[Intro: Eerie Music Box, Childlike Wind-Up Toy & Ticking Clock]
(Mmm, yeah...)
(Close your eyes...)
(Count to ten...)
(One, two, three...)
(Don't dare peek)
[Verse 1: Low, Creepy, Close-Mic Whisper Alto Delivery]
Come take a walk with me, let's play a little game
Child's play of hide and seek, but nothing is the same
Close your eyes and count to ten, don't you dare peek
You have to seek, try and find me in the deep
It won't be easy, I'm invincible, a mystery
You never really saw me fumbling through your history
You never really heard me, I have always been in hiding
Waiting, just waiting, while the shadows are dividing
But try to know me, take slow steps, cautiously
I don't like to trust, I move my spot so easily
But when you finally find me, it will be a surprise
You never even knew the gold that's hidden in my eyes!
(Never knew it, yeah!)
[Pre-Chorus: Plucking Violin Strings & Heartbeat Bass Build]
Fee fi fo fum, my mind wants to scream
I'm a giant when it comes to my heart and my dream
But yet I'm so small, running from the lock
Living in a world where the devil tries to mock
[Vocal Stutter] (F-F-Find me!)
Count to ten!
[Beat Drop: Heavy Slow-Rolling Dark Pop Synth Bass & Distorted Drum Slam]
[Chorus: Aggressive Dark Pop Belt & Grinding Industrial Sub-Bass]
Fee fi fo fum, I’m tearing down the wall!
I can't seem to open up, waiting for the fall!
And this giant hole inside my chest just gets bigger today!
A turnaround is coming, clearing all the fears away!
Do my words come out like blah-be-didah-blah-be-bohuh to you?
Do you understand the lengths that my compassion went through?
I am free, I am wild, breaking out of your routine!
No more hiding in the shadows of a crazy, twisted scene!
(No more hiding, no!)
[Post-Chorus: Playful Vocal Glitch & Dark Nursery Rhyme Chant]
(Hide and seek, hide and seek, running through the room)
(Ski-bi-di-bop, watching all the flowers bloom)
(Yeah, yeah, you never really saw me!)
[Verse 2: Snappy, Sarcastic Dream-Pop Pocket]
My heart is overflowing, my mind is just exploding
My soul is for the taking, but yet I'm hesitating
I've got questions that need answered in the quiet dark
If a tree fell in the woods, would it leave a spark?
Why do some birds migrate but the others choose to stay?
While I'm free-falling, watching winters turn to gray
Do you understand the lengths of my compassion, my friend?
I was meant to have a partner, not a game that has to end
I've been throwing hints far too long, waiting for the sound
Now I fall silently, crashing to the ground!
(Crashing to the ground, yeah!)
[Pre-Chorus: Plucking Violin Strings & Heartbeat Bass Build]
Fee fi fo fum, my mind wants to scream
I'm a giant when it comes to my heart and my dream
[Vocal Stutter] (F-F-Find me!)
[Chorus: Aggressive Dark Pop Belt & Grinding Industrial Sub-Bass]
Fee fi fo fum, I’m tearing down the wall!
I can't seem to open up, waiting for the fall!
And this giant hole inside my chest just gets bigger today!
A turnaround is coming, clearing all the fears away!
Do my words come out like blah-be-didah-blah-be-bohuh to you?
Do you understand the lengths that my compassion went through?
I am free, I am wild, breaking out of your routine!
No more hiding in the shadows of a crazy, twisted scene!
[Verse 3: Intimate, Eerie Spoken-Word Breakdown]
I sit by myself at midnight, counting the seconds slow
Realigning my frequency, letting the old fables go
My roots are deep, my spirit is completely clean
No longer a player in your little-kid routine
I'm not your secret, not your plaything in the dark
My Father came and rescued my beautiful, golden spark!
(Rescued my spark, hallelujah!)
[Bridge: Intense, Screaming Natalie Jane Style Climax]
(Let the music box shatter! Let the clocks blow!)
(I am a giant in my soul, letting the whole world know!)
No more hide and seek, no more fumbling in the dark!
I am letting His holy fire ignite my broken spark!
(Three, two, one — let the bass bleed!)
[Chorus: Maximum Energy Climax - Powerhouse Pop Belt]
[Chorus]
[Outro: Eerie music box melody slows down and decays into low synth hum]
(Dry vocal, completely raw, close to the mic)
One, two, three.
You didn't find me.
No more games.
I'm zipping up my dress.
(A single sharp, metallic click of a music box closing)
[Cold Stop]
