Bold= Nico
Hey girl, open the walls
Play with your dolls
We'll be a perfect family
But here I am inside this place
Suffocated by your face
I choose to stay cuz I’m too scared of leaving
"Mom, please wake up,
Dad's with a slut,
And your son is smoking cannabis"
Cuz the sound of screams are easier
Than just my thoughts with no one here
But it’s too late, but it’s too late
Nothing works
Places, places, get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Tried to save us but you watched us die
Now we’re locked inside this burning house
You won’t ever let me out
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
I see them as they move their mouths
Saying they’re so happy now
Telling me I’m lucky that I have you
When you turn your back
She pulls out a flask
And forgets his infidelity
But behind closed doors we’re in a war
I don’t know what I did this for
No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens
One day they'll see what goes down in the kitchen
Now I swear we’ll never make it out alive
Cuz we’re tied up in this burning house
Tied up in this burning house
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
Why you gotta be so cruel (Hey girl x7)
Playing in a game to lose
I did everything for you
It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault (bitch)
Hey girl, open your walls, play with your dolls
We'll be a perfect family
Now I swear we’ll never make it out alive
Cuz we’re tied up in this burning house
Tied up in this burning house
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees (Locked inside this burning house)
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees (You won't ever let us out)
