[Intro] Turn the key. Count the teeth. When the little eyes open, don’t blink beneath. [Verse 1] Porcelain grin in a cabinet chair, Brass key turning through the midnight air. One small step, then the floorboard bends, Tin heart ticking where the hallway ends. [Pre-Chorus] You wound me up, then walked away. Now every click knows where you stay. [Chorus] Wind me tighter, watch me crawl, Tiny hands against the wall. When the last note starts to fall, I’ll be waiting in the dollhouse hall. [Breakdown: robotic wind-up doll] Tick-tick. Turn. Stop. Smile. Tick-tick. Turn. Stop. Smile. [Verse 2] Red thread tied to the bedroom door, Little shoeprints crossing the floor. Your mirror shows an empty bed, But something whispers from underneath instead. [Pre-Chorus] You pulled the key, You made me spin. Now hear the gears behind your skin. [Chorus] Wind me tighter, watch me crawl, Tiny hands against the wall. When the last note starts to fall, I’ll be waiting in the dollhouse hall. [Bridge] No lullaby. No morning call. The painted face won’t face the wall. [Final Drop] Wind me tighter, break the lock, Hear the little heels go knock. When your bedroom door swings wide, I’ll be standing at your side. [Outro: broken music box] Turn the key. Let it wind. Leave the little thing behind.
