(Rage Tilt) (Arcade Noise) (Distant Tournament Announcer) (Player Three on Machine Four) (Game On) (Verse 1) Started with a bad bounce Nothing I ain’t seen before Caught a drain between the flippers Watched it hit the floor Told myself keep cool It’s only one more ball But every loss I’d ever carried Was waiting for the call Another player got the jackpot Another player got the save Another player got the lucky bounce I swore that I deserved The machine just kept on humming Like it didn’t know my name That’s when frustration lit the fuse And anger fed the flame (Pre-Chorus) The score wasn’t the problem The machine wasn’t the cause A thousand little battles Were breaking through the walls (Chorus) Rage Tilt Shake the whole machine Rage Tilt Nothing’s what it seems One bad bounce becomes a lifetime One lost ball becomes a war Rage Tilt Till you don’t know What you’re fighting for (Verse 2) Seen a man punch his chest Seen him curse the flashing lights Storm out of the arcade Every single Monday night Banned from every building Still chasing one more win Never knew the machine he hated Was the one he held within Everybody got a breaking point Everybody got a line Everybody thinks they’re different Till it’s finally their time The warning lights were blinking The signs were everywhere But pride is deaf to reason When ego grabs the wheel (Pre-Chorus) The score wasn’t the problem The machine wasn’t the cause A thousand little battles Were breaking through the walls (Chorus) Rage Tilt Shake the whole machine Rage Tilt Nothing’s what it seems One bad bounce becomes a lifetime One lost ball becomes a war Rage Tilt Till you don’t know What you’re fighting for (Bridge) (Machine Voice) Tilt Warning Tilt Warning Tilt Warning (Silence) One more shove One more push One more chance One more look One more reason One more lie One more second Before goodbye (SLAM TILT) (Game Over) (Breakdown) The crowd got quiet The lights went dark The score stopped climbing Right where they are And in the silence A truth appeared The machine didn’t beat me I tilted here (Final Chorus) Rage Tilt The machine survived Rage Tilt But something died Not the score Not the game Not the ball Not the lights Just the part of me That thought force Could make things right (Outro) (Ball Drain) (Machine Voice) Control lost Game ended Insert coin When ready (Whisper) Some tilts happen in arcades Some tilts happen in life The machine don’t know the difference But you should (Silence)
