Park After Dark
Lyrics
Intro
Ticket in my hand
Turnstile stuck, then it scans
Welcome sign half-burnt
Mascot winkin’ from the merch stand (hey)
Candy on the ground
Ferris wheel rustin’, no sound
Then that jingle comes on
Too sweet for this ghost town
Verse 1
Yo, Indigo, Indigo
Big smile in the video
Blue fur, big bow, star show
Cartoon king of the rodeo
He say, "Buddy, we can play all day"
Teeth too sharp when he laugh that way
Eyes flicker static, frame by frame
Happy face jump-cut straight to insane
Roller coaster track go straight off the map
Map say "Fun" where the bodies collapse
Prize booth locked with a keypad code
But the plush in the glass keep followin’ me home
Security tapes all loop, repeat
My footsteps echo under broken seats
I hear that voice in the PA hiss
"Welcome back, friend, you were always missed"
Chorus
Indigo park after dark, it’s a death ride
Candy-coated hell with a laugh on the inside
You can run, you can hide, he’ll still high-five
Cheerful on the surface, glitchin’ when he feel that drive
He go "Ha-ha-ha" then the screen go black
Then a frame of your face with a red cross X
Buddy, buddy, buddy, yeah, he trackin’ every step
Indigo park, once you in, that’s a one-way check
Verse 2 – Indigo
(Heeey buddy!) welcome back, miss me?
I been watchin’ from the cracks of your LCD
I remember every step, every slip, every key
You a VIP snack in my family tree
Look both ways
Down these maze-like hallways
Every poster on the wall? That’s me, always
Every jingle in your skull? That’s my Broadway
I’m the star of the tapes, of the merch, of your fear
When the speakers start to pop, that mean Indigo near
I’m your best friend, best friend, say it with cheer
Till your bones decorate my souvenir tier
Pre-Chorus
Carousel creak, got a beat to it
Ticket booth mirror got a face through it
Hands on the rail, feel the hum runnin’
Like the whole park heart still drummin’
Cotton candy sky turn black in a blink
Ride sign drippin’ with a crimson ink
Every mascot smile stuck wide, unblinkin’
Every game rigged, yeah, house stay thinkin’
Chorus
Indigo park after dark, it’s a death ride
Candy-coated hell with a laugh on the inside
You can run, you can hide, he’ll still high-five
Cheerful on the surface, glitchin’ when he feel that drive
He go "Ha-ha-ha" then the screen go black
Then a frame of your face with a red cross X
Buddy, buddy, buddy, yeah, he trackin’ every step
Indigo park, once you in, that’s a one-way check
Verse 3
Puzzle on the wall, color code in the lights
Memory game with the past guest nights
Door slam shut, lock chimed in three
PA hissin’, "It’s just you and me"
Photo booth flash with a ghost in the frame
Ticket stub twitch like it writes my name
Lost kid posters all scratched with claws
Mascot silhouettes painted over the laws
Maintenance tunnels hum, fluorescent flick
Shadow on the wall move way too quick
Claw machine arm stuck, prize head twitch
Then the speakers glitch with a happy pitch
Verse 4 – Indigo
Buddy, buddy, why you so tense?
I turned this park into perfect suspense
Every ride now run on your heart rate, sense
Every checkpoint tagged with your fingerprints
You push buttons on the console, think that you in charge
But I’m root access, baby, I own every yard
Every gate, every train, every gift shop card
Every scream in surround, I’m the sound in
