[Verse 1 - Ethereal/Breathy Vocals]
The lace on the windowpane is dusted just so
A silent, slow-motion bloom where the light won't go
The porcelain crack in the sink, I count it every night
It’s a perfect, frozen fracture in the perfect, dead white.
Yeah, everything is anchored, everything is still
Just the heavy, sweet, dead air that I’m trying hard to fill.
[Pre-Chorus - Building Intensity]
I trace the edge of the memory, right here on your throat
A quiet, silver promise that I never should have wrote.
The silence is a pressure, heavy on my skin
**[Whisper]**
Come closer now, come closer... let me let the darkness in.
[Chorus - Explosive / Abrasive Sound]
I want to BREAK THE GLASS! Tear down the Quaint!
This perfect little prison—it Starves me! I can't breathe!
It’s all just velvet and violence, sewn into the seams!
Crush the Picture on the mantelpiece! WAKE ME UP from these dead dreams!
[Screamed]
Quaint
Quaint
[Verse 2 - Dreamlike/Melodic Vocals]
The carpet is patterned deep, I could drown in the weave
I wait for the sound of your key, a comfort I can't believe.
The shadow of the fern plant, it looks just like your hand
A slow, creeping geometry I’ll never understand.
The neighbors wave their perfect waves, their smiles are paper thin
They don't know the ugly friction of the space we're standing in.
[Bridge - Moody and Seductive]
This calm, it is a lie—a beautiful, low-voltage wire
You touch it when you sleep, and I feed the hidden fire.
The way the light reflects off the dust in the air...
It's just a distraction, I know the ROT is everywhere.
**[Breath/Exhale]**
Tell me again you love the quiet here...
[Chorus - Explosive / Abrasive Sound]
I want to BREAK THE GLASS! Tear down the Quaint
This perfect little prison—it Starves me! I can't breathe!
It’s all just velvet and violence, sewn into the seams!
Crush the Picture on the mantelpiece! WAKE ME UP from these dead dreams!
[Screamed]
Quaint!!
Quaint
