TETO KNOWS SOMETHING feat. Kasane Teto and Hayden

What's really going on here? - Please stay 'til the end of the video for a little announcement and a reveal of the next part :) (Also checked the pinned comment for info on the streaming version because I ran into some problems with the stores lmao) - Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/nineaetharia SECOND CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@twoaetharia - LYRICS TETO I wake from a dream Or perhaps from a nightmare My consciousness blurs at the seams I swallow a scream Recompose my composure and posture Repose from extremes It's always the same vision every night A pit of despair and an absence of light A consolidation of horrible frights And one would-be corpse sitting just out of sight ??? And the taste of rotting flesh in my mouth TETO I phone a friend and trust that he'll be at my window It's 3 AM but I have certainty that he'll show He has a way of making things just happen, you know Bring to heel the impossible 'Cause he has powers HAYDEN I just run fast TETO ... Baka HAYDEN Are your ghosts back again? They seem to haunt the minds of the residents here now and then I can't quite comprehend Their attendance or what the significance their visits portend TETO Are the dreams they witness the same as mine? HAYDEN As far as I know TETO Is this all spontaneous or all by design? HAYDEN Beats me TETO Are they by a force sinister or benign? HAYDEN I...don't actually know TETO Are they of an entity damned or divine? ??? It depends on what perspective you tout HAYDEN There's only so much I learned from my parents, you know This city hushes up its past to let its wealth flow The rest I learned from what the water wanted to show I just know there's something wrong With this open mouth of a town and its bloodstained teeth Feel the yawn of its hunger beneath my feet There's an anguish that carved out its joyous streets Horror drowned out by careful deceit Desperation and fear courses through its veins In the depths of its throat, something rattles its chains Bound and collared for everyone's selfish gain Crying out until it goes insane TETO I'm...gonna find it TOWN CHOIR Please don't, please don't Look away, look away, It's better if the status quo is how the status stays TETO I'm gonna find it TOWN CHOIR Please don't, please don't Look away, look away The suffering of one is better than this town's decay TETO The disappearances began with the disaster of a sinkhole taking half the town in 1927 Thousands of people never found after some mining shafts collapsed and the site was declared too risky for rescue missions Though Sommervane rebuilt and somehow prospered despite all the odds, the missing persons rate still remained concerning A yearly average of a hundred people, mostly visitors, who vanish into thin air and the townsfolk say nothing HAYDEN Hey, maybe you should be careful TETO and DOLL choir This mouth of a town and its bloodstained teeth Feel the yawn of its hunger beneath my feet There's an anguish that's carved out its joyous streets Horror drowned out by careful deceit Desperation and fear courses through its veins In the depths of its throat, something rattles its chains Bound and collared for everyone's selfish gain Crying out until it goes insane And I'm gonna find it TOWN CHOIR Please don't DOLL CHOIR Please don't look away TOWN CHOIR Look away It's better if the status quo is how the status stays Please don't DOLL CHOIR Please don't look away TOWN CHOIR Look away The suffering of one is better than this town's decay TETO This is my childhood home I became who I am here But I just can't ignore the malaise that underscores my whole life in fear It's like the foundation of this town is rotten to the bone MAMA KENNERLY Hayden, darling What are you doing? Haven't I told you to have care what friends you're keeping? This town is your home You are its, and it's yours Your gifts are a harvest of the seeds we have been planting TETO This is my childhood home I became who I am here I love it enough to risk myself if it means my friends are safe here To build something warm and secure on a place built on old blood and bone There's a curse on this town, borne of love and hate One created by grief, one made by twisting fate It was forged out of fear and a need to escape Death and ruin after tragedy so great Pick a child with the gift to reshape the world Tie her down, lock her up, somewhere she can't be heard Have her mind build the town, her heart keep its wealth firm Keep this secret, to violence absurd HAYDEN and TOWN CHOIR This open mouth of a town and its bloodstained teeth Feel the yawn of its hunger beneath my feet There's an anguish that's carved out its joyous streets Horror drowned out by careful deceit Desperation and fear courses through its veins In the depths of its throat, something rattles its chains Bound and collared for everyone's selfish gain Crying out until it goes insane
