My Land of Sweets by Nova

[Intro – bright glittering synths + distant city hum] Mmm… They said I’d get lost in the sugar… Guess I did. [Verse 1] Queen Clara pulled me out the sky, said “You’ve watched enough, now come and try.” Gave me keys to a kingdom made of light, told me I could have whatever I like. Now the streets are dripping pink and gold, every corner got a story to be told… I used to float above it all for years, now I’m down here tasting all my fears. [Pre-Chorus] They call it Luminora, land of sweets, but baby this shit got teeth… And I’m smiling with mine out. [Chorus] This is my land of sweets, where the lights don’t ever sleep… Where the sugar hits different at night, and the dreams don’t ask if you’re ready to bite. My land of sweets, where I finally get to be… Not the girl on the rock watching it spin, but the one who decided to jump in. [Verse 2] Loreli keeps telling me “slow down, sis,” but she’s the one who taught me how to exist… Jewel’s got her shield up like “Nova, behave,” while Taida’s in the back seat yelling “go faster, babe.” Gem’s probably somewhere reading the stars, trying to calculate how long this’ll last… But I’m not trying to make it make sense, I’m just trying to feel everything at once. [Pre-Chorus] They said too much sweetness could rot you, but I’ve been empty for so long… Let it rot me then. [Chorus] This is my land of sweets, where the rules don’t apply to me… Where the colors get violent and loud, and the night tastes better than anything I’ve found. My land of sweets, where I stopped being the dream… And finally became the one who gets to wake up inside of everything. [Bridge – stripped for a moment, then explodes] I spent centuries just watching hearts break, watching people fall in love and then fade… Now the city’s screaming my name in the rain, and for once I don’t feel like running away. [Final Chorus – bigger, more unhinged but still emotional] This is my land of sweets, and I’m not going back to sleep… Not when the lights are this loud and alive, not when I finally learned how to drive. My land of sweets… Yeah, it might kill me one day… But at least I’ll go out glowing, instead of fading away. [Outro – bright synths fading into distant city noise] Mmm… Queen Clara said I could have anything… Guess I took her literally.j
