[Verse 1]
Deep Twin:
Alice
Pretty puzzle
Mud on your knees
Lace on your wrists
You walked through the wrong red door
And I’ve been waiting in the mist (oh…)
High Twin:
Alice
Little lantern
Hands full of questions
Cheeks full of frost
You followed every crooked sign
And every sign was me
Half-lost
[Pre-Chorus]
Deep Twin:
We wrote your name
In the bark of a poisoned tree
High Twin:
We stitched our names
Inside the seams of your sleep
Both:
You think you’re dreaming us
But we’re the ones who dream
[Chorus]
Both:
Welcome to our mirror-heart wonderland
Alice
Where every wish cuts twice
But we’ll hold your hand (come closer)
We’ll lay the whole wide world at your bare white feet
If you promise
If you promise not to leave
Deep Twin:
We’ll crown you queen of all our quiet sins
High Twin:
We’ll paint your throat with sugar and secrets
Both:
Little Alice
Say you love the twins
[Verse 2]
High Twin:
You taste like Sunday cherries
Stolen in the cemetery rain
You laugh at every broken rule
Then ask us to explain your stain
Deep Twin:
Your shadow fits us perfect
One side warm
One side afraid
We’ll tie you to our tilted star
With every vow we never made (yeah…)
[Pre-Chorus]
High Twin:
Do you feel it?
The staircase shaking when we breathe
Deep Twin:
Every step you take
Is a stitch that ties you here with me
Both:
You call it madness
We call it family
[Chorus]
Both:
Welcome to our mirror-heart wonderland
Alice
Where every wish cuts twice
But we’ll hold your hand (so tight)
We’ll lay the whole wide world at your bare white feet
If you promise
If you promise not to leave
Deep Twin:
We’ll bend the sky
Make daylight bleed
High Twin:
We’ll turn your doubts to darling little beads
Both:
Little Alice
Say you love the twins
[Bridge]
[Music drops to sparse piano and ticking percussion]
Deep Twin (low, near-whisper):
One kiss for the brother who chills your spine
High Twin (soft, high):
One kiss for the brother who sharpens your smile
Deep Twin:
One heart shared on a silver thread
High Twin:
One word from you
And the whole world begs
Both (overlapping):
“Stay”
Just say “stay”
[Chorus]
Both:
Welcome to our mirror-heart wonderland
Alice
Where every wish cuts twice
But we’ll hold your hand (forever)
We’ll lay the whole wide world at your bare white feet
If you promise
If you promise not to leave
Deep Twin:
We’ll be the wolves that learn your lullabies
High Twin:
We’ll be the storm that softens when you cry
Both:
Little Alice
Little Alice
Little Alice…
Say you love the twins (hey…)
