Rotten Playground

[Intro]
[laughter under breath]
That’s… that’s messed up
Yeah we know
[beat drops]
[Verse 1]
Couldn’t tie shoes ‘til twenty-two
Trip over life, but I’m stepping on you
Steal your plush bear, talk sweet to the fluff
“Only one that gets me” (that’s rough)
Ken doll in a chokehold, lipstick on his face
Practicing apologies in a bathroom stall space
Mama said “grow up,” I heard “grow strange”
So I made my little toy box… a shooting range
[Chorus]
Welcome to the rotten playground (hey!)
Everybody’s got a secret come-out clown
Laugh when it’s wrong, sing when it’s foul
If you’re here for something normal, better run now
Welcome to the rotten playground
Twisted tag, you’re it, get dragged around
We clown our scars, we brag our shame
Turn every bad thought to a bigger, badder game
[Verse 2]
He like teens? I like background checks
Pull receipts like a train wreck, break his neck in the group chat text
Track star boy tried to “coach” that kid
Screenshots got him doing laps from what he did
Track girl, track guy, same lane, same lie
“I’m just helping with form” — yeah, form an alibi
We the chorus of the creeped-out crowd
Turn predators to punchlines, say their weird out loud (ha!)
[Chorus]
Welcome to the rotten playground (hey!)
Everybody’s got a secret come-out clown
Laugh when it’s wrong, sing when it’s foul
If you’re here for something normal, better run now
Welcome to the rotten playground
Twisted tag, you’re it, get dragged around
We clown our scars, we brag our shame
Turn every bad thought to a bigger, badder game
[Bridge]
[beat drops low, whispered]
Couldn’t tie shoes
So I tied up the truth
Toy in my hand
Like a mirror to youth
We joke ‘cause we choked on the growing up phase
Comedy is horror in a thrift store haze
[beat builds]
If you see yourself here, better change your route
We laughing at the monsters… while we drag ‘em out
[Chorus]
Welcome to the rotten playground (hey!)
Everybody’s got a secret come-out clown
Laugh when it’s wrong, sing when it’s foul
If you’re here for something normal, better run now
Welcome to the rotten playground
Twisted tag, you’re it, get dragged around
We clown our scars, we brag our shame
Turn every bad thought to a bigger, badder game (rotten playground)
