The plastic doll prince 
walked inside the castle
faced himself
in the bathroom’s mirror
discovering the universe
he already knew.

Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
now you are prepared
we waited so much
it's time to confirm
all the things
that you saw
all the things
that you see.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
it's time to name
the castle is beautiful
the castle is haunted
by the people
let's break
the myth
of ghosts and monsters.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
all the time
when the castle said
“You are intense!”
“You are dramatic!”
were attempts
to make you doubt
the things
that you saw clearly.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
they tried to maculate
the beauty of your being
but we resisted
despite the performances.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
you tried to build
bridges
but now you know
and we will confirm
abusers don't deserve
bridges.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince 
all the paths
you tried to fix
were condemned
to fall to pieces
the solution was your dream
when you used to be
manipulated
by the haunted castle
its culture
its premises.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince 
you named correctly
when your coins disappeared
but
it's not only
about money
your time
your energies
your opportunities
all
they stole
with a smile
not tears.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
you are not special
and you are
because
where someone falls
we did the opposite
plastic doll prince
we protected
the core
this is the beauty.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
their compliments
were lies
to keep you there
your functions alive
their eyes there
trying to keep
the subject
asleep
but plastic doll prince
the annihilation
we refused
we breathed
because we knew
this day we would see.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
when they said
“You are defending her!”
“You are defending him!”
it's about something new
you are not anymore
part of the tragic logic
so
they don't know how to react
and they try to catch
but
you crossed the door
we are ready
to leave.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
a castle who violated you
it's the paradise's opposition
but it was blessed
by the complicit culture
who never taught you
the power you used to have
but
we did something
more than resisting.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
you were a subject
as you know
you are not an object
of someone
or some system
the castle lives haunted
you know what to do.
Plastic doll prince
plastic doll prince
let's remove the plastic
you are not made of it
your skin is prepared
they will call you
“ungrateful, sinner, cursed”
empty arguments
against the facts
they know what they did
they were not innocents
never and ever.

Plastic doll prince
never made by plastic
seeing the haunted castle
if the psychic is ready
the other parts will come
naturally.
