Porcelain Heart - Part 8 🌌🕯️🩸🔥 🎶🖤✨

[Verse 1] Morning light through dusty glass Customers drifting slowly past No one sees the girl inside Frozen where the sinners hide Sunday hats and polished shoes Mothers with their children too All of them just glance and grin At the thing they sealed me in [Pre-Chorus] Flies keep tapping at the pane Like they smell me through the paint And beneath the satin throat Something dead still tries to choke [Chorus] Porcelain heart and hollow chest Black lace stitched across my breast Eyes wide open day and night Praying someone sees the fright Little cracks around my grin Something breathing deep within Stand too close and you might hear A living girl still trapped in here [Verse 2] Shopgirl turned my shoulders straight Dusted off my china face Pinned a brooch above the seam Right where blood used to be warm Children point and call me sweet One pressed gum beneath my feet Old men wink and tip their hats Like I’m not a corpse in black [Pre-Chorus] When the church bell hits at noon I can feel the wires pull Every finger lifts an inch Every jaw resets with clicks [Chorus] Porcelain heart and hollow chest Black lace stitched across my breast Eyes wide open day and night Praying someone sees the fright Little cracks around my grin Something breathing deep within Stand too close and you might hear A living girl still trapped in here [Bridge] After closing, after dark That’s when I can hear them start Wooden heels along the hall Soft and slow outside the wall One by one they turn their heads Whisper names of all the dead Then the tallest says to me, “Smile, they paid to come and see.” [Final Chorus] Porcelain heart and hollow chest Black lace stitched into my flesh Eyes still open, peeled too wide Watching every soul walk by Little cracks split through my skin And all the night comes leaking in If you see me, do not wait Break the glass before I wake [Outro] Morning comes and there I stand Dust upon my folded hands But behind the painted light Something blinks when no one’s by
