[Verse 1]
Step 1
Sell your shame for a camera flash
Sign in blood
On a neon trash-stained contract pad
You want fame?
Wear your skin like a loaded ad
Smile wide
While the vultures count what you never had
[Chorus]
Welcome to the dope show baptism (baptism!)
Where they crown you king of the dirty prism
Body up for auction
Soul on layaway
You wanna be a star?
You learn to love decay (hey!)
Dope show baptism
Drown in the light
Porn-made prophet in the dead of the night
[Verse 2]
Step 2
Practice sins in a bathroom mirror
Fake moans
Til the mask sinks in and feels clearer
Step 3
Swallow every line that they’re feeding
They say “babe
You’re free”
But your freedom’s bleeding
[Bridge]
[Tempo drops
Chugs hammering]
(Male) I am the director in your head
“Open wider
Die instead”
(Female) I am the contract in your veins
“Sign again
Erase your name”
(Together)
You want to learn the rules?
There’s only one command
Put your heart on the table
Let them cut it for the brand
[Chorus]
Welcome to the dope show baptism (baptism!)
Where they crown you queen of the split decision
Body on the billboard
Hope in disarray
You wanna be a star?
You gotta fade away
Dope show baptism
Lights never dim
Porn-made martyr as the stage goes grim
