Create Alt-Pop English lyrics for a breathy, layered female vocal. Music parameters: 92 BPM, D minor, core instrumentation with warped theremin synths, wobbly glockenspiel melodies, off-kilter lo-fi beats, muted sub-bass pulses, and distorted jack-in-the-box sound flourishes. Lyrics follow the narrative of a teen sneaking into an abandoned boardwalk wax museum after dusk, weaving imagery of half-melted celebrity statues, cracked neon "exit" signs, and the quiet thrill of realizing you’re the only living thing in the room. Emotion blends deadpan whimsy, soft existential unease, and quiet defiance, with internal rhymes and conversational, intimate delivery in the vein of Billie Eilish and Melanie Martinez.

Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Silver latch, click
Hear the clock, tick
Boardwalk is sleeping
Shadows are creeping
Salt in the air
Dust in my hair
I’m in the lobby
It’s just my hobby
[Pre-Chorus]
Wobbly bells play a tune
Under a paper moon
The silence is heavy
I’m never quite ready
[Chorus]
Melted faces in a row
Nowhere left for them to go
I’m the only one who breathes
Underneath these plastic leaves
Neon exit light is cracked
There is no turning back
Just a pulse in a room of clay
Watching the world decay
[Post-Chorus]
Clay, clay
Watch it decay
Stay, stay
Don't look away
[Verse]
Movie stars in the dark
Lost their spark
Cheeks are dripping down
Wilted prom queen crown
Elvis has a broken chin
History is wearing thin
I touch the cold skin
Where do I begin?
[Pre-Chorus]
Warped synths start to moan
I am finally alone
The air is getting colder
I feel centuries older
[Chorus]
Melted faces in a row
Nowhere left for them to go
I’m the only one who breathes
Underneath these plastic leaves
Neon exit light is cracked
There is no turning back
Just a pulse in a room of clay
Watching the world decay
[Bridge]
Warped sounds from the wall
Listen to the theremin call
Jack-in-the-box goes pop
I don't want it to stop
Am I just a doll too?
Painted in a different hue?
Waiting for the sun to rise
With glass in my eyes
[Verse]
The sub-bass is a ghost
Who loves me the most?
The man with the wax hands
He understands
He doesn't ask why
He doesn't tell a lie
We’re both just sitting still
Waiting for the chill
[Chorus]
Melted faces in a row
Nowhere left for them to go
I’m the only one who breathes
Underneath these plastic leaves
Neon exit light is cracked
There is no turning back
Just a pulse in a room of clay
Watching the world decay
[Post-Chorus]
Clay, clay
Watch it decay
Stay, stay
Don't look away
[Outro]
