[Verse 1]
I stitched your name on a porcelain doll,
Fed it sugar poison, watched it crawl.
Your smile’s a carousel I can’t escape,
Round and round ‘til the teeth all break.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you hear the nursery rhyme in my throat?
Singing “love me, kill me, wear me like a coat.”
[Chorus]
Candy-coated knives in a paper heart,
Cut me into ribbons, call it modern art.
I’ll bite, I’ll claw, I’ll swallow the lies,
Sweet obsession tastes like
Candy-coated knives.
[Verse 2]
I drink your shadow like strawberry wine,
Carve little graves in between the lines.
I giggle while the roses start to rot,
Darling, you’re the sickness that I never forgot.
I paint our love with frosting and blood,
Decorate the wounds like a carnival flood.
Laugh through the pain as it drips down my chin,
Isn’t it lovely when monsters win?
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you see the bloodstains under my lace?
Kiss them softer, paint my face.
[Chorus]
Candy-coated knives in a paper heart,
Cut me into ribbons, call it modern art.
I’ll burn, I’ll bleed, I’ll play with my crimes,
Sweet obsession tastes like
Candy-coated knives.
[Bridge 1 – Creepy Lullaby]
Hush, hush, darling, don’t be scared,
Love’s just sharper when it’s shared.
Stitch my veins with bubblegum thread,
Sleep beside me when you’re dead.
[Verse 3 – Human Layer]
I know I’m insane, but it feels like home,
Dancing in a dollhouse I built of bones.
You tell me “let go,” but I never will,
I’d rather die haunted than live without thrill.
Your face in the mirror, it taunts me sweet,
I claw at the glass, beg you to meet.
You’re all that I wanted, you’re all that survives,
I’ll kiss you forever with candy-coated knives.
[Bridge 2 – Twisted Confession]
I’ll lock the door and throw away the key,
Your shadow’s the only one who plays with me.
Every bruise is love, every scar is mine,
If you run, I’ll chase you ‘til the end of time.
[Final Chorus – Explosive]
Candy-coated knives in a paper heart,
Cut me into ribbons, call it modern art.
I’ll bleed, I’ll break, I’ll sweetly disguise,
This twisted obsession with
Candy-coated knives.
[Outro – Whispered]
Sugar, sugar, sharpened sweet…
Kiss my madness, bite my teeth.
If I can’t have you, I’ll rewrite my life—
With candy-coated knives.
(giggles fade into silence)
