The Book This Album Stole Its Name From

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your feet find the path through a garden of riddles,
each hedge a neuron firing in the dark—
cortical maps redrawn with every turn,
your eyes reading the spiral like a tongue reads skin.
The labyrinth breathes; so do you.
Mirror neurons flickering: you become the maze.

[Chorus]
Your hands know what your mind is still learning,
the way a lover reads the landscape of a body.
Every corridor a synapse, every gate a choice—
and you move through it all like you've always lived there,
like the walls were built inside you first,
and the world outside caught up.

[Verse 2]
The hippocampus consolidates each memory into stone,
long-term potentiation etching the garden deeper with each pass.
Your proprioception blooms—you feel the architecture
before your fingers touch it, before light reaches your retina.
Predictive coding: your brain already knows
where the next threshold waits.
The labyrinth is a language, and you are fluent.

[Chorus]
Your hands know what your mind is still learning,
the way a lover reads the landscape of a body.
Every corridor a synapse, every gate a choice—
and you move through it all like you've always lived there,
like the walls were built inside you first,
and the world outside caught up.

[Bridge]
Theta waves rolling through the temporal lobe,
myelination humming in the white matter—
your nervous system a map of devotion,
each axonal branch reaching toward what moves you.
You don't just solve the riddle.
You become the answer walking.

[Chorus]
Your hands know what your mind is still learning,
the way a lover reads the landscape of a body.
Every corridor a synapse, every gate a choice—
and you move through it all like you've always lived there,
like the walls were built inside you first,
and the world outside caught up.

[Outro]
The garden folds back on itself,
and you emerge from every exit
still walking forward,
still hungry for the next turning.
