[Intro] Hehe… She doesn’t need gold. She needs shiny. [Verse 1] There’s a goblin in the alley with a sack full of maybe, Poking through the garbage like it’s buried treasure lately, One eye on the glitter, one hand in the grime, Humming to herself like she’s got all the time. Bottle caps and buttons, a bent little spoon, A mirror shard that caught the light of the moon, She holds it up and giggles, pockets it with care, Another piece of treasure only she would dare. [Pre-Chorus] Doesn’t matter if it’s broken, Doesn’t matter if it’s old, If it catches just a little light It’s worthy of the hoard. [Chorus] Tentacles Hoard, shiny and strange, Collected from the corners no one else would claim, One more scrap, one more gleam, She’s building a kingdom out of discarded dreams. Tentacles Hoard, messy and bright, She digs through the trash in the dead of the night, Doesn’t need a dragon’s cave or a pirate’s chest… Just whatever sparkles best. [Verse 2] She’s got a nest in the rafters lined with foil and string, A crown made of twist-ties and a necklace of rings, Every piece has a story only she understands, Every dent and every scratch is a mark of her hands. People walk past the dumpsters and turn up their nose, She sees possibility in the things they dispose, A bottle that once held something sweet and forgotten, Now it’s a jewel in a collection hard-won. [Bridge] Hehe… You can keep your clean gold. She’s got better taste. The world throws away So many perfect things. [Final Chorus] Tentacles Hoard, shiny and strange, Collected from the corners no one else would claim, One more scrap, one more gleam, She’s building a kingdom out of discarded dreams. Tentacles Hoard, messy and bright, She digs through the trash in the dead of the night, Doesn’t need a dragon’s cave or a pirate’s chest… Just whatever sparkles best. [Outro] Hehe… Another bottle cap. Another little win. The hoard grows. And so does she.
