Write art pop lyrics for a chameleonic female vocalist with 3-octave dramatic range, following an experimental non-linear structure with sudden tempo shifts between 75 and 170 BPM, in G Phrygian dominant mode, layered over warped modular synth textures, prepared piano stabs, field recordings of 1920s carnival calliopes, and occasional dissonant string swells. The lyrics follow a surreal narrative of a curator restoring lost sentient sculptures in a derelict interplanetary art gallery, shifting between deadpan spoken word, operatic belting, and breathy falsetto. Emotion veers between playful whimsy, quiet existential longing, and unhinged theatrical grandeur, laced with surreal, intellectually playful imagery of living marble installations and constellation-themed canvases that bleed ink when touched.

[Intro]
[Verse]
The dust is thick on Orion’s belt
The coldest heat I’ve ever felt
I touch the canvas, watch it bleed
A hungry god with a hollow need
I polish the torso of a king
Waiting for the stone to sing
His marble pulse is slow and deep
While the rest of the planets sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
The calliope starts to grind and moan
A circus made of ancient bone
I pull the lever, hear the snap
Falling deep into the curator’s trap
Sudden sparks in the wiring loom
Lighting up the velvet room
[Chorus]
Oh, see the marble come alive!
Only the broken will survive
In the gallery of the setting sun
The restoration has just begun
I paint the stars with a silver knife
To give the stone a second life
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning in the velvet room
Brushing away the cosmic doom
Singing to the silent stars
Behind these gilded iron bars
[Breakdown]
Subject four is a weeping stone
Sitting on a velvet throne
I scrub the moss from copper eyes
Underneath the holographic skies
Do you remember the golden heat?
Before the vacuum felt complete?
[Build-up]
Modular synths begin to scream
Like a fever in a metal dream
The tempo breaks, the rhythm flies
Look into my glass-bead eyes
Faster now, the gears are turning
All the ancient oil is burning
[Drop]
Dance, you calcified ghosts!
To the laughter of the hosts!
Break the frame and tear the silk!
Drinking from the starry milk!
[Chorus]
Oh, see the marble come alive!
Only the broken will survive
In the gallery of the setting sun
The restoration has just begun
I paint the stars with a silver knife
To give the stone a second life
[Bridge]
Piano stabs in the dark
Waiting for a single spark
The constellations drip like rain
Washing away the cosmic stain
I am the master of the silent hall
Waiting for the statues to fall
One by one they start to breathe
Watch the living marble heave
[Interlude]
[Verse]
The ink is black, the ink is gold
Stories that were never told
I stitch the canvas back together
In this wild and airless weather
My hands are stained with nebula blue
I am becoming a statue too
[Chorus]
Oh, see the marble come alive!
Only the broken will survive
In the gallery of the setting sun
The restoration has just begun
I paint the stars with a silver knife
To give the stone a second life
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning in the velvet room
Brushing away the cosmic doom
Singing to the silent stars
Behind these gilded iron bars
[Outro]
