[Verse 1]

Stay glued, stay tuned, don't touch that dial

The colors begin to fade

Nostalgia on the TV calls out

Your name, your name

Watch the parade of happy smiles

How quickly they've been replaced

Something like static in your mouth

The taste nauseates

[Pre-Chorus]

And we all know there's something wrong

Yeah, slowly going going gone

Play pretend like it's a happy song

Slipping by and barely holding on

Through frayed seems the demon now sees

It's a fate the curse brought upon

Watching you all along

Watching you all along

[Chorus]

Now press play and you will see

A dark adventure on the screen

Pleasе be kind and play along

'Cause we'rе all friends here, don't you know?

As the days bleed into weeks

Laughter turns to unheard screams

A broken mind under control

'Cause everything rots after all

[Verse 2]

Helpless to help, you witness wrongs

That you can't decipher yet

Evil that permiates the frames

Has set its nest

Lamb to the slaughter sanity

Failing as it infects

You can't take your eyes away 'cause you

Just could, you could be next

[Pre-Chorus]

And we all know there's something wrong

Yeah, slowly going going gone

Yeah, it's gone gone gone gone

Gone gone gone

[Chorus]

Now press play and you will see

A dark adventure on the screen

Please be kind and play along

'Cause we're all friends here, don't you know?

As the days bleed into weeks

Laughter turns to unheard screams

A broken mind under control

'Cause everything rots after all

[Bridge]

Play another tape, play another tape on the way out

Play another tape, play another tape, spiraling down

There is no escape, nothing's gonna change, it wears the crown

Everything rots, there's no going back now

Play another tape, play another tape on the way out

Play another tape, play another tape, spiraling down

There is no escape, nothing's gonna change, it wears the crown

Everything rots, there's no going back now

[Chorus]

Now press play and you will see

A dark adventure on the screen

Please be kind and play along

'Cause we're all friends here, don't you know?

As the days bleed into weeks

Laughter turns to unheard screams

A broken mind under control

'Cause everything rots after all
