lyrics
Hold on I’m terrified
Access has been denied
Harsh lights neon stare
Don’t retrace what was never there
I stepped into
Harsh lights!
Can you recognize me?
Can you still see me?
Crossed arms at the green doors
Oh you gate keepers
Stopped screaming to be let in
I’m staring out of screen doors
With my party favors
Don’t tell me where I end or begin
Hold on I’m terrified
Access has been denied
First come isn’t who gets served
And you’ve got a lot of nerve
I stepped into
Harsh lights!
Can you recognize me?
Can you still see me?
Crossed arms at the green doors
Oh you gate keepers
Stopped screaming to be let in
I’m staring out of screen doors
With my party favors
Don’t tell me where I end or begin
You see me now you don’t
You see me now you don’t
You see me now you don’t
You see me now you don’t
Crossed arms at the green doors
Oh you gate keepers
Stopped screaming to be let in
I’m staring out of screen doors
With my party favors
Don’t tell me where I end or begin
Access has been denied
Harsh lights neon stare
Don’t retrace what was never there
I stepped into
Harsh lights!
Can you recognize me?
Can you still see me?
Crossed arms at the green doors
Oh you gate keepers
Stopped screaming to be let in
I’m staring out of screen doors
With my party favors
Don’t tell me where I end or begin
Hold on I’m terrified
Access has been denied
First come isn’t who gets served
And you’ve got a lot of nerve
I stepped into
Harsh lights!
Can you recognize me?
Can you still see me?
Crossed arms at the green doors
Oh you gate keepers
Stopped screaming to be let in
I’m staring out of screen doors
With my party favors
Don’t tell me where I end or begin
You see me now you don’t
You see me now you don’t
You see me now you don’t
You see me now you don’t
Crossed arms at the green doors
Oh you gate keepers
Stopped screaming to be let in
I’m staring out of screen doors
With my party favors
Don’t tell me where I end or begin
