# GENERAL ADMISSION [Intro] [Distant calliope] [Reversed piano] [Wind through rusted carnival rides] [Deep sub pulse] [Whispered ambience] "Step right up..." ## Verse 1 Every soul gets through the gate, Every heart wears a disguise. I saw the light beneath your shadows, Even when you closed your eyes. I believed in who you could be, Long before you believed it too. But hope can't pull a hand to safety... If it never reaches back for you. ## Build [Rising tension] [Filtered bass] [Layered whispers] Love was never meant To become my cage. You can't rewrite a story From someone else's page. ## Chorus [Full drums] [Wide synths] [Cinematic impacts] Not everybody can be saved... No matter how hard you try. You can't breathe life into a soul That's choosing not to climb. I know you're better than this. I always will believe. But I won't lose myself again... Trying to make you see. ## Drop [Massive melodic bass] [Ghost vocal chops] [Distorted carnival organ] [Choir swells] General admission... Step off... Wake up... Let go... ## Verse 2 [Pulsing sub] [Dark piano] [Atmospheric pads] You kept feeding every fire I was trying to put out. I handed you the ticket... Only you can claim your way out. I can't make you step off the ride. I can't carry you into the light. Every soul gets general admission... Not every soul chooses to leave. ## Build 2 [Risers] [Percussion builds] [Reverse effects] I crossed the lines I'd never cross. Forgot the strength I'd fought to find. Until I saw the only thing I couldn't save... was your decision. ## Bridge [Beat strips away] [Strings] [Ambient drones] I know you're more Than the mask you wear. I know the person Still buried there. But belief isn't enough To change your fate. The gate is open... You have to walk through it. ## Final Chorus [Biggest vocal stack] [Full orchestra] [Huge bass] Not everybody can be saved... Some lessons can't be borrowed. You can't steal another sunrise If you keep choosing tomorrow. I'll be here if you decide To leave the ghosts behind. But I won't return To the darkness... Just because you call it home. ## Final Drop [Huge melodic dubstep] [Choir] [Heavy bass] [Calliope melody] General admission... The gate is open... Step off the ride... Choose... ## Outro [Piano only] [Carousel slowing] [Wind] [One distant bell] I never stopped believing in you. I just stopped believing I had to lose myself... To prove it. General admission is free... Leaving is your choice.
