Something is sprawling from the depths. Something deep within
The atmosphere here feels... shocking. Electrifying even
I feel chills on my skin
I thought it was something I didn't believe in

My friends here. Rejects from above. We call here our home
Here, we pledged to protect this place from any harm. Abyss
We feel it roam
Something is loose down here. Something amiss

Nobody is brave enough to go deeper. Where the bulbs don't shine
Still, we feel it closer and closer every day. Preying on us
I heard it looking for someone to dine
I had hoped it was only a fuss...

One day, I armed myself to the teeth with junk laying around here
I said my farewells to everyone because I knew I wasn't coming back
Then, about ten levels lower from where I started, I saw it. A puppeteer
"Hi there. My name is Jack"

Why did it feel like a thousand volts running through my circuits?
Who was this Jack thing?
I am part of a circus
With no will of my own, I cling to my string
