As One Door Closes - JT Music

They trapped me inside of Aperture Science

Where chatty AI’s are lacking compliance

Been 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 they 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

And I’ll still be alive

And I’ll still be alive
