[Title: Shadow Game]
[Spoken Intro]
"Please, mommy, don’t turn off the light..." [FX: click]
[Verse 1 – Lily – ethereal / sweet]
"When the light goes out, shadows crawl across the floor [echo…]
Little Teddy watches, helpless, nothing more
Doors creak, the wind whispers lullabies
Every step a game, every shadow hides lies [echo…]"
"Cloth dolls tumble, laughing in the dark
I feel so small, lost, trapped in my own heart [echo…]
Shadows pull me, twirling me around
Monsters in my room, nowhere safe to be found"
[Ad-libs: “Ahh… spinning… spinning… shadows…”]
[Pre-Chorus – May – playful & dark]
"Shadows invite me to a never-ending dance
Every whisper is sweet, but it’s also a chance [echo…]
My heart beats like a toy drum’s echo
This room’s a circus, spinning me slow"
[FX: echoes of footsteps, distorted childlike giggles]
[Chorus – All – playful & sinister]
"In the dark, shadows play and laugh [echo…]
I hide, I find myself, secrets cut in half
Every shadow has a secret to share
In my room, I can only dare [echo…]"
[Ad-libs: “Play… play… shadows… hide… hide…”, echo on keywords]
[Verse 2 – Hana – dark rap / playful]
"Doors slam, curtains twirl in a ghostly spin
Toy ghosts circle, grinning with a hidden grin [echo…]
Wooden dolls with glassy eyes stare
Watching me move, trapped in the snare"
"Teddy just observes, silent in his place
Laughter cuts the air, a twisted embrace [echo…]
In the dark, everything seems to mock
But nobody hears the tick-tock of my clock"
[FX: heartbeat percussion, echoing syllables]
[Pre-Chorus 2 – May]
"Shadows dance, the floor starts to spin [echo…]
Giggles push me to the edge within
Every shadow whispers stories untold
And I lose myself in memories cold [echo…]"
[Chorus – All – layered & darker]
"In the dark, shadows play and laugh [echo…]
I hide, I find myself, secrets cut in half
Every shadow has a secret to share
In my room, I can only dare [echo…]"
[Ad-libs: “Ahh… shadows… spinning… hiding… ahh…”]
[Bridge – Lily + May – spoken / ethereal]
"Click… doors close…
Dolls dance [echo…]
Laughter no one heard
Every shadow tugs… every shadow calls [echo…]"
[FX: echo, wind, whispers of toys]
[Final Chorus – All – intense / layered]
"In the dark, shadows play and laugh [echo…]
I hide, I find myself, secrets cut in half
Every shadow has a secret to share
In my room, I can only dare [echo…]"
[Ad-libs final: “Play… shadows… dance… hide… fade… fade… ahh…”]
