(Intro - whispered with creepy music box)
Tick… tock…
Wind me up…
Watch me break…
(Children laughing… then tape slows to a stop.)
⸻
Verse 1
You dressed me up in porcelain skin…
Painted a smile…
Called it a sin…
Locked me underneath your bed…
Fed me nightmares…
Called me dead…
Pulled my strings…
Made me dance…
Now you’re choking…
On your second chance…
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I’m…
Not…
Broken…
I’m evolving…
⸻
Chorus
I’M THE LITTLE MONSTER!
Bury your prayers inside my teeth!
Break your halo—
Feed the beast!
Scream my name—
I don’t need forgiveness!
I’m the nightmare…
You created…
NOW YOU GET TO LIVE IT!!
⸻
Verse 2
Stuffed me full of all your lies…
Needles…
Scars…
Button eyes…
Every crack…
Every chain…
Built a kingdom…
Out of pain…
Watch me crawl…
Watch me grin…
Watch your perfect world…
Caving in…
⸻
Breakdown
(Half spoken… then screamed.)
Who’s afraid…
Who’s afraid now?
WHO’S THE MONSTER?!
YOU…
YOU…
YOU MADE ME!!
BLEGH!!
⸻
Final Chorus
I’M THE LITTLE MONSTER!
Black balloons and gasoline!
Paint the carnival…
Crimson dreams!
No more cages…
No more crying…
Watch your perfect angels…
FALL…
SCREAMING!!
⸻
Outro
(Heavy guitars stop.)
Music box returns…
Tiny voice:
“Can we play again?”
BOOM
Final guitar hit.
