Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [unison male chant] La de da da. la de da da. Laaaa laa laaa 2x [Verse 1] They roll you out when the curtains rise Polished teeth and perfect eyes Every movement timed to breathe So no one sees what’s underneath Spotlight cuts across your face Like you were built to be displayed They clap before you even talk— Just a puppet they can mock [Pre-Chorus] And I know they’d never let you fall Not where they could see it all They’ll spin the truth to make it kind, And leave the worst of you behind… (la de da daa) [Chorus] Just a perfect girl that’s half alive (ALIVE!) Spin you slow beneath the lights (THESE LIGHTS!) They dress you up in silver thoughts Hang your heart where it’s forgot… Every cheer just turns the key (THE KEY!) Locks you deeper where they see (THEY SEE!) Something pretty they can watch— the girl inside the glass box [Verse 2] They taught you how to walk the line Heel to toe and always shine Never break, and never slip Never let the mask unclip They don’t want you thinking loud They just want to draw a crowd Keep you safe behind the glass— Until the stage finally collapse [Pre-Chorus] And I hate the way they call your name, just a face that they can arrange, Every cheer feels cold and staged— Like you’re trapped inside a cage… (la de da daa) [Chorus] Just a perfect girl that’s half alive (ALIVE!) Spin you slow beneath the lights (THESE LIGHTS!) They dress you up in silver thoughts Hang your heart where it’s forgot… Every cheer just turns the key (THE KEY!) Locks you deeper where they see (THEY SEE!) Something pretty they can watch— the girl inside the glass box (La de da la de da. Laaaa laa laaa) [Bridge] If I break the case tonight Would you run and find the light? Would you crumble without the stage? Or finally step outside the cage? Would you know which voice is yours If it’s not what they adore? If the show was finally lost— Would you still be who you’re not? [Alternate Chorus] They can keep the diamond locks And the dance that never stops You were never meant to be A musical doll turned by a key Let them scream for someone else (SOMEONE ELSE!) Pick a different toy on the shelf (THE SHELF!) You’re not made for being watched— Not the girl inside the glass box [Outro] No one sees you when you stop (La de da la de da) When the curtain finally drops (La de da la de da) All they loved was what you’re not— the girl inside the glass box. (La de da la de da. Laaaa laa laaa)
