This song almost didn't exist, but I plucked this scene out to reference it in Act 4 lmao. Speaking of which, I need to start making the long ass video telling the story and showing what songs we have demo'ed oof.
I'm a little late uploading because I was working on something and didn't realize it was already 6pm lmao.
I hope you guys enjoy this one. And be sure to tun in to the livestream this Friday at 8pm to get a sneak peak at the art for the finale!
--lyrics--
(REBA and WILL sit on the edge of a hospital bed, a female POLICE OFFICER in the room with them.)
REBA: A man once tried to slap me
I was quiet, he couldn’t find me
He was blind, but this one could see
And he was crazy, that’s the word: crazy
WILL: ‘Crazy’ is a fearsome word
Oh, the power it holds
In its clutches, all discussions
Of a story too often told
REBA & WILL: Tell me, what kind of crazy
Could make a man act this way?
REBA: Was I the reason why?
Was I just fanning the flames?
Around his neck, there was the key
I felt his bloody, lifeless body
With my own two hands
I felt it with my own two hands
WILL: I promise this horror has come to an end
I wouldn’t dare make you live through it again
But I’d like to come back, just to say hello
See how you’re doing, the least that I owe
REBA: How could you help it? A charmer like me.
WILL: (turns to the police officer) Would you excuse us for a minute, officer?
(The officer leaves the room, then WILL takes REBA’S hand)
WILL: In the end, he couldn’t kill you
He couldn’t watch you die
We think he was trying to stop
So that’s the reason why (REBA: Is that the reason why?)
WILL: You helped him
You saved so many lives
You helped him see the flaws in his design
REBA: I drew a freak
Warnings spelled out in blood streaks
But I couldn’t see
WILL: You didn’t draw a freak
You drew a man with a freak on his back
It’s about what you offered, not what you lack
There’s nothing wrong with you
Don’t let yourself believe it, it’s not true
You walked through the fire and made it out alive
All twelve stars on your crown, you survived
REBA + WILL: The moon under my/your feet, as I/you staggered through those halls
REBA: Feel the heat, I couldn’t breathe, but I’m alive (WILL: But you’re alive)
I know there’s nothing wrong with me
When making friends, I’m wary
Of those who foster dependency
It festers and they feed
REBA: I've been with a few. The blind attract them.
WILL: Not just the blind.
BOTH: Blood red banners burning in the wind
We surrender and the games begin
They showed us the truth and they even brought proof
Didn’t feel the heat until it charred our skin
REBA: But I got away
WILL: I refused to play
BOTH: He can’t hurt me now
(Will quietly leaves.)
