Prototype in the Pipes

Lyrics

Verse 1
I stepped in the factory, sign still swingin'
Dust on the toys, but the walls keep singin'
Mommy on the poster with her teeth too wide
And the floor got a grin when I walked inside
GrabPack on, I claw through the dark
One red hand reachin', one blue hand spark
Fuses and doors, every room got a test
Every smile here looks like a cage in a chest
I heard that tape hiss, heard a kid get gone
The lights kept flickerin' like the place knew wrong
Huggy in the vents, he was watchin' me crawl
Tall blue bastard tried to end it all
I ran through the bloodline, through the pipe maze
Hear that laugh trail off in a toxic haze
Then the whole damn place felt alive to bite
Poppy in the box with her glassy sight

Pre-Chorus
Pull me down, pull me in
Feel that cold under my skin
Every hall got a buried sin
Every door says, "don't come in"

Chorus
Poppy Playtime, let me out
Poppy Playtime, hear me shout
Toybox curse, factory mouth
Bite my name and drag me south
Poppy Playtime, one more fight
Poppy Playtime, blacked-out night
If I fall, I fall hard
In this place, I leave a scar

Verse 2
Chapter Two, now the train ain't safe
Mommy's in the walls and she talks in slates
Green hand, grab-bin, stretch through steel
Playtime Co. got a death wish feel
Statues froze when I played that tune
Then the floor turned red like an open wound
Game station lights and a nursery roar
Every "friendly" thing want blood, then more
Mommy Long Legs with that painted grin
She lead me through hell with a sugarthin skin
She told me "play nice," then she pulled that lie
Tried to string me up in the rafters high
I cut through puzzles, I cut through fear
That train back home didn't even appear
Then Poppy popped out with a warning stare
Said the real dark shit is still in there

Pre-Chorus
Hear that hum in the steel
Something big ain't got no seal
Every step says "kneel, kneel, kneel"
Every smile is made unreal

Chorus
Poppy Playtime, let me out
Poppy Playtime, hear me shout
Toybox curse, factory mouth
Bite my name and drag me south
Poppy Playtime, one more fight
Poppy Playtime, blacked-out night
If I fall, I fall hard
In this place, I leave a scar

Verse 3
Chapter Three got the hunger in walls
CatNap creepin' through the sleep-deprived halls
Smiling critter masks and a prayer gone thin
Like the whole damn room just learned to sin
That gas hit hard, had my brain on ice
I saw old screams in a sugar-coated slice
Home Sweet Home, but it felt like a tomb
Every stuffed-up corner held a vanished room
The Doctor moved like he owned my breath
Puttin' nightmares on wheels, callin' it success
I followed the clues through the soot and grime
Found the kids' lost echoes trapped in time
Beneath that red glow, where the furnace moaned
I heard that orphanage call from a bone-white throne
Then CatNap fell, but the fear stayed near
Like the floor still knew how to feed on fear

Bridge
And the deeper I go, the more it leaks
Old blood in the pipes, old lies in the vents
They made a kingdom out of broken toys
Then buried the screams under corporate glitter
But I seen the tests, I seen the names
Seen the child-sized rooms and the monster games
Seen the way the screen says "smile" and "stay"
While the truth in the dark just claws its way

Verse 4
Chapter Four, now the prison doors bend
Piano wire tension, every step got a friend
Kissy Missy close, but I still don't trust
Too many pretty faces turned to rust
Ivy green halls and a chapel of shame
They built their sins in a child's first name
Pianos, bells, and a locked-up choir
Every hymn in here got a wire for fire
We climbed through the wreck where the executives hid
All that polished talk, all that evil they did
The Prototype breathing through the back-end room
Like a god made of scrap in a basement tomb
He don't speak loud, he don't need to
Just pulls strings once he sees you
And the whole damn factory starts to obey
Like a dead man's hand on a live display
