Porcelain Smile, Razor Brain

[Verse 1]
You whisper in the kitchen
I stir my tea too slow
Names like little paper cuts
I let the sugar glow
You trade your secret sideways looks
Think I don't see a thing
I catalog the tiny tells
And let my dumb smile sing (mm-hm)
[Chorus]
I play dumb
Porcelain smile
Like I can't see the crooked tiles
All your quiet
Clumsy lies
Shuffle by in a crooked line
I know every little scheme you spin
Every dagger tucked in your grin
But I just blink
Blink
Blink
Pretend I don't think
A thing
[Verse 2]
You build your tiny kingdoms
In group chats I "forget"
Thrones of inside jokes and memes
I haven't "seen" just yet
You crown yourselves with borrowed truths
Sharpen every friendly word
I file away each brittle laugh
Act like I never heard (oh wow)
[Chorus]
I play dumb
Porcelain smile
Like I can't see the crooked tiles
All your quiet
Clumsy lies
Shuffle by in a crooked line
I know every little scheme you spin
Every dagger tucked in your grin
But I just blink
Blink
Blink
Pretend I don't think
A thing
[Bridge]
One day you'll trip
On the stories you stack
Chairs on a table
Knives in the back
I'll still be here
Tea in my cup
Nodding along
Like I just woke up (mm, really?)
[Chorus]
I play dumb
Porcelain smile
Like I can't see the crooked tiles
All your quiet
Clumsy lies
Shuffle by in a crooked line
I know every little scheme you spin
Every dagger tucked in your grin
But I just blink
Blink
Blink
Let my quiet thoughts
Stay king

Indie pop with a sly swing, brushed drums and rubbery bass, glockenspiel sparkles on the top. Verses stay soft and close, almost whispered; chorus opens with stacked harmonies and claps, a wink in the delivery. Short bridge with a warped toy-keyboard lead. Female vocals with a mischievous, confessional tone.
