(Intro - Heavy, distorted bass and breathy vocal)
(Barely audible mumble)
Candy dust... on my tongue...
Hear the hum... goin' numb...
(Verse 1 - whispered vocals, minimal accompaniment)
Sticky fingers, gasoline sheen
Another sugar rush, a vacant queen
Gumball eyes and a plastic smile
Hiding wreckage for a little while
Chasing shadows, blurry light
Pretending everything is alright
(Pre-Chorus - slightly more volume, a hint of melody begins to emerge)
This saccharine sweetness, a dangerous high
Keeps the black dog quiet, beneath my eye
But the crash is comin', the whispers begin
This plastic paradise, paper-thin
(Chorus)(heavier bass, subtle synth pad)
Candy and whine, that's my sign
Sugar-coated static, all intertwined
Melting down slow, watch the colors bleed
A pretty little monster, planted a seed
Of discontent, a bitter taste
This manufactured happiness, a goddamn waste
(Verse 2 - returning to whispered vocals, a clock ticking sound effect in the background)
Empty wrappers, scattered on the floor
Another episode, closing the door
Swirling colors, in a dizzy haze
Lost in the labyrinth, of these empty days
You said it's easy, just swallow it down
But the sugar burns deep, and wears the crown
(Pre-Chorus - slightly more volume, a hint of melody begins to emerge)
This saccharine sweetness, a dangerous high
Keeps the black dog quiet, beneath my eye
But the crash is comin', the whispers begin
This plastic paradise, paper-thin
(Chorus)(heavier bass, subtle synth pad)
Candy and whine, that's my sign
Sugar-coated static, all intertwined
Melting down slow, watch the colors bleed
A pretty little monster, planted a seed
Of discontent, a bitter taste
This manufactured happiness, a goddamn waste
(Bridge - stripped down, only a heartbeat-like bass drum and layered, distorted vocals)
Whine... a subtle vibration
(Echoed) ...ration...
Candy... cover the decay
(Echoed) ...decay...
Lost in the sweetness
(Echoed) ...sweetness...
No salvation
(Chorus - slightly more desperate, with raw emotion in the voice. The bass is heavier, almost overwhelming)
Candy and whine, that's my sign
Sugar-coated static, all intertwined
Melting down slow, watch the colors bleed
A pretty little monster, planted a seed
Of discontent, a bitter taste
This manufactured happiness, a goddamn waste
(Outro - fading out, with heavily processed vocals and a lingering bass note)
Waste...
Candy... Whine...
Just a waste....
(Silence)
