[Verse 1]
Little shoes in the hallway
TV glow on the wall
Fingerprints on the mirror
Names scratched down the hall
Lullaby in a low voice
Off-key
Out of time
Tiny hands in the doorway
Whisper
“You are mine”
[Pre-Chorus]
House lights flicker in a slow pulse
Front door breathing like a black lung
Shadows giggle in the ceiling cracks
(you can’t run, you can’t run)
[Chorus]
Welcome to the playground of broken dolls
Where the laughter’s wrong
Where the walls crawl
Every heartbeat dragged through rusted saws
You ain’t leaving when you hear that call
Teeth on metal
Something in the crawlspace
Every step another open grave
Welcome to the playground of broken dolls
Say your prayers
It only feeds the jaws (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Photographs with the eyes burned
Family smiles cut in half
Every frame on the floorboards
Every frame wants to laugh
Music box in the next room
Plays itself
Then stops
Then it plays in reverse now
Right before it drops
[Pre-Chorus]
Cold breath crawling up your backbone
Door slam bursting like a shotgun
Tiny choir in a dead tongue
(you can’t run, you can’t run)
[Chorus]
Welcome to the playground of broken dolls
Where the laughter’s wrong
Where the walls crawl
Every heartbeat dragged through rusted saws
You ain’t leaving when you hear that call
Teeth on metal
Something in the crawlspace
Every step another open grave
Welcome to the playground of broken dolls
Say your prayers
It only feeds the jaws
[Bridge]
[whispered
Stacked and detuned]
Round and round
Till your mind falls out
Count to seven
Then we tear you down
[screamed]
Count to seven
Then we tear you down
[Chorus]
Welcome to the playground of broken dolls
Where the laughter’s wrong
Where the walls crawl
Every heartbeat dragged through rusted saws
You ain’t leaving when you hear that call
Teeth on metal
Something in the crawlspace
Every step another open grave
Welcome to the playground of broken dolls
You’re home now
You’re home now (hey!)
