Perfect Little Mess

[Intro] Mommy said be perfect… I learned to break. [Verse 1] Little hands on plastic hair Dreamed of princes, white horses there Barbie smiled while the world went black Daddy’s hands took the childhood back [Pre-Chorus] They said “be pretty” I said “watch me rot” [Chorus] PERFECT LITTLE MESS, PLASTIC HEART EXPLODES! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, BARBIE OVERDOSE! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, DREAMS IN PIECES NOW! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, WATCH ME BURN THE HOUSE! [Verse 2] Baby Born cried real tears I fed her lies and razorblade fears Promised her a fairy-tale life Gave her a mirror and a knife [Pre-Chorus] They said “be perfect” I said “never again” [Chorus] PERFECT LITTLE MESS, PLASTIC HEART EXPLODES! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, BARBIE OVERDOSE! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, DREAMS IN PIECES NOW! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, WATCH ME BURN THE HOUSE! [Verse 3] Every “good girl” was a chain on my neck Every smile was a loaded gun to my head Mommy’s camera flash still burns my eyes Now I collect the dolls that look like her lies [Bridge] You wanted perfect… I GAVE YOU ME! [Verse 4] Doll heads in a row, all staring back Little plastic queens with their spines cracked They taught me how to smile while I bleed Now I teach them how to never be free [Pre-Chorus] They said “be perfect” I said “watch me reign” [Chorus] PERFECT LITTLE MESS, PLASTIC HEART EXPLODES! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, BARBIE OVERDOSE! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, DREAMS IN PIECES NOW! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, WATCH ME BURN THE HOUSE! [Verse 5] So keep your dreamhouse, keep your prince I’ll keep the crown made of broken hints Every little girl who was told to be small Grew up to be me, queen of it all [Final Chorus] PERFECT LITTLE MESS, CROWN MADE OF LIES! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, WATCH BARBIE DIE! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, PLASTIC QUEEN ALIVE! PERFECT LITTLE MESS, 666 IS MY SIZE! [Outro] Playtime’s over, dolls… goodnight. 🖤🪆💔
