[Verse 1]
Rusty chains and metal dreams
Playground kingdom, not what it seems
Daddy worked the factory floor
Now these sirens sound like before
Through the fence, I'd watch them glow
Warning lights put on their show
[Pre-Chorus]
Plastic smile, iron sky
Teaching kids how to get by
Sweet delusions start to fade
In this world that we have made
[Chorus]
Swing me higher, through the smoke
Till our innocence is broke
Neon warnings flash and fade
Dancing through this mess we made
Sweet destruction lullaby
Watch our kingdom say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Pretty bows can't hide the cracks
Emergency tracks playing back
Kawaii stickers on machines
Cover up what darkness means
In my head, I make it cute
While the alarms are absolute
[Bridge]
Sugar-coated radiation
Bubblegum contamination
Playing dead beneath the stars
While sirens echo from afar
Dress up games in hazard zones
Making friends with broken bones
[Chorus]
Swing me higher, through the smoke
Till our innocence is broke
Neon warnings flash and fade
Dancing through this mess we made
Sweet destruction lullaby
Watch our kingdom say goodbye
[Verse 3]
Metal slides burn summer skin
Emergency broadcast kicks in
Daddy's scars tell stories now
Of monsters that the rules allow
Hide behind my pixel dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
[Outro]
In this playground made of steel
Where childhood learns how fear can feel
Sweet little lies we tell ourselves
While sirens dance through empty shells
Swing me higher, one last time
Through these ashes, we'll be fine
