[2 Female Singers]
[Voice 1: Lia — airy, delicate female vocals]
[Voice 2: Vani — low, dreamy female vocals]
[Intro: eerie synth, ticking clock, distant breaths]
[Lia: whispered]
There's someone in the wall.
[Vani: low]
She's trying to breathe.
[Verse 1: Lia, sweet and unsettling]
Paper roses, painted smiles
We've been pretty all this while
Found a room behind the stairs
Full of secrets, bottled prayers
Every tear I couldn't cry
Every time I said I'm fine
Little lungs of porcelain
Holding all I kept within
[Verse 2: Vani, rhythmic and hypnotic]
Blue ribbons around my throat
Pretty words in a pretty note
They said silence looks like grace
So I learned to hide my face
Now the water's at my knees
Hear the walls whispering
Every girl who disappeared
Left a little heartbeat here
[Pre-Chorus: alternating, rising tension]
[Lia]
Why does crying feel like stealing?
[Vani]
Why does silence feel like home?
[Lia]
If I show you what I'm feeling...
[Vani]
You won't have to be alone.
[Chorus: heavy bass, tight duet harmonies]
[Both]
Porcelain lungs, porcelain lungs
Pretty little lies on our tongues
Hold your breath and count to three
Look what you have done to me
[Lia]
If I break, will you still love me?
[Vani]
Every shattered part of you
[Both]
Let the whole house hear us breathing
I am here, and so are you
[Post-Chorus: hypnotic vocal layers]
[Lia]
Breathe in...
[Vani]
Breathe out...
[Both: whispered]
Pretty girls don't make a sound
[Beat cuts]
[Vani]
Then let them hear us now.
[Dance break: distorted breaths, pulsing bass]
[Verse 3: alternating]
[Vani]
I found my anger in a drawer
[Lia]
My broken dreams beneath the floor
[Vani]
A hundred voices in the walls
[Lia]
And every single one still calls
[Both]
We're not the dolls you thought you made
We're not the girls who learned to stay
[Bridge: all instruments stop]
[Vani: bare vocal]
I'm angry.
[Lia]
I'm afraid.
[Vani]
I hate the girl they made me play.
[Lia]
I miss the girl I used to be.
[Vani]
She's standing right in front of me.
[Both: fragile harmony]
We don't have to whisper anymore.
[Final Chorus: explosive bass, soaring duet]
[Both]
Porcelain lungs, porcelain lungs
Hear the voices of the young
All the words we couldn't say
Are breaking through the walls today
[Lia: soaring]
If I break, will you still love me?
[Vani: powerful]
Every shattered part of you!
[Both]
Let the whole house hear us breathing
We have nothing left to prove!
[Outro: cracking porcelain, rushing water]
[Female choir: distant]
Ah... ah...
[Lia: whispered]
Vani... the walls are crying.
[Vani]
No. That's the ocean.
[One enormous crack. Silence.]
