[Verse 1]
Glass grin on the windowsill
Painted blush
Chipped at the jaw
Every night I count ’em slow
One more face than I saw before
Little shoes
All turned my way
Dust on lace
Cracked little hands
I swear I hear their tiny heads
Turn whenever I can’t stand
[Chorus]
Porcelain eyes
Watching me breathe
Every blink I take
They don’t ever leave
Porcelain eyes
Lined up in rows
I lock every door
Still everybody knows
I sleep with the dolls
I sleep with the dolls
[Verse 2]
Music box stuck on one sad note
Winding down
Still it grinds
Lipstick smear on a broken mouth
Smile too wide to be kind
[low vocal register]“Play with us”[/low vocal register] written on the wall
In a child-hand I don’t know
I move one doll
The rest all tilt
Closer than they were before
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Heads in the cupboard
Hands in the drawer
Eyes in the mirror
Don’t look anymore [/whispered vocals]
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
