[Verse 1] You built a wall and called it taste Guarded rooms with velvet gates Said “Not yet” to every hand That didn’t fit your master plan You liked it scarce, you liked control Liked deciding who was whole But doors don’t stay the way you set And futures don’t ask for regret [Pre-Chorus] You can fear it You can fight it You can say it isn’t right But you can’t stop What opens wider When the lock gives up the fight [Chorus] This is access Not collapse You don’t lose when others have More voices More hands More ways to understand This is access Not attack You don’t fade because we expand If the door is open Walk through Or step back [Post-Chorus Hook] Access / granted Fear / recanted Old rules / dismantled Access [Verse 2] You call it cheap, you call it fast You call it future built to crash But you said that about the sound When synths first started shaking ground You said that when the camera came When color broke the black-and-white frame History’s a looping track You panic then you take it back [Pre-Chorus 2] You can hesitate Take your time No one’s pulling you inside But don’t pretend That widening Is the same thing as decline [Chorus] This is access Not collapse You don’t lose when others have More voices More hands More ways to understand This is access Not attack We don’t shrink because we expand If the door is open Walk through Or step back [Bridge – Calm, Devastating] Progress doesn’t ask permission It offers entry Ignorance isn’t innocence It’s just comfort You’re allowed to be afraid You’re not allowed To close the door [Final Chorus – Big, Liberated] This is access Not collapse We are louder when we have More color More thought More chance to be a lot This is access Not attack The future isn’t looking back If the door is open Walk through Or step back.
