[Verse 1]
Lanterns like captive moons hang low, braided light in silk and smoke [bell motif]
Paper eyes blink secrets—sequined lies that glitter then they choke
Confetti falls like broken glitter glass, a comet thorn across my cheek
I grin with candy teeth, a sugar blade—sweet and terrible and sleek [staccato synths]
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers braid like ribboned knives, low hum beneath the dress
Cute voice laces lullabies, the other counts the mess
A heartbeat skips, then drums—chaos beneath my ribs
Two names in one pocket, one hand that pulls, one that gives
[Chorus]
Glitter, chaos—kiss and bite (Play me, combust!)
Prom-night sparks, we steal the light (Play me, combust!)
Dual hearts snap, then charm prevails—soft teeth, hard tails
Glitter, chaos—kiss and bite (Play me, combust!)
[Verse 2]
Silk-fire corsage at my throat—petals burn like tiny suns
I wear a borrowed halo, crooked crown, the crown is half undone
Mirror on the ballroom floor shows a pirate and a doll
Cuteness hums a nursery tune while mischief draws the gall
[bell motif, distorted candy-pop textures]
[Pre-Chorus]
Laughter like a fuse, bright and quick, and I learn to strike the match
Sweet voice answers, threads the dark—she ties the knot and pulls the latch
Chaos drums beneath my ribs, a carnival of teeth and floss
Two steps forward, then we spin—one queen of charm, one queen of loss
[Chorus — Variation]
Glitter, chaos—kiss and bite (adlibs: ooh-ah, ahhh)
Prom-night sparks, we steal the light (dark harmony underlay)
Dual hearts snap—then charm prevails (vocal runs: la-la-laaa)
Glitter, chaos—kiss and bite (adlibs: Play me, combust!)
[Instrumental Breakdown — Confetti-Spew]
[staccato synths cut; bells isolate; then candy-pop distorted burst — 8 bar drop]
(Use a confetti cannon moment here; choreography cue: freeze, then explode)
[Bridge — Duet / Switch — Minimal percussion]
[Psycho:] I count the fractures in the glass and stitch them into stars
[Cute:] I hum the stitches softer, braid the scars beneath our hearts
[Psycho:] You wear my mischief like a glittered scarlet ring
[Cute:] I wear your chaos like a lullaby—then pull the string
[Both — overlapping]
We trade a wink, trade teeth for pearls, your shadow tastes like wine
A sudden turn: the girl who smiled just taught the night to bite the line
[Final Chorus — Big, Theatrical]
Glitter, chaos—kiss and bite (all voices, layered)
Prom-night sparks, we steal the light (suspended chords, heavy bass)
Dual hearts snap—then charm prevails (dark harmony, high adlibs)
Glitter, chaos—kiss and bite (final shout: Play me, combust!)
[Outro]
Lanterns like captive moons retreat—confetti glass at our feet
We bow with crooked smiles; chaos curls, cute voice hums the beat
Here where darkness flicks a grin and dawn is dressed in sequins fine
We walk away with pockets full of stars, your laughter threaded into mine [fade with bell motif]
