Lyrics

Verse 1
Morning crawls on broken glass
Sun bleeds through the stacks
Ash in the air, tastes like coins
Dead town hums with leftover noise

Verse 2
Canvas scars on an empty lot
Painted smiles already rot
Posters read “Come be more
Everyone’s hungry, no one’s sure

[Solo]

Verse 3
Gates scream wide on rusted chains
Buy your ticket, trade your pain
Step right up, don’t ask why
Everybody wants inside

Chorus
Rusted gates at dawn
Let the lost ones in
Turn your hurt into a song
Let the bleeding win
Clap your hands, don’t look away
Pain looks better on display

Bridge
They say you’re safe beneath the lights
But the lights don’t sleep at night
You belong if you behave
Smile wide, dig your grave

Chorus
Rusted gates at dawn
Hear the crowd breathe in
Turn your scars to applause
Let the nightmare begin
Clap your hands, don’t make a sound
Watch them break without a frown
[Solo]
Outro
Drums fade out in smoke and dust
First laugh cracks, the tent goes up
Sun burns off, the lights stay on
Rusted gates at dawn
