[Intro] [Bright happy hardcore synths, distant toy-like chimes, nervous female breathing] Why is it looking back at me? Why does it move so perfectly? My skin says run, my eyes say stay... Something's wrong but I can't say. [Verse 1] The room is candy-colored light, everything should feel alright, but that smile bends a little wide, like it's got teeth it wants to hide. My stomach twists, my fingers shake, a tiny crack in something fake, I hear my heartbeat in my head, like little shoes around my bed. [Pre-Chorus] I don't know words for what I feel, it doesn't look wrong, but not real, and every second standing here turns all my thoughts into a smear. [Chorus] [Fast happy hardcore kick, desperate female vocals] No, no, no, get it away! I don't wanna look but I can't turn away! My chest feels dirty, my brain's on fire, every little blink pulls the wires tighter! Ah! Ah! Something ain't right! Like a broken doll walking into the light! I wanna scream, I wanna cry, I don't know why, I don't know why! [Instrumental] [Euphoric rave lead, chopped vocal fragments, rising panic atmosphere] [Verse 2] Its eyes are shiny, cold and still, a photograph that learned to kill, not with a knife, not with a gun, just standing there and being wrong. My throat feels full of broken glass, I pray this feeling's gonna pass, but every step it takes is clean, too smooth to fit inside the scene. [Pre-Chorus] I bite my lip, I hold my breath, my body thinks it's seeing death, I wish my mouth could find a name, instead of panic, fear and shame. [Chorus] [Layered female vocals, frantic ad-libs] No, no, no, get it away! I don't wanna look but I can't turn away! My chest feels dirty, my brain's on fire, every little blink pulls the wires tighter! Ah! Ah! Something ain't right! Like a broken doll walking into the light! I wanna scream, I wanna cry, I don't know why, I don't know why! [Bridge] [Half-time section, eerie pads, trembling whispered vocals] Maybe it's me... Maybe I'm sick... Maybe the world slipped just a little bit... But if it's normal, then tell me why every bone inside me wants to hide. [Final Chorus] [Maximum energy, soaring happy hardcore synths] No, no, no, get it away! My heart keeps pounding like it's trying to escape! Everything's bright but it feels expired, like a perfect face stretched over wires! Ah! Ah! Something ain't right! Like a dream that forgot how to be alive! I wanna scream, I wanna cry, I still don't know the reason why! [Outro] [Rapid synth arpeggios fading into distant breathing] I don't know why... I don't know why... But please don't smile at me tonight... [Fade out] [End]
