Let Down — Wyatt Sumner

Intro

Alastor:
(Singing with a slight crack in his radio static)
Poor souls that I’ve failed...
Don't let me fall!
The static is fading, the shadows grow tall.
I promised a sanctuary, a seat at the feast,
But I’ve only awakened the hunger of the beast.
I watched as the crimson stained your golden thread,
While I kept my secrets and stayed silent instead.
Wy, my reflection, my double, my pride...
I stood by and watched while you shriveled inside.
The smile is a mask, but the porcelain is thin,
Feeling the weight of the rot deep within.
Oh, I let you down!
I let the curtain drop before the final act.
I broke the one vow that I swore to keep intact.
In the garden of carnage, I let the thorns play,
Oh, the amount of people my sins display.
I’m the king of the broadcast, the host of the show,
But I’ve buried the ones that I love down below.

Verse 2

They screamed for a savior, they looked to the sky,
But all they received was a wink of my eye!
The Hotel is burning, the foundations crack,
There’s no turning over, there’s no coming back.
I fed them to monsters to see how they’d fight,
Now I’m the only one left in the light!

Bridge

(Spoken, distorted)
Smile, Wy... the audience is watching.
But why is it so hard to see through the blood?
Yes, I let you down!
I let the curtain drop before the final act.
I broke the one vow that I swore to keep intact.
In the garden of carnage, I let the thorns play,
Oh, the amount of people my sins display.

Outro

Poor souls that I’ve failed...
The signal is dead.
I’ve painted the world...
In a permanent red.
(Static hiss... silence)
