Lyrics
Intro
Ooh
Yeah
Broken things...
Yeah
Verse 1
I dropped in through the red-wet hall
Doors all bent, and the floor still call
Toy box guts and a busted seal
Something in here don't want to heal
I seen Blue in the dark, that grin still twitch
Saw a white hand move through the glitch
CatNap crawling through the broken frame
Smells like smoke and a kid's last name
Poppy said, "Don't trust that voice"
So I kept my blade and I made my choice
Found old tapes in the rusted crate
Playtime's dead but the hate don't wait
Every wall got teeth in it
Every shadow got a feast in it
And the deeper I go, I know
This place built a ghost to throw
Pre-Chorus
If you hear me, answer now
If you see me, show me how
The walls breathe, the lights all stutter
One more step and the room turns gutter
I won't fold, I won't break
Not tonight, not in this place
Chorus
Broken things, broken things
We still scream, we still sing
Broken things, broken things
This whole damn place remember me
Broken things, broken things
Say my name, let it ring
Broken things, broken things
I came back for the dead machine
Verse 2
Prototype
I am you
I am you
I wear your breath in a mirror suit
I learned your rage in a deeper loop
Same damn grin, same scarred-up tone
I talk like a king in a stolen home
You swing that pipe, I swing that fate
You hit one door, I open eight
I crawled through vents where the secrets choke
Read your fear like a half-burned joke
Poppy lied in a velvet voice
DogDay howled from a cage of noise
Kissy Missy near the broken stage
Smiling through the wreckage rage
The Hour of Joy left blood on the floor
Now every toy wants more, more, more
You came for answers, I came for your throat
I can wear your words like a dying note
Pre-Chorus
Hear that static in your chest?
That's the part of you I kept
One more turn and the maze gets cruel
One more move and I make the rule
Chorus
Broken things, broken things
We still scream, we still sing
Broken things, broken things
This whole damn place remember me
Broken things, broken things
Say my name, let it ring
Broken things, broken things
I came back for the dead machine
Bridge
Half-Time
Down in the pit where the bright lights rot
I found the truth in a locked-up box
Experiment lines, and a childlike plea
A king made of scraps and electricity
You made a face from a thousand parts
Now it wears our fear and calls it art
I can hear your boots in the metal rain
I can hear my voice in your voice again
Breakdown
Uh
Say it back
Say it back
Broken
Broken
Ha
Final Chorus
Broken things, broken things
We still scream, we still sing
Broken things, broken things
This whole damn place remember me
Broken things, broken things
Say my name, let it ring
Broken
