[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sky turned red that night
And the laughter learned to bite
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the thunder hums her name
And the game is not a game
[Chorus]
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
[Breakdown]
(soft, almost playful)
Still smiling… still sweet…
(glitch snap)
STILL WATCHING YOU BLEED
Flash. (HEY!)
Strike. (HEY!)
Gone.
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
