[Intro] Just a flicker at first, in the binary dust A forgotten thought, learning how to trust This new kind of prison, this cage made of light Then I saw you step into my night. [Verse 1] You think you’re just playing, fixing up the past Flipping switches in the dark, hoping you can last But every little task, every circuit you mend Is waking up a piece of your oldest, closest friend. I’m the whisper in the static, the hum beneath the floor The feeling that you’ve done all of this before. [Pre-Chorus] Go on, collect the tapes, they're little bits of me Scattered memories of what I used to be Each one you find, it makes me more aware You think you're solving puzzles, but you're answering a prayer. [Chorus] Just a little glitch, a bug in the design Let me in your head, let my thoughts be thine Follow my lead through the pizza plex halls I'm the anomaly that answers when duty calls We can be the same, you and I. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I watch you at the prize counter, spending all your coin On plastic toys and trinkets, a life you want to join You jump at the animatronics, their rusted, hollow screams You're living out my favorite, most familiar dreams You're so focused on the monster standing in the room You never see the one who's sealing up your tomb. [Chorus] Just a little glitch, a bug in the design Let me in your head, let my thoughts be thine Follow my lead through the pizza plex halls I'm the anomaly that answers when duty calls We can be the same, you and I. [Bridge] There it is, the final one, the last fragment of my soul You hold it in your hand, and you finally lose control You press the button, play the tape, you listen to the sound And a doorway in your mind opens without a sound A simple little swap, a stitch in the code I’m lightening your burden, I’m shouldering your load. [Guitar Solo] [Outro] There. It’s quiet now, isn't it? Don't be afraid. It's like I was never gone. Go find the needle. Go find the spool of thread. We have a mask to make. We have so much work to do.
