Audible Intelligence - Nightmare Arcade Lyrics

Jumpman jumps through Piranha pipes
Despair consuming will to fight
Blocks dissolving under feet
Fire flowers flame and seethe
Goombas grin with jagged teeth
Ground gives way to pits beneath
Can't unplug, can't outrun
(Nightmare arcade's just begun)
(No more lives, no restart)
Game over echoes in the dark
(Glitches crawl beneath our skin)
Arcade hell we're locked within
Final level seals our fate
(No escape, it's far too late)
Toad inhales the toxic spores
Mushrooms sprout from open pores
Eyes turn black, laughter cold
Friends transformed as skin unfolds
Spores invade, plague's alive
None escape, none survive
Once a blur, now frozen still
Hedgehog climbs a grinding hill
Sonic races, vision blurs
Wind once friend now cuts and burns
Rings now thorns that pierce his skin
Crimson trails reveal his sin
Can't unplug, can't outrun
(Nightmare arcade's just begun)
(No more lives, no restart)
Game over echoes in the dark
(Glitches crawl beneath our skin)
Arcade hell we're locked within
Final level seals our fate
(No escape, it's far too late)
Zelda's trapped in mirrored halls
Puppet strings and shadowed calls
Reflections twist with wicked grins
Darkness crawls beneath her skin
Magic wanes, her power stripped
Toward the darkness balance tipped
Glitching screens and sounds depraved
(Lost inside this nightmare arcade)
Glitches crawl where hope has strayed
(Endless night in nightmare arcade)
Levels twist and codes cascade
(Trapped within this nightmare arcade)
No continues, debts unpaid
(Can't survive in nightmare arcade)
Mario slips into the void
Toad's consumed, his mind destroyed
Sonic's trapped in time's collapse
Zelda fades through dark relapse
Can't unplug, can't outrun
