Intro] (Soft, haunting whispers)
Hush now, don’t you cry…
I’m still here, waiting…
Blink once, blink twice…
Then I’ll start singing…
⸻
[Verse 1]
Rocking gently in the attic light
Lace and dust wrapped way too tight
Hollow eyes, but I still see
The ghosts of you, the ghosts of me
Cracks along my porcelain face
Torn-up ribbons, stitched-up lace
Once you loved me, held me close
Now I sit here, all alone
⸻
[Chorus]
Won’t you play with me?
Turn the key, let the music breathe
In my hollow chest, a lullaby
Sing with me until you die…
Don’t leave me behind
I promise, I’ll be kind…
But if you turn away again
I might just take your life, my friend…
⸻
[Verse 2]
Did you hear that creak downstairs?
Must be shadows, must be air…
Or maybe it’s the girl you left,
With buttons for eyes and a broken chest…
My fingers twitch, my smile’s too wide
Glass hands reaching for the night
Winding up, my gears still turn
But don’t look back… you might get burned…
⸻
[Chorus]
Won’t you play with me?
Turn the key, let the music breathe
In my hollow chest, a lullaby
Sing with me until you die…
Don’t leave me behind
I promise, I’ll be kind…
But if you turn away again
I might just take your life, my friend…
⸻
[Bridge] (Music box slows, voice distorts)
Tick… tock… tick… tock…
My heart still beats, but the clock won’t stop…
Oh, you ran, but you can’t escape
The dolls don’t sleep, they lie in wait…
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be still…
Hiding in the window sill…
Close your eyes, count to ten…
Guess who’s standing there again?
⸻
[Final Chorus] (Soft, distant, eerie)
Won’t you stay with me?
Hold my hand, don’t ever leave…
Spin around, the dance won’t end
Till your soul is mine again…
So hush now, don’t you cry…
I’m still here, waiting…
Blink once, blink twice…
Now the doll is singing…
⸻
(Outro: Faint music box melody fades into silence…)
