00:21I came from the Midwest
00:23With nothing but dreams and dust
00:25Pockets full of minimum wage
00:28Chasing lights through the California rust
00:30Moved into those buzzing apartments
00:33Where every kid was filming their life
00:35Then the golden letter arrived
00:37Black and red, cut like a knife
00:40Your talents have been noted
00:43Your name has been endorsed
00:45The dreams you've been chasing
00:48All one single night away
00:50Laurel Canyon address, don't be late
00:53Don't plan to leave before midnight
00:55I felt my whole future ignite
01:01One friend pulled me aside
01:03Eyes full of real fear
01:06Begged me not to go
01:07Said the man wasn't who he appeared
01:10But I was young, invincible
01:12Hungry for the glow
01:15I smiled and lied
01:17Just so I could still go
01:20I wish I never walked through
01:23Seven heavens gate
01:25Where the beautiful ones smile
01:28While the loss so celebrate
01:30Mass fall in the candlelight
01:33Handshakes seal your fate
01:35Fiend rooms of sin are waiting
01:38Will you bend or break?
01:41Eyes wide shut in the hills
01:42The old gods never sleep
01:45They'll trade your soul for spotlight
01:47And the prize cuts deep
01:49Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep
01:51I wish I never went
01:53God, I wish I never went
01:55Now the darkness knows my name
01:58And you won't let me repent
02:02Crystal chandeliers dripping blood red light
02:05Elegant monsters in circles
02:06Drawing symbols in the night
02:10One room
02:11One room
02:12One room
02:12Lust, one room
02:13Greed, wrath
02:13Burning hot and bright
02:14Pride on the outer
02:15Sloth in the silence
02:16Every sin in plain sight
02:21They pulled me close
02:22Whispered soft ass
02:23Made to kneel and renounce
02:25Said the world could be mine
02:26If I'd only give up
02:28The light I'd know
02:31I saw friends change forever
02:33After that night
02:34Then the glow
02:35But something in me screamed
02:37No
02:37And I barely made it home
02:41I felt them watching, felt them pulling at my soul
02:46The sixth room tried to break me, tried to swallow me whole
02:51They don't want you telling
02:53They want the fire in your chest
02:56To twist it, stuff it out
02:58And turn you into one of the possessed
03:02I wish I never walked through seventh heaven's gate
03:06Now I'm hiding in the daylight
03:09The shadows still feel my way
03:11The party never ended
03:14It just moved inside my mind
03:17Fame was the sweetest poison
03:19And I left part of me behind
03:21I can check out anytime
03:23But I can never truly leave
03:27The markers on my spirit
03:29And the hills still caught on me
03:31I wish I never went
03:36I wish I never went
03:40Seventh heaven's gate
03:42Still open in my dreams
03:50Peace and hold on I luckily movie
03:57Be爹
03:58And sign your house
04:10Just the house
04:10I never went
04:10I wish I never went
