Craft English female vocal alt-pop lyrics, tempo 95 BPM, natural minor key (D minor core). Core instrumentation: warped tape-warped synths, lopsided trip-hop off-beats, fuzzed-out toy xylophone, warbling calliope snippets instead of plain music box, chest-rattling sub-bass drops, breathy, deadpan-to-ferocious genre-fluid female vocals. Theme: Narrated by the teen part-time ticket-taker at a permanently shuttered small-town boardwalk haunted house, confronting long-buried memories of friends who vanished in its hall of mirrors 10 years prior, equal parts bitterly nostalgic, quietly furious, and soft with grief. Imagery: peeling funhouse decals, faded velvet ropes, mirror cracks that hold half-remembered faces. Reference the sharp, intimate specificity of Billie Eilish narrative delivery, Melanie Martinez’s dark playful whimsy, Lana Del Rey’s faded romantic regret.

[Intro] [Verse] I sit in the booth where the paint peels off Counting the dust and a winter cough The velvet rope is a frayed-out line Tied to a ghost that was once a friend of mine The calliope is a dying scream Drowning out the remains of a teenage dream [Pre-Chorus] Ding, dong, the house is dead Ten years of static inside my head You stepped inside the glass And watched the decades pass Now the mirrors hold your face In this cold and hollow place [Chorus] In the hall of broken glass The shadows never let you pass I saw your spirit in the mass Of every single looking glass Are you hiding in the crack? Cause you never did come back Yeah, you never did come back [Verse] Leo had a jacket with a silver zip Maya had a secret on her bitten lip We were fifteen on a summer trip Now the memories start to slip The clown on the door has a missing eye Watching every single lonely passerby [Pre-Chorus] Ding, dong, the house is dead Ten years of static inside my head You stepped inside the glass And watched the decades pass Now the mirrors hold your face In this cold and hollow place [Chorus] In the hall of broken glass The shadows never let you pass I saw your spirit in the mass Of every single looking glass Are you hiding in the crack? Cause you never did come back Yeah, you never did come back [Bridge] I hate this town and I hate this wood I’d burn it all down if I only could But if I light the match and the flame I’d burn the only place that knows your name You’re trapped in the silver and the grey While I’m just the girl with the minimum pay [Hook] Step right up, see the hollow girl Spinning in a shattered world Admit one, admit none Look at what the mirrors have done [Chorus] In the hall of broken glass The shadows never let you pass I saw your spirit in the mass Of every single looking glass Are you hiding in the crack? Cause you never did come back Yeah, you never did come back [Post-Chorus] The glass is cold The story’s old I’m still here Watching you disappear [Outro]
