[Intro]
(Maybe, maybe)
(Maybe, maybe)
[Verse 1]
Feel the weight, fill the space in the void of my own time
I'm surrounded in pain passed down through my bloodline
And I have tried to escape from the maze but it’s no use
These chains never break, never budge, never come loose
Story's over
Story's over
Standing still and it feels like I’m lost in a coal mine
Inside, realize I'm at war in my own mind
It's a place fear creates, I'll be here for a long time
And you don't know where I've been, you weren't there on the front lines
Story's over
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s not over
Changing is found in motion
Maybe there’s balance when you're moving
Could stopping bring you closer?
Maybe, tilts you over
Leaning into the same old story
[Post-Chorus]
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
[Verse 2]
Maybe fear can’t define all the walls 'til you enter
And even blood couldn't bind who you are at the center
Could it be that you're more than the scars on the surface?
As the heat is beneath all the ash of the embers
Crossing over
Crossing over
[Bridge]
The way it’s told, there's no more room to grow
The way it's told, there's no return home
[Chorus]
Maybe it's not over
Changing is found in motion
Maybe there's balance when you're moving
Could stopping bring you closer?
Maybe, tilts you over
Leaning into the same old story
[Post-Chorus]
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe)
