00:03She danced for the light
00:11She only wanted the stage
00:43A broken ankle on the boards that night
00:45Dreams bleeding out under the lights
00:48They found her crumpled at the door
00:50Of the building that never lets you leave once more
00:53Kind faces, silver hair, worn hands that take
00:56Come in child rest, we'll make the pain break
00:58Free rent in the sky, name on the marquee
01:01All she ever wanted handed so easily
01:05They said the world was waiting just for her
01:10They said the price was nothing she couldn't endure
01:17See what's right in front of you
01:22The golden door was always a noose
01:27They dangle the dream until you can't breathe
01:32Then ask for the part of you that still believes
01:37Oh, the truth is a wound that never heals
01:43Once you finally see what's been staring at you
01:51All alone
01:56One drink in a room that felt like fate
01:59Morning came with a roll she couldn't wait
02:01Ankle healed overnight like a miracle soul
02:04A child of growing quiet in a body grown cold
02:07A neighbor who whispered run while you can
02:09Fell silent forever under their plan
02:12Hidden doors in the walls a book full of signs
02:14A basement that waited for the chosen bloodlines
02:17They promised the stage, the covers, the fame
02:21But the real production was using her
02:26See what's right in front of you
02:30The golden door was always a noose
02:35They dangle the dream until you can't breathe
02:40Then ask for the part of you that still believes
02:45Oh, the truth is a wound that never heals
02:51Once you finally see
02:55What's been staring at you all alone
03:03There is a financier who collected young hopes
03:07Like rare butterflies under glass
03:09There is a producer who traded the roles
03:12For access no contract would ever ask
03:14There is an island, a ranch, a townhouse of gold
03:17Where the ambitious are led and then sold
03:20They don't need your soul and some cartoon deal
03:22They just need the next generation to kneel
03:25The pattern is older than anyone named
03:27The building still stands, the game is the same
03:30They smile in the papers
03:31They fund the arts, they offer the latter
03:34They don't every part
03:36See what's right in front of you
03:41The golden door was always a noose
03:46They dangle the dream until you can't breathe
03:51Then ask for the part of you that still believes
03:56Oh, the truth is a wound that never heals
04:02Once you finally see
04:05You can never unsee
04:10What's been staring at you all alone
04:24She jumps
04:28Because some prices
04:31Even the desperate
04:33Refuse to pay
04:37The building is still full
04:41The offers still come
04:45Look closer
04:59The building is still full
