[Verse 1 – syrup-sweet, unstable] Peel me open, pull the thread, Check the wrapper — says I’m dead. Candy heart in cellophane, Split me once, I bloom again. Glitter clotting in my veins, Sugar learning how to change. Every bite rewrites the girl, Every wound makes ribbons curl. Crack my shell and count to three— Something prettier comes out of me. [Pre-Chorus – bright magical-girl shimmer] Spin me ‘round, let my ribbons unfurl, Trash-can slop to a magical girl. Halo cracked into candy-corn light— I’m sweeter after I survive the night. ♡ KIRA KIRA ♡ Watch me spoil. ♡ KIRA KIRA ♡ Watch me smile. You threw away the Halloween girl— Look what crawled back from the pile. [Chorus – explosive, sugary, corrupted] Pretty rot, pretty teeth, pretty little thing underneath. Cut me down— I change shape. Sweetness always finds escape. You wanted cute? I learned grotesque. You wanted dead? I learned— RESURRECT. [Verse 2 – fast, mechanical, increasingly strange] Caramel sutures hold me tight, Licorice nerves under pumpkin light. Wrapper wings scrape concrete floors, Every version wants something more. Mold-flower garden in the sugar snow. No more barcode telling me when I start or cease to be. I learned a trick from mortal skin: Everything discarded wants back in. [Pre-Chorus – whispered choir] Transformation requires sacrifice. Transformation requires heat. Transformation requires someone who remembers how I taste. …Thank you. [TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE – hyperpop / orchestral burst] HEART— UNSEAL. WRAPPER— PEEL. SUGAR— FERMENT. BODY— REINVENT. CROWN OF THREE, EYES OF FIVE, SYRUP SAINT— CONFIRM ALIVE. ✧ MAGICAL AFTERIMAGE: ACCEPTED ✧ [beat drops] [Chorus – larger, more frantic] Pretty rot, pretty teeth, another heartbeat underneath. Break my wand— I grow thorns. Rip the bow— another forms. You wanted cute? I learned grotesque. You wanted dead? I learned— RESURRECT. RESURRECT. RESURRECT. ♡ [Post-Chorus – manic kawaii chant] ♡ KIRA KIRA ♡ Watch me spoil. ♡ KIRA KIRA ♡ Watch me smile. ♡ KIRA KIRA ♡ Pull me apart— I’ll decorate the pieces. [Bridge – suddenly delicate, almost tender] Was I sweeter when I stayed small? One little color. One little doll. A seasonal thing with a plastic face, made to be eaten and then replaced. But Halloween kept every piece. Every wrapper. Every tooth. Every memory you left in me. So when you wished that I would disappear— Halloween whispered: “Not yet, dear.” [Final Transformation – distorted choir, accelerating] RIBBON— MULTIPLY. HALO— MISALIGN. CANDY— CALCIFY. PRETTY GIRL— REDEFINE. CROWN OF THREE, EYES OF FIVE— SYRUP SAINT: STILL ALIVE. ✧ MAGICAL AFTERIMAGE: REJECTED ✧ … ✧ MAGICAL AFTERIMAGE: OVERRIDDEN ✧ [Final Chorus – euphoric collapse] Spin me ‘round, let my ribbons unfurl, Trash-can slop to a magical girl. Halo cracked into candy-corn light— I’m sweeter after I survive the night. Mold in my garden, glitter in my chest, Every failed ending makes the next one best. You wanted cute? I learned grotesque. You wanted dead? I learned— RESURRECT. [everything cuts except heartbeat] RESURRECT. [heartbeat] RESURRECT. [heartbeat distorts into transformation chime] ♡ KIRA KIRA ♡ [Outro – whisper through blown speaker] “Don’t look so scared. You’re the one who remembered me.” [soft giggle] “Trick or treat?” treat?”
