[Verse] Ten little hearts in the front row stare Clip my strings, but I’m still right there Silk lace dress and a wicked grin I pull your gaze, now I pull you in Spotlight hits like a guillotine kiss Perfect smile with a bone-deep hiss You clap, you cheer, you call my name But devotion always has a price to pay Step closer now and breathe real slow I’m choosing you next — now don’t let go [Chorus] Dollhouse, dollhouse, welcome inside I stitch your voice to the back of my mind Dance for me now, you’re part of the show Strings on your wrists and nowhere to go Pretty little toy with a heartbeat still Smile for me, love — bend to my will [Verse] Candy-sweet lights and a velvet stage Painted eyes hide a quiet rage Marionette queen with a hunger grin Golden chains pull you deeper in You wanted fame, you wanted touch You wanted love that burns too much Now you sway when I say, move when I call I don’t break hearts — I collect them all A perfect chorus made of stolen breath Beauty rehearsed right down to death [Chorus] Dollhouse, dollhouse, welcome inside I stitch your voice to the back of my mind Dance for me now, you’re part of the show Strings on your wrists and nowhere to go Pretty little toy with a heartbeat still Smile for me, love — bend to my will [Verse] Black lace halo, crown of glass You follow close like shadow cast Every step is mine to choose Your freedom was the price you lose Twirl, bow, hush, stay We dance night into day No escape once I say play You belong to me this way [Bridge] Line up pretty in a velvet row Paper skin with a porcelain glow Laughter ringing like a music box chime Every heartbeat ticking right on time Pull your strings, tighten, spin Dance begins, again, again Love me, worship, don’t you stray Your will is mine, I paved the way Welcome home to the stage divine Your soul is stitched to the shape of mine [Outro] Curtain falls, but the show goes on You’ll keep dancing even when I’m gone No release, no second chance Only strings and endless dance Eyes that shine with borrowed light Smile painted perfectly white Audience hushes, new ones wait We always need another face Step on stage and hold your breath You’ll belong to me next
