Doll on the Shelf

[Intro]
Silent in the shadows, waiting for your call
A fragile piece of porcelain, crafted to enthrall

[Verse 1]
You think I’m your doll, something you can pull off the shelf
To fill your empty space, to satisfy yourself
But I’m more than just a toy, more than just a game
Hidden beneath the surface, feeling all the shame

[Pre-Chorus]
You hold me so close, then you let me go
Casting me aside, in the silence I know

[Chorus]
On a shelf still and quiet, watching the pretend
A mirror not yours, a story without end
Characters lined up waiting to be called
Your doll on the shelf, trapped behind the wall

[Verse 2]
Every touch feels so real, yet it’s just a fleeting dream
But I'm just your toy, filled with  hollow screams
You place me back in silence, where I only watch
Living in a quiet prison, behind your facade at any cost

[Pre-Chorus]
You hold me so close, then you let me go
Casting me aside, in the silence I know

[Chorus]
On a shelf still and quiet, watching the pretend
A mirror not yours, a story without end
Characters lined up waiting to be called
Your doll on the shelf, trapped behind the wall

[Bridge]
Do you see the tears behind my porcelain eyes?
Hidden in the quiet, where my true pain lies?
You play your games, then forget my name
A silent witness, caught in your hollow frame

[Outro]
So I’ll sit here, still and quiet, watching everything fade
A doll forgotten, behind the shadow’s cascade
