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 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 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 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 And we all know there's something wrong Yeah, slowly going going gone Yeah, it's gone gone gone gone Gone gone gone 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 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 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
