Verse 1 – extended]
Wake up, paint a plastic smile again
Mirror cracked, but they just call it "trend"
Lashes thick, emotions paper-thin
Heels too high to ever let me win
Skip breakfast, count the likes instead
“Perfect girls don’t cry,” that’s what they said
My room's a stage, my life's on cue
I dream in filters, blush, and blue
Can’t eat too loud, can’t speak too fast
Can’t let them know I’m breaking glass
The silence screams behind the screen
But I keep shining — high-gloss sheen
[Pre-Chorus]
I fake my laugh in time
I breathe to stay in line
Don't blink, don’t break, don’t let it show
I’m one wrong move from overflow
[Chorus]
But I got blood beneath this synthetic skin
Heartbeats hiding where the silence begins
They shine so bright but I burn within
In a world of wires, I'm paper-thin
Don’t let them see, don’t let them know
Hold your breath and play the role
Verse 2 – extended]
Every blink’s rehearsed, each word is staged
Smiles are currency inside this cage
They call it “pretty” when I disappear
Drown my voice in candy cheer
Syrup words, robotic grace
No mess allowed, no out-of-place
"Don’t question why, just fall in line"
And sell your soul for one more shine
Click-click-click – perfection posts
While I haunt my dreams like a glitching ghost
Screaming inside, but soft outside
Like broken dolls too sad to cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Step right, spin left, rehearse the lie
My tears dry quicker than their "hi"
Still hear the scream behind my grin
But perfect people never sin
[Chorus – repeat, bigger instrumentation]
But I got blood beneath this synthetic skin
Heartbeats hiding where the silence begins
They shine so bright but I burn within
In a world of wires, I'm paper-thin
Don’t let them see, don’t let them know
Hold your breath and play the role
[Final Chorus – flüsternd beginnend, dann ausbrechend]
But I got blood beneath this synthetic skin
Heartbeats hiding where the silence begins
They shine so bright but I burn within
In a world of wires... I’M PAPER-THIN!!!
🔊 (← GESCHRIEN – Musik bricht auf, alles explodiert, fast Distortion-mäßig)
DON’T LET THEM SEE!!! DON’T LET THEM KNOW!!!
HOLD YOUR BREATH AND PLAY THE ROLE!!!
💥💥💥 *Alles kracht, wie ein Porzellanteller auf Stein. Sound: glass shattering, alles fällt in sich zusammen 💥💥💥
[Bridge – mystisch, ruhig, dreamy, fast wie unter Wasser]
I float through pieces of my face
No need to rush, no need to chase
The silence wraps me like a song
For once, it’s fine to not belong
🍬 Outro – zuckersüß, wie ein Kinderlied fast, aber mit bittersüßer Note:[Outro – leise, leicht verzerrte Stimme, wie aus einer Spieluhr]
Smile on.
Step in time.
Be perfect.
Pretend fine.
(leichter Seufzer, wie ein letzter Atemzug)
...good girls never glitch.
