The Door Was Never Locked✨

[Intro — distant whistle and whispers] Come closer, little sinner The door was never locked You heard me in the silence You knew exactly what you sought [Verse 1] Black nails tapping on the table Counting favors, counting scars You call your damage complicated I call it knowing who you are You wear your virtue like a costume Pinned together with a grin Every time you preach forgiveness I can hear the hunger underneath your skin [Pre-Chorus] You say you want a clean escape Then feed the beast another name You swear the fire isn't yours While striking matches at the door [Chorus] Come home, come home, your hunger knows the way Come home, come home, no halo gets to stay You can dress it up in mercy You can call it self-control But the thing beneath your heartbeat Has been waiting to come home [Verse 2] Now the walls are leaning inward And the floor forgets your feet Every promise turns to metal Every pulse becomes a beat You made a throne from your excuses Put a crown on every lie When the mirror starts to answer Don't pretend you don't recognize the eyes [Pre-Chorus] You say you want a clean escape Then feed the beast another name You swear the fire isn't yours While striking matches at the door [Hook — aggressive spoken lines] Look at you—so innocent. Say it again, maybe you’ll believe it. Kneel for the version they can forgive. I prefer the one that bites. [Bridge — stripped, whispered] Seven locks beneath the tongue Seven debts beneath the skin I went searching for a monster Found the key beneath my grin No witness, no confession No savior in the hall Just one voice behind the breathing Saying, “You were never lost at all.” [Final Chorus — explosive reveal] Come home, come home, the secret wears your face Come home, come home, you've always known the place There was no hand inside the darkness No stranger at the door That voice you called temptation Was your own forevermore [Gang Vocals] Come home! Come home! Show them what you are! [Outro — whistle, feedback, whispered] The door was never locked. You were the one who called.
