[Verse] I walked into the lion's den tonight A veil of silk but the air's a fight Whispers crawling through the chandelier Promises break when the rules appear [Chorus] Ready or not the game begins A deadly dance beneath my skin Through gilded halls where secrets creep Love’s a wager we can’t keep [Verse 2] Faces painted with hollow smiles Laughter echoes but it feels like trial A blade of gold hides in every hand In this house of glass I make my stand [Chorus] Ready or not the game begins A deadly dance beneath my skin Through gilded halls where secrets creep Love’s a wager we can’t keep [Bridge] The clock it ticks with a wicked grin My heart's a drum as the walls close in In shadows deep where the truth won't shine Survival's pulse becomes my line [Verse 3] A lover's vow now a loaded gun Trust dissolves in the rising sun This family feast is a bloodied stage Freedom's cost is the beast in rage
