[Verse 1] New game New cage Candy paint over rust and rage Pixel smile Dead eyes Laugh track echoing over lies They call it “amazing” Like it’s a gift Not a threat Cardboard crowns and paper hearts But I can’t forget [Chorus] I’m the glitch in my halo I’m the crack in their code Playing nice in a nightmare Where the joke overloads Thought escape was the ending Now I’m reading their eyes If this circus keeps spinning Who survives? Who survives? (hey) [Verse 2] Day one Stage fright Neon teeth in the spotlight Card tricks Cheap jokes Underneath Something almost chokes I learned their names Their fears Their favorite hiding spots Sugar masks and trembling hands Laughing as they rot [Chorus] I’m the glitch in my halo I’m the crack in their code Playing nice in a nightmare Where the joke overloads Thought escape was the ending Now I’m reading their eyes If this circus keeps spinning Who survives? Who survives? [Bridge] Then he snapped Smile split like a screen Colors bled Wrong shades of green Jokes went sharp Like teeth in the dark Every laugh now leaves a mark Was I selfish Counting exits in my head? While my friends Dangled over the ledge Now the door looks small Their voices sound big I trade my way out For a stronger rig [Chorus] I’m the glitch in my halo I’m the shield at their side If the ringmaster’s breaking I will not run and hide Keep the exit for later Hold their hands through the fright If this circus keeps spinning We survive We survive (yeah) [Outro] New game Same cage But I stand at the edge of the stage If the script burns I stay I’ll be the bug that breaks his play
