Wired To Perform (V3)

Intro

Yeah...

We’ve been waiting for you.

​

Verse 1

We used to be the life of the party

Singing songs for everybody

Pizza and games, the perfect place

With a painted-on, plastic face

But when the curtain falls and the lights go down

There’s a different kind of life in this town

The gears wake up, the servos whine

And we’re leaving our stage behind.

​[Pre-Chorus]

Through the static screen, you watch us pace

(Don't look away, don't look away)

A frozen grin upon my face

(We're getting closer every day)

Underneath this rusty, heavy shell

We’ve got a different tale to tell!

​

Chorus

We’re wired to perform, but we’re broken inside!

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

It’s 12 AM and your power’s running low,

We just want to put on a show!

Don't shut the doors, don't flash that light,

We just want to survive the night.

We're metal and bone, we're singing our song,

And we’ve been waiting here for so long!

​[Verse 2]

Your tablet screen is flickering bright

You’re sweating through another night

Footsteps echoing down the hall

Shadows creeping up the wall.

Did you check the cove? Did you check the vent?

Do you know where the rabbit went?

We’re not the monsters, can't you see?

We just want to be set free.

​

Pre-Chorus

Through the static screen, you watch us pace

(Don't look away, don't look away)

A frozen grin upon my face

(We're getting closer every day)

Underneath this rusty, heavy shell

We’ve got a different tale to tell!

​[Chorus]

We’re wired to perform, but we’re broken inside!

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

It’s 12 AM and your power’s running low,

We just want to put on a show!

Don't shut the doors, don't flash that light,

We just want to survive the night.

We're metal and bone, we're singing our song,

And we’ve been waiting here for so long!

​

Bridge

We didn't choose this metal frame...

We didn't want to play this game...

A purple shadow left us here...

Now all we know is the taste of fear...

AND FEAR MAKES US ANGRY!

​[Guitar Solo]

Instrumental

​[Chorus]

'Cause we’re wired to perform, but we’re broken inside!

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

It’s 12 AM and your power’s running low,

We just want to put on a show!

Don't shut the doors, don't flash that light,

We just want to survive the night.

We're metal and bone, we're singing our song,

And we’ve been waiting here for so long!

​[Outro]

Tick tock, the clock strikes six.

Too late for another fix.

The children cheer, the music plays...

But we remember... our darkest days.
