Mascot Behind Glass cover art

Paroles

[Verse 1]
Step in the park, yeah, sign says smile
But the grin on the gate don't blink for a while
Moose on the wall and a fox in the dark
Every busted old ride got a bite in the spark

I seen the cracks in the painted-on cheer
Saw the whole damn place still breathe in my ear
Maps in my hand, but the halls rearrange
Every turn got a joke with a teeth-showing sneer

Rambley keep talking like he run the show
All chipper and bright with a glitch in his throat
He says, "Keep moving, kid, don't you freeze"
But his eyes on the screen got a whole lotta teeth

And Mollie's off-frame with that stare so mean
Like she knows every move before it hits the screen
Bobby's backstage with a grin too wide
And an old fucked-up mascot keeps pacing beside

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that hum in the wall
That's the park waking up
One wrong step, one wrong call
And the whole shit locks up

[Chorus]
Indigo Park, oh
I don't sleep, I go
Indigo Park, oh
Smiling faces, cold

Indigo Park, oh
Ride the fear, don’t fold
Indigo Park, oh
This place got a hold

[Verse 2]
Find the token, then the door goes live
Push through static and a busted-up hive
Collect that scrap from the busted-down stall
Every little clue got a price on the hall

You gotta watch when the lights start to strobe
'Cause the shadows get slick in the carnival smoke
One second safe, then the corridor bends
And the next damn sound means you're back at the end

There's a tape in the booth with a voice gone thin
Says the park used to laugh, then it caved from within
And the mascots all turned from a show into rot
Now they stalk through the games like a fucked-up plot

Mollie wants chase, Bobby wants blame
Rambley keeps spinning his busted loop game
I keep my head down, but I hear that cheer
Like the whole damn midway is crawling out here

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that hum in the wall
That's the park waking up
One wrong step, one wrong call
And the whole shit locks up

[Chorus]
Indigo Park, oh
I don't sleep, I go
Indigo Park, oh
Smiling faces, cold

Indigo Park, oh
Ride the fear, don’t fold
Indigo Park, oh
This place got a hold

[Bridge]
[Half-time drop]
Back room, black glass, name tags scratched out
Something in the rafters keep circling out
You hear that laugh? That ain't fun, that's real
That's the sound of a mascot with a broken deal

I don't trust the guide, I don't trust the glow
Every cheerful little lie got a throat full of cold
If I make it out, I'ma carry these scars
Ain't no prize at the end, just a parking lot of stars

[Final Chorus]
Indigo Park, oh
I don't sleep, I go
Indigo Park, oh
Smiling faces, cold

Indigo Park, oh
Ride the fear, don’t fold
Indigo Park, oh
This place got a hold

Indigo Park, oh
Hear the static roll
Indigo Park, oh
This park stole my soul
