[Verse 1]
Sirens paint the sky in red
Daddy's hands don't work no more
Static whispers in my head
Warnings knocking at my door
Sweet little lies they told us then
"Everything will be okay"
But I saw shadows in their eyes
As the systems slipped away
[Chorus]
Plastic hearts and metal dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
Watch it break, watch it fall
Emergency protocol
Beep beep beep, till we're dead
Sugar-coated dread
(Sugar-coated dread)
[Verse 2]
Factory lights still haunt my sleep
Memories of that winter day
When machines took what was his
And left us all to fade away
Now I dance in neon nights
Hide behind this cutesy mask
While the world keeps breaking down
And no one dares to even ask
[Bridge]
System failure, system down
Kawaii smile hides my frown
Tick tick tick goes the clock
Till everything we built will drop
[Chorus]
Plastic hearts and metal dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
Watch it break, watch it fall
Emergency protocol
Beep beep beep, till we're dead
Sugar-coated dread
(Sugar-coated dread)
[Outro]
Sweet little warning signs
Flash before my eyes
Sweet little warning signs
Till everything dies
