One Door Closes - Daniel Hart

They trapped me inside of Aperture Science Where chatty AI's are lacking compliance Benn napping a while, the lab is so quiet GLaDOS is yapping but I am happily silent I question if I should ask her for guidance As I grab a device, a crafty appliance I'll get through hazardous trials, deadly assignments I've been traveling like a dimensional pilot Bye gravity, I would rather defy it Why think inside of the box? I'm stepping outside it I was promised cake, but I'm back on a diet And I've yet to decide if GLaDOS is lyin' She's acting all nice, she's actually violent Her cameras are live, she'll laugh as you're dying Like the mass homicide of Aperture Science "What happened to my morality? Fried it" That's it, GLaDOS, I quit As one door closes Another opens But there are no keys See, I control them My test has begun Now that you've woken Your dreams of freedom Keep you in motion If I can't find a door to get through A portal will do, just connect orange and blue Ignore personality cores who try to be cordial A moral code ain't what that normally use I might have side effects of isolation I spied somebody and then I tried to chase em But all I'm finding is myself, I'm kinda shaken Feels like a paradox that I might be makin' Am I flying down or falling up Cuz the guide I had has gone corrupt, yup The writing on the wall's enough To find all her lies, and call her bluff My companion cube - I'm not forgetting you Remember all the times that you helped get me through Rest In Peace my friend, but your death's avengable When I make GLaDOS a sentient vegetable Forget the cake - now that she's edible As one door closes Another opens Live hands me lemons But I don't hold them I'm keeping secrets Can you decode them? I had a conscience But it was broken Another test, I can pass that Impossible? I think I'll have a crack at Too bad that it took me this long to see GLaDOS snapped, and I'm nothing but her lab rat Fact - never mess with Aperture Science Accept death, cuz they'll never ask for your silence "We do what we must because we can" So just lock 'em up, and run tests on them Black Mesa - no competition It's in the name - Aperture got the vision Bring your daughter to work if you want her missin' It'll become her grave, if it's not her prison This is a half-life that I can't live anymore in Just forming portals - wormholes I'm borin' But let me test out your turret performance As you send me off with an uplifting chorus As one door closes Another opens You will have no friends Because you smoked them We all have secrets Now we can show them I know you well chell I'll let you go then I'll stay behind I like it inside More tests to run down here, and besides You've overcome all odds to survive We'll see how long you make it outside Surprised you're still alive It's time for you to die And I'll still be alive And I'll still be alive And I'll still be alive

We were one and the same The blood that once passed through your veins Now flows in mine I need someone to blame Who decided to end this game? It's much too early right now As I call out to you I'm not sure if you are receiving Can you hear me? It should never be true This void that I can not break through A heart divided in two So I writhe through this night, gazing upwards at vacant skies And it's too much now, I can't face this anymore But there's no escaping, there's only one door They say this pain will surely fade In time it goes away But nothing seems to change This aching still remains No bridge onto your side I must wait until I die And I'll think of you from dusk 'til dawn I'll hold my breath from night to morn And I'll call upon our last embrace Tide me over until I see your face again Will the world explode before I hold your hand Will my tears bring lakes to this desert sand And I don't know if I can be the man That I knew, that you were
