00:07They said the door was open, they said the world was fair
00:13They said the old ways broken would leave no empty chairs
00:20But the chairs keep growing colder, and the rooms keep growing wide
00:26And the ones who held the power, are the ones who cannot hide
00:36She walked through every threshold, they told her she was free
00:42She collected every key, they said belong to me
00:48She learned to speak in slogans, she learned to count the cost
00:54She learned that giving nothing was the way to never lose
01:01And the boys who used to wait outside, started turning off the light
01:07Started learning how to sleep alone, in the quiet of the night
01:14Look closer
01:16It's already written on the glass
01:20Look closer
01:23At the faces walking past, they said the future belonged to
01:32They never asked what it would cost
01:38Now the cribs are empty, and the nights are long and lost
01:44They said the throne was waiting, they never said who else would leave
01:50Now the kingdom stands in silence, and the queen is on her knees
02:01He used to bring the flowers, he used to hold the door
02:08He used to think forever was something worth fighting for
02:14But the rules kept changing mid-game, and the score was never fair
02:20So he learned to stop the reaching, and he learned to stop the prayer
02:26Now the apps keep spinning numbers, that don't add up to a life
02:33And the mirror shows a stranger who forgot how to be a wife
02:40Look closer
02:42It's already written on the glass
02:46Look closer
02:48At the faces walking past, they said the future belonged to her
02:57They never asked what it would cost
03:03Now the cribs are empty, and the nights are long and lost
03:10They said the throne was waiting, they never said who else would leave
03:16Now the kingdom stands in silence, and the queen is on her knees
03:26The queen is on her knees
03:34They called it liberation
03:36They called it progress bright
03:40They never counted the empty beds or the silence in the night
03:46They never counted the men who left, and never came back home
03:52They never counted the years that passed, while she waited on her throne
03:58And now the ones who wrote the rules, are the ones who feel the cold
04:05And the truth they never wanted, is the only truth that's told
04:11They said the future belonged to her
04:18They never asked what it would cost
04:24Now the cribs are empty, and the nights are long and lost
04:30They said the throne was waiting, they never said who else would leave
04:36Now the kingdom stands in silence
04:40And the queen is on her knees
04:49See what's right in front of you
04:52The numbers never lied
04:55The ones who know will know
04:58And the rest will still deny
05:02The door was never locked
05:05It was simply left behind
