Slave to the Factory Line (Live at NPC 2022)

[Intro]
What we've got on the inside
Toys all sizes come to life

[Chorus]
You won't believe your eyes
Once you notice what we've got on the inside
Toys all sizes come to life
All the same is your demise
You don't need to fray
Hugs are what we pay, held tightly 'til the day
In this carnal factory
Poppy's coming out to play

[Verse 1]
We're on a lockdown, close to overnight
Welcome to an isolation
Make way for desolation
We want to play
We haven't ratatat-tatted with a friend or two
In a while or few, we've wasted our time
Lampooned and dancing in the dark
Waiting for daylight
Don't let them know from outside
We're a wilder party than ever seen before
(Let's pretend that didn't happen!)

[Verse 2]
You got caught red-handed, no surprise
No place but forward motions
Rainbows of pure emotions
Makes fun a chore
But I'm sure you're familiar with gate-crashed parties
Full of prepped up Barbies and a violent décor
Your sweet but sensitive deplore
Makes use of our daily fight
Merciful corners will cave into your chest
There's no lifeline on the screen
'Cause we're coming for you next

[Chorus]
You won't believe your eyes
Once you notice what we've got on the inside
Toys all sizes come to life
All the same is your demise
You don't need to fray
Hugs are what we pay, held tightly 'til the day
In this carnal factory
Poppy's coming out to play

You won't believe your eyes
Once you notice what we've got on the inside
Toys all sizes come to life
All the same is your demise
You don't need to fray
Hugs are what we pay, held tightly 'til the day
In this carnal factory
Poppy's coming out to play

[Post-Chorus]
You ain't going home
You're a slave to the factory line
In this carnal factory
Poppy's coming out to play

[Verse 3]
You thought escape was a compromise
But the feeling of dread threads through the lies
Holding back on the fresh start
Occupied by cries but the fact remains
We're a broken curse, enraged
By the fear of a loneliness unexplained
We can't be tamed and you're to blame
Exposure made us insane
But can you blame us?
We were chained up, made to dance with no more spark
So don't shame us
'Cause it's you who'll tap alone in the dark

[Bridge]
We were made with a screw loose in our brains, left to rot
Left to be the failures
Followed by an endless sea of whole abominations
No longer free
But now you're here with me (Let you see what I mean)

And if you're like me
You'd know pain from the machine

[Chorus]
We're gonna break your heart
Once you notice what we've killed from the inside
Broken toys, unsupervised
Back to work, my sweet decline
And when disarray
Builds our empire large, we'll know to cease the day
From this carnal factory
Now we're rising up today

You won't believe your eyes
Once you notice what we've got on the inside
Toys all sizes come to life
All the same is your demise
You don't need to fray
Hugs are what we pay, held tightly 'til the day
In this carnal factory
Poppy's coming out to play

(And if you're like me
You'd know pain from the machine!)

[Post-Chorus]
You ain't going home
You're a slave to the factory line
In this carnal factory
