Cracked Porcelain

**(Verse 1 - Spoken word, low and menacing, building in intensity)** Babydoll's the name, you won’t forget Etched in broken glass and cigarettes Outside I’m pretty, inside I'm cracked Jagged little shards, poised to attack Little lost lamb, you think you're tough? Honey, I've seen things, I've had enough Of your empty words, your manufactured grin You're hollow inside, where do I begin? **(Chorus - Explodes into a snarl, faster tempo, heavy drums)** Cracked porcelain, that's what I am Judge me all you want, I don’t give a damn I'll rip your soul apart, seam by seam Drown you in a dirty lucid dream Cry, little baby, scream and shout There's no escape, I'll snuff you out! This pretty face is a wicked mask Revenge is sweet, I love to bask! **(Verse 2 - Back to a slightly faster, driving rhythm, vocals become more sung but still raw and abrasive)** Shaved head, cold stare, I see right through Your flimsy lies, your painted hue You think you're safe in your gilded cage? I'll set it ablaze, with white hot rage In this book of hate, I'll write your name In blood and tears, done playing games You pushed me down, now watch me rise A storm of fury before your eyes **(Chorus - Even more intense, faster, with backing vocals that echo and distort like a ghostly choir)** Cracked porcelain, that's what I am Judge me all you want, I don’t give a damn I'll rip your soul apart, seam by seam Drown you in a dirty lucid dream Cry, little baby, scream and shout There's no escape, I'll snuff you out! This pretty face is a wicked mask Revenge is sweet, I love to bask! **(Bridge - Tempo slows again, almost a waltz, vocals become a haunting, operatic wail, like a twisted lullaby. Heavy use of echo and reverb on the vocals.)** Tick-tock, tick-tock, your time is near Can you hear the whispers in your ear? I'm Bloody Mary in the mirror, the writing on the wall The shattered glass, on which you crawl Lacerated and bleeding, accept your fate I cut too deep, it's much too late **(Chorus - All-out sonic assault, fastest tempo yet, vocals become a scream. Backing vocals create a cacophony of noise.)** Cracked porcelain, that's what I am A broken doll with a battle plan I'll rip your world apart, seam by seam Drown you in a dirty lucid dream Scream, little baby, scream and shout There's no escape, I'll snuff you out! This pretty face is a wicked mask Revenge is sweet, a deadly, deadly task! **(Outro - Music fades out with a final, distorted chord and a chilling laugh, then silence.)** You can't break what's already broken. **(Fade Out 10 Seconds)**
