[Intro] (Soft humming, distant bird calls, faint whispers)
Hush, my dear, don’t make a sound…
The mockingbird is circling ’round…
Wings of silk, a hollow tune…
Sings for me, and sings for you…
⸻
[Verse 1]
Feathers fall like ashes white
Drifting slow in pale moonlight
Every note a warning cry
Yet I still hum my last goodbye
Tattered lace and shattered wings
A melody that twists and sings
Listen close, it calls your name
But once you hear, you’re never the same
⸻
[Chorus] (Haunting, hypnotic, waltz-like rhythm)
Mockingbird, mockingbird, sing me to sleep
Bury my secrets, where shadows creep
Caged in the branches, whispering low
Tell me, my dear… do you hear it echo?
⸻
[Verse 2]
Footsteps soft on hollow ground
Echoes where no soul is found
I close my eyes, I hear it near
A lullaby of dread and fear
Mirror eyes and twisted beaks
Silhouettes that never speak
Hanging from the window pane
Singing sorrow, singing pain
⸻
[Chorus] (More intense, layered vocals, echoing harmonies)
Mockingbird, mockingbird, sing me to sleep
Bury my secrets, where shadows creep
Caged in the branches, whispering low
Tell me, my dear… do you hear it echo?
⸻
[Bridge] (Dissonant, breaking, like a music box winding down)
Tick… tock… feathers drop…
Night won’t end, the song won’t stop…
Hush now, child, don’t make a sound…
The mockingbird is circling round…
(Music fades to a distant, warped melody… then silence.)
