Cotton candy sweet, little skies

I’m caught up in your lies

Look me in my eyes

Tell me that I’m as sweet as you perceived me to be

Before the beat drops and you finally see

The sugar rush is fading, the color’s running clear

A different kind of vibration is humming in my ear

Your fantasy is melting under these strobe lights

I’m not just a daydream for your lonely nights

(Pre-Chorus)

The bass is building, a furious sound

Shaking the illusions down to the ground

So look up now, the drop is near

Time to taste the truth, is that a fear?

I see it in your eyes

(Chorus)

COTTON CANDY SWEET! (Vocal Chop Glitch)

I’m caught up, I’m caught up in your LIES!

LOOK ME IN MY EYES!

Tell me I’m the sweet you want me to be!

As the synth tears through the air, wild and free!

Is it sweet enough? Is it a tasty bite?

Or does the truth just kill the light?

COTTON CANDY SWEET! (Melody soars)

But I’m the bass that knocks you off your feet!

(

Tell me to my face...

Who do you see...

In the flashing dark...

Between you and me...

(Verse 2)

The fiction you wrote was a beautiful sound

But it’s shattering now on this hallowed ground

Where the only truth is the rhythm and heat

The pounding of my heart, not a fantasy sweet

I’m crystalline, I’m sharp, I’m electric and real

A feeling you can’t package, a sensation you can’t steal

So keep your little skies, your pastel pretend

This is where the fairy tale ends

(Pre-Chorus)

The bass is building, a furious sound

Shaking the illusions down to the ground

So look up now, the drop is near

Time to taste the truth, is that a fear?

I see it in your eyes

(Chorus)

COTTON CANDY SWEET! (Vocal Chop Glitch)

I’m caught up, I’m caught up in your LIES!

LOOK ME IN MY EYES!

Tell me I’m the sweet you want me to be!

As the synth tears through the air, wild and free!

Is it sweet enough? Is it a tasty bite?

Or does the truth just kill the light?

COTTON CANDY SWEET! (Melody soars)

But I’m the bass that knocks you off your feet!

(Bridge)

(Music pulls back slightly, beat becomes more minimal, rhythmic chanting)

Am I enough? Am I too much?

Your candy floss can’t hide the rush

Of something real! Something true!

Something built for me and you!

Forget the lie! Forget the spin!

Let the real world take us in!

NOW LOOK ME IN MY EYES!

(Final Chorus / Outro)

COTTON CANDY SWEET!

I’M CAUGHT UP IN YOUR LIES!

LOOK ME IN MY EYES!

Tell me that I’m the sweet… you perceived…

...ceived...

...ceived...

Silence.
