Graveyard Dollhouse (Alt-Metal)

INTRO (cold ambient + degraded music box, tape wobble, static bleed) (Ooh… fading clean vocal, distant) I was light in a grave of sound… VERSE 1 (tight alt-metal, rhythmic, controlled tension) Pink bone sky over rusted gates I wear the glitter like sharpened fate Porcelain skin with a fracture line Still smiling like I’m doing fine Snap snap—hear the iron ring Dust in my lungs but I still sing Call me holy, call me whole Something hollowed out my soul PRE-CHORUS (rising, layered, unstable harmony) If it glows, it’s already dead Don’t look down, don’t look back We were never built to last CHORUS (STACKED FEMALE VOCAL CHANT - RAW / UNISON / ANTHEMIC) ALL STACKED FEMALE VOCALS (full power, chant delivery): LIVING IN A GRAVEYARD WORLD! BREAK IT DOWN! BREAK IT DOWN! LIVING IN A GRAVEYARD WORLD! NO LIGHT LEFT! NO SOUND! (Vocal drive comes in underneath, melodic but heavy) Dress me in decay and flame I still shine but not the same Buried deeper in my name ALL: AND I STILL ANSWER ANYWAY… VERSE 2 (darker, heavier, more stripped phrasing) Black lace dragging through broken stone I hear my name but not my own Call it chosen, call it cursed Every blessing feels like a hearse Wind me up, I’ll hold the steel Still pretending I can feel Clap for something never real ALL (tight, shouted release): WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL?! PRE-CHORUS 2 (quieter, suffocating tension) Don’t let it show, don’t let it break Keep the face, keep the ache Let it rot, let it wake FINAL CHORUS (maximum weight, bigger stacks, near-break energy) ALL STACKED FEMALE VOCALS (huge, aggressive chant): LIVING IN A GRAVEYARD WORLD! BURN IT DOWN! BURN IT DOWN! LIVING IN A GRAVEYARD WORLD! NO HEART LEFT! NO CROWN! (Vocal lead rises through distortion) Spin me fast until I crack I’m still here but fading black If I’m everything you wanted ALL (final impact, full stack): WHY DO I STILL COME BACK?! OUTRO (collapse / tape decay / ghost signal) I was light… I was light… graveyard… graveyard… nothing lives where I was born… (static + warped music box dissolves)
