Should Have Stayed Dead Pt. 2

"Live feed initializing…"

"Welcome to the house that started it all."

Three years buried under padded walls

Waiting for the shadow in the halls

White mask waiting in the night

Halloween always comes back right

Rooftop trap in autumn rain

Final swing to end the pain

Steel comes down but doubt still spreads

Cut the wrong man’s bloody head

They called it progress

They called it fate

But every resurrection

Comes too late

Should have stayed dead

Buried in the timeline where the franchise bled

Dug up the mask on a wrong severed head

Some legends end better when they stay dead

Cheap lights hanging in a haunted set

College kids chasing internet checks

Head-cams glowing through dusty halls

Livestream ghosts on bedroom walls

Producers laughing behind the screen

Scripted fear for a Halloween stream

But something breathing inside that house

Doesn’t care for the clickbait crowds

They called it progress

They called it fate

But every resurrection

Comes too late

Should have stayed dead

Buried in the timeline where the franchise bled

Dug up the mask on a wrong severed head

Some legends end better when they stay dead

Reality show in a butchered home

Webcam ghosts in the dial-up tone

White mask waiting in his childhood lair

The boogeyman is standing there

HEAD-CAM

RED LIGHT

RUN THROUGH THE HALLWAY

DON’T LOOK BACK

FAKE MASK

REAL KNIFE

THE INTERNET WATCHES

AS THE SIGNAL CRACKS

Trick or treat —

MOTHERFUCKER

"Happy fuckin’ Halloween"

Should have stayed dead

Buried in the timeline where the franchise bled

Dug up the mask on a wrong severed head

Some legends end better when they stay dead
