[INTRO – WHISPERED / DREAMY] Once upon a time… They called me Cinderella. [LAUGHTER BUILDS FROM A QUIET GIGGLE INTO WILD, UNHINGED HYSTERIA] Ha… Ha… HA! HA! HA! HAHAHAHA! ⸻ [VERSE 1 – SOFT / DREAMY] No crown upon my messy hair, No golden throne, no prince to share. Just plastic pearls and dreams of gold, A fairytale I’ve never told. I dream of towers in the sky, A prince who sees me passing by. A castle shining, bright and tall— One day I’ll have it all. My stepsisters came dancing through, A golden invitation in view. I read the words, my heartbeat grew: Soup at noon. Chicken stew. ⸻ [CHORUS] I built a castle in my head, Put a crown upon my bed, Found a prince in shades of white— What a perfect wedding night! CINDER-HELL! [WILD, UNHINGED, HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER] Ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha! If this is madness, let it swell, I’d rather dance inside my spell! CINDER-HELL! [WILD, UNHINGED, HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER] Ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ring the bells and wish me well— Welcome to my Cinder-Hell! ⸻ [VERSE 2 – DREAMY → UNHINGED] The evening came, the music played, The hallway shimmered, colors changed. And there he stood beneath the light— My Prince Charming, dressed in white. He took my hand, the room spun round, The strangest dancers filled the ground. A cardboard crown fell from the wall— Perhaps this wasn’t a royal ball. The lights burned red, the laughter grew, A little more than I once knew. I whispered softly, “What the hell?” [QUIET GIGGLE] Ha… Ha… Welcome to Cinder-Hell. ⸻ [SHORT CHORUS – GLITCHED] I built a castle in my— Head. Put a crown upon my— Bed. Found a prince in shades of— White— What a perfect— Wedding night? CINDER-HELL! [LAUGHTER GLITCHES, STUTTERS AND ECHOES] Ha—ha— Ha—ha— HA! Ha! Ha-ha-ha! ⸻ [BRIDGE – REALITY BREAKING] Eleven fifty-nine… The castle starts to lose its shine. Twelve o’clock— The music stops. [DIGITAL GLITCH / SUDDEN SILENCE] Wait… [FINAL REVEAL – QUIET / REALIZATION] Oh… Ha… It was all in my head !!! ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS – MANIC] I built a castle in my head, Put a crown upon my bed, Found a prince in shades of white— [LAUGHTER] Maybe none of it was real. CINDER-HELL! [WILD, UNHINGED HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER] HA! HA! HA! HAHAHAHAHA! [ABRUPT SILENCE]
