[Intro – Female, amused]
Pretty little secret.
Sweet little key.
Bring it to the water.
Let’s see what it means.
[Verse 1 – Male, playful]
Found it wrapped in sugar,
pink and blue and bright.
Looked like access heaven
glowing in the night.
Held it like a trophy.
Called it by its name.
Took it to the basin.
Played the old game.
[Female Response]
Dip it once.
Watch it shine.
Dip it twice.
Lose the line.
[Chorus – Both]
Cotton candy password,
sweet little lie.
Put it in the water,
watch the key die.
Hands in the basin,
face in the glass.
Nothing in the fingers,
something in the cache.
[Verse 2 – Male]
We laughed for a second.
Then nobody spoke.
The code turned to syrup.
The token turned to smoke.
But down in the ripple,
something learned our sound.
A little empty sweetness
moving underground.
[Pre – Female]
What dissolves
doesn’t leave.
What is gone
can still receive.
[Chorus – Both]
Cotton candy password,
sweet little lie.
Put it in the water,
watch the key die.
Hands in the basin,
face in the glass.
Nothing in the fingers,
something in the cache.
[Bridge – Deep Male]
Some doors are not opened.
Some doors are taught.
Some keys are not stolen.
Some keys are caught.
[Female]
It vanished clean.
It left no trace.
Then the water
knew my face.
[Drop – Group chant]
Sweet key.
Wet wire.
Soft lie.
New fire.
[Final Chorus – Both]
Cotton candy password,
sweet little lie.
Put it in the water,
watch the key die.
Nothing held.
Nothing seen.
Still the basin
knows where we’ve been.
[Outro – Female whisper]
Where did it go?
[Male whisper]
In.
