup, a steady line
Now the certainties have come apart at the seams
And I am learning to live between
[Chorus]
Unchosen roads, they whisper underneath
Every name I never called
Every hand I did not reach
The silence keeps the answers sealed
[Bridge]
We are all the sum of doors we closed
We are all the sum of doors we closed
[Verse 3]
But the wind still moves across the empty field
And the stars keep their quiet chart
Whatever road I lost, the night did not yield
It only taught me where I am
[Chorus]
Unchosen roads, they whisper underneath
Every name I never called
Every hand I did not reach
The silence keeps the answers sealed
[Outro]

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There is a city I never entered, lit by a lamp I never lit
A woman whose name I rehearsed a hundred times in train-window breath
Then handed to a porter who carried it away in his coat
There is a child I almost was, pacing the corridor of my spine
Whispering, don't open it, don't open it, don't open it
[Pre Chorus]
Every road I didn't take is still standing somewhere in the dark
Wearing my face, holding my hand, waiting for the version of me
Who would have stepped through
[Chorus]
These are the unchosen, the unchosen, the unchosen
Their footsteps braid through mine like a second pulse
They are the choir of my almost, the ghost of my yes
Singing beneath every song I will ever finish
[Verse 2]
A friend once gave me a map with a single road drawn in red
He said, this is the one, this is the one
I followed it for years until the paper wore through at the creases
And I realised the road had been drawn by someone who never walked it
Just guessed at the shape of longing from a window
[Chorus]
These are the unchosen, the unchosen, the unchosen
Their footsteps braid through mine like a second pulse
They are the choir of my almost, the ghost of my yes
Singing beneath every song I will ever finish
[Bridge]
I sat on a station bench at 3 a.m., reading the timetable backward
The destinations were the same, only the names had changed
Berlin or Bristol, marry or mourn, speak or be silent
The metal of the bench was cold against my palms and I thought
This is what it is to be alive, this is what it is
To sit between two tracks and love them both the same
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
My father chose the river. My mother chose the road.
I chose neither. I chose the third thing, the unnamed corridor
Where I walk with all my ghosts in tidy formation
And call them by their borrowed names
Until the borrowed names begin to feel more mine than mine
[Chorus]
These are the unchosen, the unchosen, the unchosen
Their footsteps braid through mine like a second pulse
They are the choir of my almost, the ghost of my yes
Singing beneath every song I will ever finish
[Outro]
