00:03He left the signal
00:10And they still didn't listen
00:22He posted the moon like a scream in the dark
00:27Sat in the water that would swallow him whole
00:31Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
00:35Then the caped comic never spoke again
00:38The friend who joked first left the map in plain sight
00:43Projected the light on the ceiling and sky
00:46Said I've got the streets tonight
00:49While the circle of six kept laughing on screen
00:54October blood moon, harvest night
00:58The old gods still collect what they're owed
01:02He bargained young for the spotlight and fame
01:06Do whatever you want, just make me known
01:09The signal was lit and nobody came
01:13The water closed over under the same red flame
01:17They sold you the story of pills in the fall
01:21But the moon and the post and the timing say
01:24All the caped comic is gone
01:27The friend who left first
01:29The one who said he'd be the first to leave
01:32Now the truth rises
01:34Screaming from the steam of that tub
01:36And the ones who know
01:41Already believed
01:49They found him exactly where the last photo lived
01:52Same water, same night, same glowing sky
01:56Cranberries once, then the light on the pumpkin
01:59The red glow burning like a warning high
02:03He wrote the final chapter and called it the signal
02:07Said if the dark came close, he'd light up the night
02:10The posts were a breadcrumb trail in the dark
02:14While the city of stars kept its silence tight
02:19Sam Haynes' door ripped wide open
02:23Hunters' moon hanging blood red and bold
02:27They still keep the old ways in the city of gold
02:30When the calendar turns
02:33The sacrifice is sold
02:35The signal was lit
02:37And nobody came
02:39The water closed over under the same red flame
02:42They sold you the story
02:45The pills in the fall
02:46But the moon and the post and the timing say
02:50All the caped comic is gone
02:52The friend who left first
02:54The one who said he'd be the first to leave
02:58Now the truth rises
02:59Screaming from the steam of the tub
03:01And the ones who know
03:05Already believe
03:17Look at the calendar
03:20Look at the posts
03:21Look at the show
03:22Where the drowning was joked
03:25Look at the bargain
03:26He made in the dark
03:28Look at the night
03:30When the hunters embarked
03:32October heaps taken
03:34The shining ones down
03:36The tops and the pools
03:38And the silent towns
03:39He left the map in neon
03:41For the few who still see
03:43Who watch the sky
03:45When the blood moon is free?
03:53The original
03:54Seen there was a living
03:55Still nobody came
03:57The water closed over under that ancient flame
04:01They sold you the story
04:03Pills in the fall
04:04With the moon and the post and the timing say
04:08All the caped comic is gone
04:10The friend who left first
04:12The one who sent one last silent call
04:15Now the truth stands naked
04:17Those with the eyes and the ones who know
04:23Already know why
