[Intro] Shh... they thought I was sleeping. One, two... they’re coming for you. Three, four... I’m behind the door. [Verse 1] They fed me shadows in a silver spoon Left me howling at a paper moon They tried to lobotomize the light inside Wanted a corpse with nowhere to hide "Be a good girl," "Be a nice boy" Treating my spirit like a broken toy They put my empathy on the chopping block But the blade snapped back—what a sudden shock. [Pre-Chorus] Tick-tick-tock, the clock is bleeding I’m the monster that you’re feeding You tried to bury me in the mud But my kindness is thicker than your blood. [Chorus] Hush little baby, don't you scream I’m the nightmare in your favorite dream You tried to kill my heart, you tried to break my soul But I’m the one in charge, I’m in total control! Yeah, you hate that I’m still sweet While I’m dancing on your defeat Go ahead, try to dim my shine The dark and the twisted? It’s all mine! [Verse 2] You mistook my silence for a white flag Now you’re left holding an empty bag I’m "mentally twisted"? Yeah, maybe so But I’ve got a garden where the roses grow In the middle of the carnage, in the middle of the hate I kept my halo, but I sharpened the plate You wanted a villain? You wanted a ghost? Well, here’s a big "Fuck You" and a victory toast! [Bridge] Rain, rain, go away... Or stay and watch me start to play. You couldn't kill the kindness, you couldn't kill the grace Now look at the fear written all over your face. I'm still here! [Chorus] Hush little baby, don't you scream I’m the nightmare in your favorite dream You tried to kill my heart, you tried to break my soul But I’m the one in charge, I’m in total control! Yeah, you hate that I’m still sweet While I’m dancing on your defeat Go ahead, try to dim my shine The dark and the twisted? It’s all mine! [Outro] You tried so hard to make me bitter. But I’m a diamond in the litter. Sweet dreams... ...Bitch.
