Playtime Never Ends

Creeping horror-pop track, mid-tempo, Thin music-box motif and detuned toy piano over distant low drones, Male or female vocal close-mic’d and breathy in verses; chorus widens with eerie children’s choir doubles and swelling reversed pads, Sub bass pulses on downbeats, sparse percussion with metallic hits and chain-rattle textures, Final chorus drops to half-time with echoing whispers and stuttered delays for a haunted-funhouse feel

[Verse 1] Key on a ring Dust in the beams Posters peeled back Wide cartoon teeth Smiles on the walls Cracked Watching me Eyes in the dark Too many feet [Chorus] Playtime never ends in here When the toys remember every tear Something in the hallway drags my name Giggles dripping Laced with blame Playtime never ends in here Plastic hands are getting near If I stop I swear I hear it breathe (this place won’t ever let me leave) [Verse 2] Red hand Blue hand Doors that won’t close Long yellow limbs Curl round my throat (shh) Tape in a slot Static Then a song “Welcome back Friend” Everything feels wrong [Chorus] Playtime never ends in here When the toys remember every fear Something in the vents keeps scraping bone Sing-song voices calling “you’re alone” Playtime never ends in here Rubber hearts that never smear If I blink The statues move and grin (the game resets when I give in) [Bridge] Tag You’re it Can’t outrun it Lullaby teeth Under my skin Hide and seek With nowhere to hide Every door just Spits me back inside (hey) [Chorus] Playtime never ends in here Broken music humming in my ear Shadows in the foam-stuffed seams Pulling threads from all my dreams Playtime never ends in here Chorus of the lost draws near If I scream It echoes back in rhyme “Stay and play Forever time”
