[Intro]
[lullaby music box stuttering, distant laughter]
Click-clack
Little toy door swings back
Who’s there?
Just a shadow in a paper mask (shh)
[Verse 1]
Cold floor
Plastic tarp, red stain map
Crooked smile
Teeth tapping on a baseball bat
Head tilt
I’m humming while the hallway bends
Blood drip
Dot-dot-dot, connect your friends
One step
Every echo got a different voice
Eenie-meenie
Every heartbeat, just another choice
Photo on the fridge, yeah, I crossed out eyes
Kicked in the screen, watched static rise
[Chorus]
Welcome to my playtime in the killroom
Sing along, sing along, it’s your doom (hey!)
Ring around the rosie ‘til the lights go boom
I don’t stop, I don’t stop, I just resume
Playtime in the killroom, walls go shake
Every little promise that you made, I break
Hide and seek, but your bones too loud
I cut the sound, let the silence crowd (shh)
[Verse 2]
Door slam
You can taste the metal air
Nails on the chalk-line
Scratching out a prayer
Joke book open to the worst page scribbled
Laugh track plays while your pulse line dribbles
Mask on crooked, got a childlike draw
Crayon on the ceiling spelling out your flaw
“Bad kid, bad kid” on a broken loop
Crawling on the ceiling like a busted marionette troop
[Chorus]
Welcome to my playtime in the killroom
Sing along, sing along, it’s your doom (oh yeah)
Ring around the rosie ‘til the lights go boom
I don’t stop, I don’t stop, I just resume
Playtime in the killroom, walls go shake
Every little promise that you made, I break
Hide and seek, but your bones too loud
I cut the sound, let the silence crowd (shh)
[Bridge]
[lurching breakbeat, pitch-shifted giggles]
Tag, you’re it
But your legs won’t run
Clock says “click”
But the time’s all done
Face in the mirror, can you spot what’s wrong?
The part that was you has been gone too long (ha)
[Chorus]
Welcome to my playtime in the killroom
Sing along, sing along, it’s your doom
Ring around the rosie ‘til the lights go boom
I don’t stop, I don’t stop, I just resume
Playtime in the killroom, floorboards creak
Your name spelled wrong in a red technique
Last one laughing, I bow to the crowd
Pull the cord, let your world shut down (click)
