(Verse 1) Burning house — she’s coughing on the smoke Flames grew deep every time that she spoke Heat so wild, water turned into steam Pretty little nightmare trapped in someone else’s dream Pain in her eyes but her face stays plain Disconnected words spilling straight from her brain Subconsciously she’s plotting like a mastermind If you saw her point-of-view you’d realign (Pre-Hook) Pretty hurts, pretty bleeds, pretty plays the part Pretty’s just a bruise stamped over her heart (Hook) Burning house — and she never screamed Matches keep striking in a smoky fever dream Scars like debris from a storm-drowned street Tried to sweep it clean but she’s stuck on repeat Burning house — but she keeps the beat Dancing through fire like the heat tastes sweet (Verse 2) Beatings on beatings — skin black and blue Tears on her cheeks turn grey on cue Little hands in the dirt when the yelling was through Ran out the room with nothing to prove Tried to tell mommy ‘bout the monster upstairs But mommy got locked in her own nightmares Every time she spoke it hit like a hammer Daddy lit the flames and they both got slammer’d (Pre-Hook 2) She learned young what nobody said out loud Silence is a weapon when the pain draws a crowd (Hook 2) Burning house — and she never screamed Matches keep striking in a smoky fever dream Scars like debris from a storm-drowned street Tried to sweep it clean but she’s stuck on repeat Burning house — but she keeps the beat Dancing through fire like the heat tastes sweet (Bridge — clever, bratty, poetic) Oh she grew fangs in the flicker of light Turned pain into armor and hell into spite If ashes could talk they’d say she survived If flames had a voice they’d say she’s alive (Outro — cinematic) Pretty don’t heal, but pretty can fight Burned down the house just to step into light Pretty ain’t fragile — pretty’s divine Pretty’s a phoenix disguised as a crime
