Tilt Warning

(Tilt Warning) (Arcade Ambience) (Ball Rolling) (Machine Voice) Tilt Warning (Verse 1) First warning came when I stopped sleeping Said I was working, truth was creeping Ball in the air but my eyes went blind Chasing the score while losing my mind First warning came from the ones I loved They weren’t asking much, just enough But every light on the board looked gold And every jackpot left me cold (Pre-Chorus) The machine don’t hate you It don’t pick sides It flashes little signals Before the ride (Chorus) Tilt Warning Glowing red in the dark Tilt Warning Before I left another mark Tilt Warning The machine could see What I couldn’t see I wasn’t fighting the game I was fighting me (Verse 2) Second warning came from my own reflection Mirror asking hard questions Why you always running What you trying to prove How many points before you finally move Second warning came when the laughter stopped When every win felt store bought Standing at the machine with a pocket full of scores Still feeling poorer than before (Pre-Chorus) The warning ain’t punishment The warning ain’t shame It’s mercy wearing neon Calling my name (Chorus) Tilt Warning Glowing red in the dark Tilt Warning Before I tore the whole thing apart Tilt Warning One more chance to breathe One more chance to see The machine was never my enemy (Bridge) (Machine Voice) Tilt Warning Tilt Warning Tilt Warning The crowd disappeared The lights turned to haze Heart beating faster Lost in the maze One more shove One more try One more reason One more lie (Breakdown) The warning lights were screaming But I called it fate The machine kept whispering Easy now Wait (Final Chorus) Tilt Warning Some hear it Some don’t Tilt Warning Some stop Some won’t Tilt Warning Every life I ever knew Had warning lights Before it blew (Outro) (Ball Drain) (Machine Voice) Warning ignored Prepare for Rage Tilt
