[Intro – whispering, playful and haunting]
Hush now, darling, the dolls are awake
Count your sheep, but none are fake
La-la-la-la… can’t you hear them sing?
⸻
[Verse 1]
I live in a world made of sugar and screen
With nightmares stitched into every seam
Kids scream lullabies from neon cribs
While I sip static through paper-thin lips
Tape my eyes open—force the scene
Swallowed by a world too squeaky clean
They paint their truths in pastel lies
While I decay behind these perfect smiles
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – glitchy vocals with slight distortion]
Don’t look too close, the glitter bleeds
They only smile when someone screams
I tried to care, I tried to play
But I’m the monster they can’t fake
⸻
[Chorus – powerful and eerie, layered vocals]
I won’t fake it, I’ll just make it on my own (on my own)
Candy-colored corpses dancing on my throne (on my throne)
I won’t fake it, I’m the glitch inside your song
Watch me smile while I sing along
La-la-la, la-la-la
I’ll never sing along
La-la-la, la-la-la
I’ll never sing along
⸻
[Verse 2]
There’s fire crawling through my nursery walls
But it’s so bright, I forget to crawl
My pockets full of clovers, burned
While daydreams rot and lullabies churn
Devils dressed in ribbon and gold
Tellin’ me I’m too bold, too cold
But I see through the filtered glare
Every mask cracked by a dead-eyed stare
⸻
[Bridge – spoken word breakdown, layered whispers, building intensity]
Stupid’s in the air, floating like perfume
Everyone’s a prophet when they fill a room
But I’ve read their lyrics, I’ve seen the script
I’d rather burn the stage than bite my lips
So hush now, darling, sip your fear
I’m the echo they don’t want to hear
⸻
[Final Chorus – defiant and cinematic]
I won’t fake it, I’ll just break it on my own (on my own)
Daisy chains and drones won’t steal my throne (my throne)
I won’t fake it, I’m the voice inside your phone
The static hum when you’re alone
La-la-la, la-la-la
I’ll never sing along
La-la-la, la-la-la
I’ll never sing along
La-la-la, la-la-la
My world’s too bright—
But that’s alright…
Hush.
⸻
End – abrupt cut with mechanical click, children’s laughter fades into silence.
