[Title: I Don’t Want Button Eyes – Street Dolls]
[BPM: 134]
[INTRO – eerie music box + reversed piano + soft glitch + whisper ad-libs]
(Lily – whisper)
Close the door… don’t turn the light…
(May – ad-libs: don’t you stare)
(Hana – spoken)
They smile too much in perfect lies…
[VERSE 1 – minimal beat + hollow bass + toy synth]
(Lily)
Pretty walls, painted dreams,
Something’s wrong behind the seams,
Sugar voices call my name,
Every wish feels just the same.
(May)
Candy skies, porcelain land,
Cold affection, perfect hands,
Every truth is hard to find,
Sweet disguise, poisoned mind.
(May – ad-libs: fake delight, sugar bite)
[PRE-CHORUS – rising pads + tension build]
(Lily)
They say, “Stay, it’s safe inside,”
But I see through every lie.
(May – ad-libs: don’t believe)
[CHORUS – bouncy bass + punchy drums + haunting synth]
(All)
I don’t want button eyes,
No stitched-up lullabies,
No pretty little lies,
Behind those frozen smiles,
I don’t want plastic skies,
No candy-coated cries,
Don’t sew my dreams shut tight,
I don’t want button eyes.
(Lily – ad-libs: no, no)
(May – ad-libs: cut the thread)
[VERSE 2 – darker groove + layered vocals]
(May)
Golden plates, empty taste,
Perfect love feels out of place,
Every promise hides a knife,
Pretty traps, a stolen life.
(Lily)
Velvet hearts, paper skin,
Fake perfection pulling in,
Every breath feels wrong somehow,
I won’t let you own me now.
(Lily – ad-libs: fall apart)
[CHORUS – FULL ENERGY + layered harmonies]
(All)
I don’t want button eyes,
No stitched-up lullabies,
No pretty little lies,
Behind those frozen smiles,
I don’t want plastic skies,
No candy-coated cries,
Don’t sew my dreams shut tight,
I don’t want button eyes.
[RAP – Hana (REDUZIDO + dark playful flow)]
(Hana)
Golden cages, painted fear,
Sweet control that pulls me near,
Cut the strings, crack the spell,
I won’t stay inside your hell.
(Hana – ad-libs: click-clack, break that)
[BRIDGE – music box breakdown + airy pads]
(Lily)
If I stay, I lose my name,
(May)
If I run, I feel the pain,
(All – soft)
Let me hurt, let me cry,
At least I know I’m alive.
[FINAL CHORUS – BIG DROP + FULL IMPACT]
(All)
I don’t want button eyes,
No stitched-up lullabies,
No pretty little lies,
Behind those frozen smiles,
I don’t want plastic skies,
No candy-coated cries,
Don’t sew my dreams shut tight,
I don’t want button eyes.
(Lily – ad-libs: no more fear)
(May – ad-libs: set me free)
(Hana – ad-libs: break the spell)
[OUTRO – distorted lullaby + fading music box]
(Lily – whisper)
I choose the dark… if it’s real.
