Intro (distant, lullaby, echoing)

i want to wake… (wake… wake)
or maybe i don’t… (don’t… don’t)

i’m somewhere…
i’m somewhere i won’t… (won’t… won’t)

Verse 1 (lost, dreamlike, childlike confusion)

i’m jumping on clouds, pushing the storm
not sure where i’m at, i just know that i’m alone… (alone… alone)
the static fills the air, i’m another earthly form… (form… form)
not really alive, but not fully gone… (gone… gone)

the big man stands tall, never wavering his voice (voice… voice)
he doesn’t hesitate, like i don’t have a choice (choice… choice)
he holds out his hand for mine to grab
but i’m cold, i’m fragile… i just want to go back… (back… back)

and there… was the door…
what am i living for…? (for… for…)

Chorus (disoriented, echoing, identity slipping)

this portal, this place, this dream i’ll face
where is my face… (face… face)
where is this place… (place… place)

confused, seasick, the will to live
it’s all a blur… (blur… blur)
what did you do to her…? (her… her)

she’s blue… (blue… blue)
not red… (no… no)

Verse 2 (detached, eerie observation)

her messed up head, her guts filled with lead (lead… lead)
her hair a mess, her clothes not dressed (mess… mess)
she’s stiff as stone, porcelain skin (stone… stone)
hollow inside, nothing within… (within… within)

unknown… (unknown…)
a doll at best… (best… best)
familiar face… just like the rest… (rest… rest)

Chorus (slightly stronger, layered)

this portal, this place, this dream i’ll face
where is my face… (face… face)
where is this place… (place… place)

confused, seasick, the will to live
it’s all a blur… (blur… blur)
what did you do to her…? (her… her)

Verse 3 (time distortion, unease growing)

she’s jumping in and out of time
unsure of where it went… (went… went)
it felt like it was right here
now there’s no more of it… (it… it)

the flickering light, off and dull
blinking slow, then none at all… (all… all)
eyes uncovered, but no sight
she fears the dark… and fears the light… (light… light)

Bridge (folklore, haunting, building tension)

secrets unfolded… (folded… folded)
folklore unspoken… (spoken… spoken)
mistakes are growing… (growing… growing)
the river keeps flowing… (flowing… flowing)

small legs, but heavy might
moving wrong, but feels so right… (right… right)
something’s off, but no one sees
she’s begging for release… (please… please)

Break (minimal, almost whispered)

dream a little dream… (dream… dream)
a little drug, a little lean… (lean… lean)
a little smug, it’s very clean… (clean… clean)
a little nice… a little mean… (mean… mean)

Final Chorus (full, haunting, layered repetition)

this portal, this place, this dream i’ll face
where is my face… (face… face)
where is this place… (place… place)

confused, seasick, the will to live
it’s all a blur… (blur… blur)
what did you do to her…? (her… her)

she’s blue… (blue… blue)
not red… (red… red)
her messed up head… (head… head)
she’s porcelain… (porcelain…)

Outro (soft, eerie lullaby fade)

she’s stiff as stone… (stone… stone)
