Porcelain - A Song I Wrote For 'Pretty Little Dolls'

I wrote this for my HunHan fic 'Pretty Little Dolls'. I can't get to sleep and I just wrote this now.

 

[Verse 1]

Open your eyes

How can you not see it yet?

How are you so blind?

They’ve got you trapped inside a nightmare

That feels too much like a dream

For you to wanna leave behind

 

[Pre-chorus 1]

It’s not too late yet

But it’s getting to that stage

 

[Chorus 1]

You could be pretty

You could be sweet

You could be everything that they want you to be

You could be gentle

You could wear a fake smile

But every day’s the same

And you’re not allowed to complain

When you’re made of porcelain

When you’re made of porcelain

 

[Verse 2]

Welcome home

This is all you’ve ever known

When will you realise

That none of what you feel is real love

All you’ve ever felt is pain

But you’ve been desensitised

 

[Pre-chorus 2]

You’ll never escape

But try to hold on ‘til it’s over

 

[Chorus 1]

You could be pretty

You could be sweet

You could be everything that they want you to be

You could be gentle

You could wear a fake smile

But every day’s the same

And you’re not allowed to complain

When you’re made of porcelain

When you’re made of porcelain

 

[Verse 3]

They didn’t want us to crack

They didn’t want us to break

And in this dollhouse we play

Until they throw us away

 

[Chorus 2]

We could be pretty

We could be sweet

We could be everything that they want us to be

But once we’ve started to crack

Once we’ve started to break

They won’t want us anymore

And they’ll throw us away

 

And we’re not allowed to complain

‘Cause we’re made of porcelain

And we’ll never be safe

‘Cause no-one sees passed the porcelain

Wow, the lyrics are so daebak. I could imagine this being sung with a slow, angsty tune.

I can imagine someone like Melanie Martinez singing this song. It fits so well with your story.
