LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I see you standing in the spotlight's glare.
With a million dollars tangled in your hair.
The crowd is screaming, calling out your name.
Moths flying straight into the flame.
You smile at them, but I see the cracks.
Like a porcelain doll about to collapse.
You’re the queen of the night, everybody knows.
But you’re shivering under those expensive clothes.

[Chorus]
It’s a Golden Cage, Lily.
Bars made of light.
It shines so bright, it blinds your sight.
You can sing like a bird, you can fly so high.
But you hit the ceiling every time you try.
Break the lock, baby. Break the key.
Come back down to the dirt with me.

[Verse 2]
Mr. Gold is watching from the VIP.
Sipping his wine, happy as can be.
He thinks he owns the beat in your chest.
He thinks he put your spirit to rest.
But I see your hand shaking on the mic stand.
You’re looking for a savior in this lonely land.
Look at me, Lily! Look through the shine!
I’m here to take back what was never mine!

[Bridge]
Don't sing the encore!
Don't take the bow!
If you’re gonna run, you gotta run right now!
Throw down the crown!
Tear off the dress!
Leave this beautiful, glorious mess!

[Chorus]
It’s a Golden Cage, Lily!
Bars made of light!
It shines so bright, it blinds your sight!
You can sing like a bird, you can fly so high!
But you hit the ceiling every time you try!
Break the lock, baby! Break the key!
Come back down to the dirt with me!

[Outro]
She sees me.
She stopped singing.
She's dropping the mic...
