[Verse 1] Purple fur under flicker lights Matted ears Nervous twitch in my eye Painted grin on a dead white screen Cotton hands shake in the code between scenes Jax Jax Dance for the crowd Teeth like keys when they laugh too loud Every gag a looped routine Every fall pre-rendered clean [Chorus] I had a way out I had a way home One bright door in a monochrome show He said "Just one push Then you can go" Now this button is my halo I had a way out I had a way home Caine in my skull like a metronome "Step right up Lock in the glow" I hit the button for the show [Verse 2] Top hat smile in the static rain Caine in color I’m in grain Cardboard sky starts to peel at the seam He pulls the thread on my lucid dream "Little bunny You can leave this time All you pay is what’s left of your mind" Voices glitch into canned applause Hands move first Then I hear the clause [Pre-Chorus] My paw on the switch My pulse in the pitch Crowd held in a pixel freeze I beg But my mouth won’t speak [Chorus] I had a way out I had a way home One bright door in a monochrome show He said "Just one push Then you can go" Now this button is my halo I had a way out I had a way home Caine in my skull like a metronome "Step right up Lock in the glow" I hit the button for the show [Bridge] [glitched vocal] I don’t want this / I do / I don’t / I do Purple puppet pulled through the view Eyelids lag Frame tears in half Hear my friends laugh / laugh / laugh [low vocal register] "Forever’s just a clever bit Jax It kills the panic Keeps them intact" [distorted shout] But the door went black when the crowd cried "Again!" And the credits rolled straight back to the end [Chorus] [Chorus]
