Sakura Vibe - Meltdown Protocol Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Red lights flash, sirens wail
Daddy's hand caught in steel and rail
Sweet sixteen when the world turned grey
Emergency protocols on display
Through plexiglass I watched him fall
While voices echoed through the hall
"Please remain calm," they said to me
As if calm was something I could be

[Pre-Chorus]
Kawaii bows and pastel lies
Hide the terror in my eyes
System failure, watch it break
Feel my sanity start to shake

[Chorus]
Sweet catastrophe
Melt down, break down, can't you see?
Behind my smile there's debris
Warning signs all over me
Sweet catastrophe
Daddy's ghost still haunts these dreams
Behind these glitter screens
Nothing's ever what it seems

[Verse 2]
Factory floors and twisted chrome
Childhood memories turned to stone
Plastic hearts and metal souls
Playing out these f*cked-up roles
They built these walls so high and strong
Till everything that could go wrong
Came crashing down that summer day
When all their failsafes failed to save

[Bridge]
(Emergency broadcast tone)
Pretty pretty princess of the aftermath
Dancing through the wreckage of the past
Cute defense mechanism activate
While everything disintegrates

[Chorus]
Sweet catastrophe
Melt down, break down, can't you see?
Behind my smile there's debris
Warning signs all over me
Sweet catastrophe
Daddy's ghost still haunts these dreams
Behind these glitter screens
Nothing's ever what it seems

[Outro]
Kawaii armor cracking now
System failure, take a bow
Emergency protocols decay
As sugar-coated nightmares play
In endless loops inside my head
Till everything turns nuclear red
Sweet little girl lost in machines
Nothing's ever what it seems
