Smiles in the Static

Little paws in the midnight fog

Skipping light like a broken cog

Golden glow in a world gone grey

Laughing soft where the dead things lay

Footsteps echo where no one lives

Taking more than the dark one gives

She was small—but she never hid

Every shadow knew what she did

Then the sky turned red that night

And the laughter learned to bite

Zap—zap—zap—light the dark (HEY!)

Smile wide—leave your mark (HEY!)

Too bright now—don’t you see?

Something’s wrong with what I’ll be

Zap—zap—feel the storm (ZAP! ZAP!)

Twist and bend—reshape the form (GO! GO!)

Laughing as the lightning hits

Stay too long—you won’t exist

Crimson teeth and velvet lies

Reflected deep in hollow eyes

Names she knew don’t sound the same

Every memory burns like flame

But she found it in the ash

Something wild behind the flash

No blood pact, no stolen right

Just a storm that learned to bite

Now the thunder hums her name

And the game is not a game

Zap—zap—zap—light the dark (HEY!)

Smile wide—leave your mark (HEY!)

Too bright now—don’t you see?

Something’s wrong with what I’ll be

Zap—zap—feel the storm (ZAP! ZAP!)

Twist and bend—reshape the form (GO! GO!)

Laughing as the lightning hits

Stay too long—you won’t exist

(soft, almost playful)

Still smiling… still sweet…

(glitch snap)

STILL WATCHING YOU BLEED

Flash. (HEY!)

Strike. (HEY!)

Gone.

In the mirror—tilt your head

Is that you, or what’s been fed?

Every spark that dances free

Burns a deeper part of me

Round and round the halls I go

Chasing things I shouldn’t know

If I stop—the smile might slip…

So I never loosen grip

Still she laughs—still she runs

Hunting truth in everyone

Storm in veins and teeth that glow

She won’t stop—and she won’t slow

Every shadow bends in place

Every heartbeat sets the pace

Tiny frame—but something vast

Moving far too bright, too fast

Zap—zap—zap—light the dark (HEY!)

Smile wide—leave your mark (HEY!)

Too bright now—don’t you see?

Something’s wrong with what I’ll be

Zap—zap—feel the storm (ZAP! ZAP!)

Twist and bend—reshape the form (GO! GO!)

Laughing as the lightning hits

Stay too long—you won’t exist
