00:00Hello, hello to me
00:02Hello, hello to me
00:06The moment I've never been a playingbrake
00:08Coming around that i'm finally sitting here
00:13I love it waking, I feel lashing
00:16I turned into a beautiful boy named
00:19A strong father, I devastated
00:22Why haven't I brought in and dragged it?
00:25Porcelain, porcelain
00:29I think it's so much fun
00:31I ain't porcelain, porcelain
00:36And it's crazy, crazy, crazy
00:40Porcelain, yeah
00:42I think it's so much fun
00:45But I'm porcelain, porcelain
00:49I think it's so much fun
00:55I'm losing all of you
00:58Someone forgive me
01:01Forgive me
01:05I had to break it
01:07It'd be a pain
01:09It's like it's so much fun
01:11For my pain
01:12I thought about it
01:14I had to change it
01:15I live my sadness and rising
01:18Porcelain, porcelain
01:22I think it's so much fun
01:24Like porcelain, porcelain
01:27Oh, oh, oh, oh
01:29I think it's so much fun
01:31I think it's so much fun
01:33Porcelain, yeah
01:35I think it's so much fun
01:37Porcelain, porcelain
01:41And it's all I've ever been
02:00Dad told me I was born a liar
02:02Because the device on my wrist said so
02:05It's called the truth band
02:06Can tell if I'm lying
02:08Dad was obsessed with scientific parenting
02:11Since we were born, my dad strapped them on me and Sam
02:14Green means truth
02:16Red means lie
02:17Sam's band was always green
02:19He could smash dad's computer but deny it
02:22But I just said
02:23Dad I'm hungry
02:26Flash
02:26Red light
02:28Instant punishment
02:31Dad only believed the light
02:33And he wasn't gentle at all
02:34No food
02:35No drinks
02:36Locked in my room
02:38The machine doesn't lie
02:39Starve now
02:40You'll learn later
02:42It's for your own good
02:44Ten years later, I believed him
02:45Maybe I was just born broken
02:47But on New Year's Eve
02:48Hey, come on!
02:51You ready?
02:52Yeah
02:53Everything changed
02:55Everything changed on New Year's Eve
02:57Dad was taking Sam to Times Square
02:59Suddenly, a sharp pain hit me
03:01Like a knife twisting in my gut
03:03I collapsed on the floor
03:04I curled into a ball from the pain
03:06Dad, please!
03:08It hurts so much!
03:09The band flashed bright red
03:11Dad looked down at me with disgust
03:13Nice try Ron!
03:15Faking sick to ruin our night?
03:16You're unbelievable!
03:17He grabbed Sam's hand
03:19I wanted to scream for help
03:21But a part of me wondered
03:22Maybe dad is right
03:24The band is red
03:25So I must be lying
03:27The pain can't be real
03:29Sorry dad
03:31I won't lie anymore
03:37But the pain got even worse
03:39Way, way worse
03:43Midnight
03:43I heard the door handle turn
03:45He's back
03:46I thought
03:47He's a doctor
03:48He'll know I'm sick
03:51Hurry
03:52Hurry!
03:52The fireworks are starting
03:53Sam is waiting
03:55Ron, please
03:57Something is wrong
04:00I feel like I'm dying
04:03The red light was flashing like crazy
04:05He grabbed my chin
04:06And forced me up
04:07How long are you going to fake this?
04:13Can't you just be honest for once?
04:18Stay here and think about your lies
04:21Should we leave him some food?
04:25Food
04:26He has snacks bought with stolen money
04:31He brushed his hands like I was trash
04:33He won't starve
04:35Lock the door
04:36We'll talk when the band turns green
04:39Sam is perfect because he's honest
04:42Ron is just a born liar
04:44But my closet was empty
04:46Sam stole that money
04:48Sam ate those snacks
04:50I tried to tell the truth once
04:52I didn't take the money!
04:53Flash, red light, three days locked up
04:55In the darkness
04:59Sam peeked through the door
05:01He made a face at me
05:03Bye bro, we're going to see the fireworks
05:06The door locked
05:08The house went dead silent
05:09Just me, alone
05:11The pain was unbearable
05:13But I thought
05:14Dad is right, the machine doesn't lie
05:16The band is red, I'm a liar
05:19I'm not in pain, I'm not in pain
05:21I crawled to my desk
05:23I had to write an apology
05:25One thousand words
05:26That was the rule
05:28I opened my journal
05:29It was full of years of fake apologies
05:31But this time, I wanted the truth
05:33My vision blurred
05:35My hand shook as I wrote
05:37Dad, I really love you
05:38It really hurts
05:39Please believe me
05:41I finished the last word
05:43Suddenly, the pain vanished
05:45I felt light, weightless
05:47I looked down from the ceiling
05:49My body was slumped over the desk
05:53Motionless
05:53The truth band was still flashing red
05:56On a dead boy's wrist
05:57Oh, I realized
05:59I'm dead
06:04I heard laughter from the hallway
06:06Dad, Mom, and Sam were home
06:08The fireworks were amazing
06:09The smiley face looked just like Sam
06:12His voice was so warm and kind
06:14He never spoke to me that way
06:18I tried to help him with his coat
06:19I reached out to hug him
06:21My arms passed right through him
06:23Dad shivered suddenly
06:25Why is it so cold in here?
06:28Is the heating broken?
06:29I stared at my transparent hands
06:31Right!
06:32The dead can't hug the living
06:34He hasn't eaten all day
06:39Should we check on Ron?
06:41If Dad finds me dead
06:42Will he actually be sad?
06:45Will he finally regret it?
06:49Still acting, Ron?
06:50Dad said
06:51I'm not carrying you to bed
06:53You're ten years old
06:56Not five
06:58Dad, I'm not playing!
07:00I'm dead!
07:01Touch me!
07:01I'm ice cold!
07:03Sam squeezed past with a smug grin
07:04Look, my band is green
07:06His is red
07:07He's lying even in his sleep
07:09Dad patted Sam's head
07:11Good boy
07:14Just ignore the liar
07:15Maybe he'll learn to be honest
07:17Let him stay there
07:18Mom peeked in
07:19It's freezing here
07:21Should we put him in bed?
07:22No!
07:23Cold treatment is better
07:27Look at that red light
07:29He's still defying me
07:32Let's go
07:33We have plans tomorrow
07:34The door locked again
07:35I floated near my corpse in the dark
07:37I stared at the tiny red light
07:39Dad, if you just stepped closer
07:41If you just touched my hand
07:43You'd know I was dead
07:44But you didn't
07:46Late that night, a rat crawled out
07:48I used to scream at rats
07:50Now, I just watch from the ceiling
07:52It scurries across my dead body
07:54It bites my toe
07:55It's okay
07:56I can't feel a thing
07:58Morning came
07:59Sunlight hit the floor
08:01But my body stayed ice cold
08:03Well, you're gonna have to get up now
08:05Bacon and eggs
08:06My favorite
08:07Liars don't deserve meat
08:09He only ever gave me broccoli
08:11He played his podcast extra loud
08:14He's trying to tempt me out
08:15He wants another fake apology
08:17In the past, I would have caved
08:19But I don't need food anymore
08:23Ron still hasn't come out?
08:27Ron still hasn't come out?
08:29He's so stubborn
08:31He can eat or starve, I don't care
08:33Sam walked to my door and sniffed the air
08:35Dad!
08:36Ron's room smells gross
08:38Did he poop on the floor?
08:43Ron!
08:43Are you an animal?
08:44Did you do this just to spite me?
08:46I remember being six years old
08:48I had food poisoning
08:49I couldn't make it to the bathroom
08:51Dad didn't help me clean up back then
08:53He made me stand in the yard for everyone to see
08:59Look at this mess
09:00Now, he thought I was doing it again
09:02Leave him!
09:04Let him sit in his own stink
09:09The smell is really bad, I should check
09:12Maybe it's a dead mouse
09:15Dad!
09:16Please! Open the door!
09:18I'm right here!
09:25Mom's hand touched my doorknob
09:26Then, her phone rang
09:28Her face went pale
09:29Work emergency?
09:30I'm on my way
09:32Honey, I'm gone for a few days
09:35Wait, what about Ron?
09:38But she was already out the door
09:40One second later
09:41And they would have found me
09:42I wouldn't have rotted alone
09:44That afternoon, Dad took Sam shopping
09:47The house was empty, just my corpse
09:49They came back with lobster and gifts
09:51The smell was unbearable now
09:53Dad gagged as he walked in
10:00Ron!
10:02You making a morgue in there?
10:04He didn't even open the door
10:05He grabbed a roll of duct tape
10:07He sealed the gap under my door
10:12Wanna be gross?
10:13Fine, rot in it
10:16Don't stink up my house
10:17He patted his hands, satisfied
10:19I stared at that sealed door
10:21My last shred of hope
10:23Suffocated under that tape
10:27Day 3
10:28The winter sun is out
10:30But the house feels dark
10:31The heater is set to 80 degrees
10:34Tape can't hide the smell anymore
10:35It's the oily scent of rot
10:37Dad is trimming roses
10:39But the flowers can't cover the stench
10:42A thorn pricks his finger
10:44He's finally snapped
10:45Shit
10:46He thinks I'm being a brat
10:48He thinks I'm just messy to spite his
10:50He grabs a heavy rolling pin
10:52Ron! You've gone too far!
10:54I'm going to beat the laziness out of you
10:57Since the electric chokes didn't work
10:59I'm floating right in front of his
11:01Don't go in, Dad! Please!
11:03I'm hideous! I'm rotting!
11:05You'll be terrified!
11:06He tears the tape off the door
11:08The key turns
11:09The door kicks open
11:11The smell hits his like a wall
11:13He stumbles back, gagging
11:15Ron! What are you doing?
11:17I'm slumped over my desk
11:19Same spot as 3 days ago
11:21Perfectly still
11:22To him, this is just a silent attitude
11:24Are you deaf? Still playing dead?
11:27He's blinded by rage
11:30He wants to look at me in the eye
11:33He grabs the back of my collar
11:35His fingers dig into my skin
11:37Then, he freezes
11:38Time stops
11:40He doesn't feel warm skin
11:42He feels something hard
11:43Like a slab of frozen meat
11:45Bone chilling cold
11:46No life left
11:48Huh? He's confused
11:50But he pulls hard
11:51My body is stiff like a statue
11:53I talk it backward
11:55The chair hits the floor
11:56Thud! And finally!
11:59My face is revealed
12:00I'm not the little boy he knew
12:02My face is swollen and purple
12:04My eyes are bulging out
12:06Pain twisted my face before I died
12:08Dry blood and foam stain my lips
12:10On my blackened wrist
12:11The, honesty bracelet, hangs these
12:14The skin is charred and burnt
12:16The rubber melts into my flesh
12:18No more red lights
12:19No more green lights
12:21Only the silence of death
12:22Thud! My diary slides across the floor
12:25It lands right at dad's feet
12:27The messy words look like knives
12:29Dad, my stomach really hurts
12:31The bracelet is broken
12:33I'm not lying
12:34Please don't shock me
12:36A horrific scream rips through the air
12:38Dad stumbles back, hitting the help
12:41Faces shatter everywhere
12:43No, this isn't possible
12:46You're just acting
12:47This is a trick!
12:49Ron, get up! I'm not mad!
12:51He reaches out to touch me
12:53But my skin is ice cold
12:54He pulls back like he's been burned
12:56That is the temperature of death
12:59Sirens fill the neighborhood
13:00Flashing lights dance on my body
13:02Dad is babbling to the police
13:04He's faking! He always lies!
13:07The machine doesn't lie!
13:08Sir, sir
13:09The doctor tries to move my body
13:11But the bracelet is fused to me
13:14Damn it, damn it
13:15He tears the rubber from my flesh
13:17Even as it goes, I feel the pain
13:19The officer picks up my diary
13:21His face turns pale and angry
13:24Dad rushes forward to grab it
13:27That's his confession
13:28He admitted it!
13:29The officer pushes him away
13:31Mom arrives and sees the body bag
13:35She collapses and wets herself
13:36My little brother started crying
13:40Dad, why is brother's bracelet black?
13:42Mine is still green
13:43It's blinking
13:44A cruel irony
13:47Check the bracelet!
13:49It proves everything!
13:51I only shocked him if it was red!
13:53That was for his education!
13:55To prove he's not a killer
13:57He does something insane
13:58I'll wear it! I'll show you!
14:01He grabs the bloody bracelet
14:02He forces it onto his own wrist
14:05My blood smears on his skin
14:07Dad takes a deep breath
14:09I am William
14:11I am his dad
14:13That is the absolute truth
14:15However, a sharp noise fills the room
14:17The red light explodes
14:19It's blinding and bloody
14:20It looks like an eye watching him
14:22Dad freezes
14:23His confident face turns to stone
14:25He bangs on the bracelet
14:27Is it broken?
14:28I'm telling the truth!
14:31I am William
14:32He starts to panic
14:34The doctor must have broken it
14:36Let me try again
14:37He swallows hard and screams
14:39I never abused my child
14:41I never abused my child
14:42I did it for his own good
14:44I love him!
14:47The red light flashes even faster
14:49His heart is racing too
14:51The bracelet releases a shock
14:54Dad shudders in pain
14:56Even a small shock gives his chills
14:58He suddenly remembers
15:00When I was 10, he used the max setting
15:02I curled up on the floor
15:04I bit my lips so I wouldn't cry
15:06It turns out, it hurts this much
15:08Sorry Ron
15:09Dad loses it completely
15:15Why is it red?
15:17Why?
15:17I'm being honest!
15:18Turn green!
15:19You stupid machine!
15:20You're framing me!
15:21The light just keeps flashing red
15:23It's mocking his
15:27Enough!
15:28Stop trying
15:30He slams the manual on the table
15:33This isn't a lie detector
15:34Red means fear, fear, pain or anxiety
15:37Your heart is racing from panic
15:38Of course it's red
15:39Think about your son
15:40He had a ruptured appendix
15:41He was in unbearable agony
15:43His heart was pounding from pain
15:44The more he hurt, the more he lied
15:46So you increased the voltage
15:48The pain made the light brighter
15:50You turned his screams into a cage
15:52You electrocute him to death
15:56Dad's world collapses
15:58He stares at the flashing red light
16:00He finally gets it
16:02Every red light, for 10 years
16:04Was because I was afraid
16:06Afraid of his anger
16:07Afraid of being misunderstood
16:09I was in pain
16:11And I was desperate for his love
16:13He thought my love was a lie
16:14Dad lets out a primal wail
16:18Take it off!
16:20Get it off me!
16:21He tries to rip the bracelet off
16:23I'm not a liar!
16:25I'm not!
16:27But the lock is jammed
16:29It's stuck to his skin forever
16:31I can't get it off!
16:34Run!
16:35Take it away!
16:36I was wrong!
16:37It hurts too much!
16:40You can't handle this pain Dad?
16:43I felt this for 10 years
16:45The police opened my diary
16:4710 years of blood and tears
16:49The officer's voice is soft but heavy
16:51February sunny
16:52Dad gave me celery
16:55I'm allergic
16:56My throat swelled up
16:57I couldn't breathe
16:59I was so scared
17:01My heart raced
17:02The red light turned on
17:03Dad called me a liar
17:05He forced me to eat it all
17:06I threw up blood that night
17:08Dad thought it was just tomato juice
17:10He shocked me for 10 more minutes
17:11Dad starts shaking uncontrollably
17:13He didn't even look at me back then
17:15It wasn't juice
17:16It was blood
17:18The officer turns the page
17:19June 1st
17:21Children's Day
17:22My brother ruined Dad's dress
17:24The brother was calm
17:26His light was green
17:27I was terrified
17:28Mine was solid red
17:30Dad shocked me at level 5
17:32I didn't dare to cry
17:34Crying makes my heart go faster
17:36Then he would shock me harder
17:37Mom can't take it anymore
17:39Mom can't take it anymore
17:40The woman who ignored me for years
17:42He hits Dad across the face
17:44You monster
17:46That was your son
17:48Not an animal
17:48Dad falls to the ground
17:50It was the brother
17:52It was Sam
17:53His light was always green
17:56I trusted that light
17:58The police walk to my brother
17:59They take off his green bracelet
18:02Okay so what do we do
18:04They crack it open with a screwdriver
18:05No heart monitor
18:07No sensors
18:08Just two cheap light bulbs
18:10And a couple of batteries
18:12It's wired to stay green forever
18:13It's a $2 plastic toy
18:17It was set to green at the factory
18:19He could kill someone
18:21And stay green
18:23You were just abusing your son
18:25Dad stares at the plastic pieces
18:27The truth he killed me for
18:29It was just a cheap toy
18:30My brother's heaven was my hell
18:32I wasn't a liar
18:34I was a good kid
18:35The officer reads the last page
18:37Her voice breaks
18:39Dad if I die will the light stop?
18:42Will you finally hug me then?
18:44I'm not lying
18:46My stomach hurts
18:48Next life
18:49Please no more bracelets
18:51I just want to be a normal kid
18:57It was all fake
18:58It was all fake
19:00Everything was fake
19:06I killed my child
19:08For a toy
19:11He is gone
19:14He's truly lost his mind
19:16My neighbor posted everything online
19:18The photos showed the bracelet in my flesh
19:20The internet exploded with rage
19:22They called him
19:23The electric demon
19:25People spray painted murderer on their door
19:27Dad lost his job immediately
19:29The company fired him to save face
19:31The family went totally bankrupt
19:33Mom couldn't stand the crazy man
19:37He took the last of the money
19:38He took my brother and left forever
19:42The brother tried to keep his green bracelet
19:45Dad crushed it with his foot
19:46Dad was left all alone
19:49The house still smelled like rot
19:51His mind finally snapped
19:55He thought I was still there
19:57He refused to take off my bracelet
19:59He started to crave shocks
20:01Pain made him feel less guilty
20:03It was his own private prison
20:05I watched him go insane everyday
20:07He cooked a meal for nobody
20:09Ron, dinner's ready
20:11No celery today
20:16Everything is pork chops
20:18Your favorite
20:27Dad's heart is fast
20:28Dad is lying
