[DEAR DIARY – Street Dolls]
[BPM: 94]
[INTRO]
[FX: reversed vocals, warped music box, soft glitch pulse]
Mm-mm.
Ah-ah.
[FX: breath in, beat drops.]
[VERSE 1 – Lily]
I wrote a lie in red ink last night.
Told my demons everything’s alright.
The mirror talks when no one’s near.
It knows my name, it feeds my fear.
I hide my teeth when I start to smile.
I’ve been pretending for a while.
Every “fine” I say out loud.
Is a secret screaming in a crowd.
[Ad-libs: soft breaths, whispered “fine”.]
[PRE-CHORUS – May]
Candles melt while I confess.
Every sin inside my chest.
What I hide, I can’t erase.
So I spill it on the page.
[Ad-libs: whispered “confess”, “erase”.]
[CHORUS – CHANT | FAST]
Ink drip, lip zip, sin sweet.
Heart rot, mind knot, no sleep.
Flip page, red rage, bad thought.
Lock box, tick-tock, time caught.
Write fast, no mask, pure mess.
Sharp truth, bad youth, confess.
Rip sheet, cold heat, don’t stare.
All my sins live right here.
[Ad-libs: “hey”, short laughs, breath hits.]
[POST-CHORUS]
Mm-mm.
It hurts so good when I write it down.
Mm-mm.
Feel my halo hit the ground.
[FX: vinyl crackle, echo tail.]
[VERSE 2 – Hana]
I draw a face I don’t believe.
Porcelain skin, stitched and clean.
The dolls all watch me when I breathe.
They know the girl I’ll never be.
I count my sins like lullabies.
Sweet and sick in pretty lies.
Some are loud, some barely there.
Some still tangle in my hair.
[Ad-libs: low laugh, whispered “pretty lies”.]
[PRE-CHORUS 2 – May]
Lock the door, kill the light.
Say my name wrong every night.
If I’m cruel, if I’m weak.
Let the paper hear me speak.
[CHORUS – CHANT | REPEAT]
Ink drip, lip zip, sin sweet.
Heart rot, mind knot, no sleep.
Flip page, red rage, bad thought.
Lock box, tick-tock, time caught.
Write fast, no mask, pure mess.
Sharp truth, bad youth, confess.
Rip sheet, cold heat, don’t stare.
All my sins live right here.
[BRIDGE – Lily & May]
If I’m broken, let it show.
If I’m lost, at least I know.
Every secret that I keep.
Was too alive to ever sleep.
[FX: beat strips back, heavy reverb.]
[FINAL CHORUS – EXTENDED]
Ink stain, wrist ache, same me.
No shame, still sweet, still free.
Close book, don’t look, goodnight.
All my wrongs feel right tonight.
Ink drip, page ripped, bare skin.
Let the dark back in again.
[Ad-libs: layered chants, soft laughs.]
[OUTRO]
[FX: music box slowing, heartbeat fading.]
Dear diary.
Hold my scars.
Goodnight.
