The Sweetness Behind the Door

Lyric:

The Sweetness Behind the Door

[verse 1]
There’s a door at the end of the cotton hall,
Painted pink but too still to call.
I hear it humming late at night,
Low and warm like borrowed light.
Something sweet drips through the cracks,
Pulling gently, pulling back.

[pre-chorus]
Every sugar dream I chased
Leads me here, to hollow taste.

[chorus]
What’s the sweetness behind the door?
Soft as a whisper, dark at the core.
It calls my name in candied tones,
Echoes shaped like broken bones.
If comfort comes in wanting more,
Show me the sweetness behind the door.

[verse 2]
The floor grows warm beneath my feet,
A syrup glow, a heartbeat beat.
I push the door, it opens slow—
Bathes my skin in honeyed glow.
But inside, something watches still,
A shadow made of sugar thrill.

[pre-chorus]
Beauty coated in disguise,
Pretty fear in pastel dyes.

[chorus]
What’s the sweetness behind the door?
Soft as a whisper, dark at the core.
It calls my name in candied tones,
Echoes shaped like broken bones.
If comfort comes in wanting more,
Show me the sweetness behind the door.

[bridge]
Maybe sweetness isn’t grace—
Just a mask with a glowing face.
Maybe I was meant to see
The part of pretty that isn’t free.

[outro]
So let the door swing open wide,
Let the neon pull inside.
If this is what the dream was for,
I’ll taste the sweetness… behind the door.
