### Verse 1 I built a little castle With a window to the sky, Polished every stone so bright, I almost missed the cracks inside. You came in with a smile, Said you'd only stay awhile, Then you settled in the basement, Redecorated my denial. ### Pre-Chorus Oh-oh, I saw the signs, Little sparks and warning lights. Oh-oh, I gave you room... You took the whole damn house. ### Chorus No shelter in the fallacy tonight, No hiding underneath the flashing lights. You pulled the beams beneath your feet, Then cursed the ground for giving way. You duck, you hide, you run around, Pretending gravity won't bring you down. You built a world where you were always right... But the roof came off tonight. ### Verse 2 Blueprints drawn on broken glass, Every room explained away. You painted every open door Until it looked too far to face. I mistook silence for repair, Called the settling "fresh air." Held the doorway open long enough... It only opened for you. ### Pre-Chorus Oh-oh, I tried to warn you. Oh-oh, I tried to care. Oh-oh, you kept believing Nothing waited anywhere. ### Chorus No shelter in the fallacy tonight, No magic trick, no grand disguise. The story that you built from smoke Couldn't stand the morning light. You duck, you hide, you count your days, Still dancing through your own charade. You traded everything you knew... For echoes that were never true. ### Bridge I sent that door your way, Not out of hate, Not out of rage. Just one last signal saying, *"Please step away."* My hands let go. My work was done. The lights came on. The crowd moved on. ### Final Chorus No shelter in the fallacy tonight, The windows finally let in light. No more carrying borrowed weight, No more bending truth to fate. Oh-oh, goodbye denial. Oh-oh, goodbye disguise. You can keep your little kingdom... I'll keep my peace of mind. ### Outro No shelter. No shelter. The roof is gone... The stars were there all this time. Nothing left to hide.
