[Verse 1]
Red dress
Dead eyes
Lipstick straight
Hands don’t shake
She laughs right on cue
Sips her drink like it’s all okay
Makes small talk
Big lies
Says she’s fine
Says she sleeps at night
While her monsters
Play chess with the exit signs
[Chorus]
She’s porcelain calm on the outside
Hair pinned up
Whole storm tied tight
Every smile’s a blade in disguise
She’s dancing with demons in daylight
Dancing with demons in daylight
Like nothing’s wrong
Like nothing bites
[Verse 2]
Phone off
Locked door
Shadow in the mirror on the bathroom floor
She hums that same old tune
To drown out the knocking under the boards
Fingerprints in the wine
She traces little halos then crosses the line
If you listen
You can hear her halo crack each time
[Chorus]
She’s porcelain calm on the outside
Hair pinned up
Whole storm tied tight
Every smile’s a blade in disguise
She’s dancing with demons in daylight
Dancing with demons in daylight
Like nothing’s wrong
Like nothing bites
[Bridge]
She counts the cracks in the ceiling (one, two, three)
Names every ghost in her chest (come to me)
Says
“If I let go
Who am I
When I’m not pretending my head’s a nest?” (shh)
[Chorus]
She’s porcelain calm on the outside
Hair pinned up
Whole storm tied tight
Every smile’s a blade in disguise
She’s dancing with demons in daylight
Dancing with demons in daylight
Till the dark walks home
In her open eyes
