Porcelain Lies

**"PORCELAIN LIES" by Darkstar** **[Intro – Soft hazy lo-fi trap beat, gentle vinyl crackle, delicate reverb guitar like fragile glass chimes]** *(Breathy layered whisper)* I might just die tonight… So I cut the ties… **[Hook – Poppy melodic emo-rap, sweet-but-shattered female vocals, Powfu warmth with Lil Peep ache, layered harmonies]** I might just die tonight, tonight Forgotten flowers fight the light inside my mind Porcelain lies, so I cut the ties Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh… **[Verse 1 – Hazy Lil Peep-style emo-rap flow, numb and drifting, soft trap hi-hats]** Group chat blowing up but the room stays cold Everybody loves me till the story gets old Double-tap hearts on a version that’s fake Smile in the pics but my soul’s on a break They say “you good?” like they care for a while Then ghost when the filter falls off my smile It’s all just a lie It’s all just a lie, it’s all just a lie It’s all just a lie, it’s all just a lie It’s all just a lie, it’s all just a lie It’s all just a lie, it’s all just a lie It’s all just a lie… **[Hook]** I might just die tonight, tonight Forgotten flowers fight the light inside my mind Porcelain lies, so I cut the ties Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh… **[Verse 2 – Slower, more detached and bitter flow, voice soft like fading echoes]** Hope you know your words don’t stick anymore Hope you know I’ve heard that script before Hope you know I’m done playing the role Hope you know you never reached my soul You’re the party lights when the power goes out Pretty from far but hollow inside out Hope you know I see through the mask Hope you know you’re my biggest Biggest fraud, biggest fraud Biggest fraud, biggest fraud Biggest fraud, biggest fraud Biggest fraud… **[Hook – Swelling layers, most emotional yet]** I might just die tonight, tonight Forgotten flowers fight the light inside my mind Porcelain lies, so I cut the ties Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh… **[Breakdown – Heavy post-hardcore drop: crushing guitars, fast drums, deep 808s. Raw screamed vocals over clean echoes]** I MIGHT DIE TONIGHT! FAKE FRIENDS LET ME BLEED! PORCELAIN LIES CRACKING UNDERNEATH! CUT THE TIES! CUT THE TIES! EVERY “MISS YOU” WAS A GODDAMN LIE! I KNOW IT’S A LIE! I KNOW IT’S A LIE! SO I CUT THE TIES AND LET MYSELF DIE! *(Chaos peaks with shattering feedback, then drops to near silence)* **[Final Hook – Stripped, fragile, almost whispered layers fading out]** I might just die… tonight… tonight Forgotten flowers lose the fight… inside my mind Porcelain lies… so I cut the ties… Ooh… ooh… ooh… Ooh… ooh… ooh… **[Outro – Just vinyl crackle and a single decaying guitar note]** *(Faint whisper)* Porcelain lies… Cut the ties… Good night…
