How to Save Us
So come with me,
we'll all go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
Yes, the Big Rock
Candy Mountains
There's a land
that's fair and bright
Where the handouts
grow on bushes
And you sleep
out every night
Hello?
Where have you been?
Oh just, just had to work
on the will, what's up?
What's up, our little brother is
Still missing.
Well I mean you left him there.
I'm not making any of this up.
Oh God, why won't
you believe me?
Well, they're
saying it's a virus.
You sure you and Sam
didn't just hallucinate
All this ghost stuff
when you were there?
So, what, did I hallucinate
My broken leg and the
claw marks on my back too?
No come, that's not
what I'm saying, okay,
I'm just saying that
sounds an awful lot
Like Sam's big imagination
going into overdrive here.
Because having an imagination
Is just such a
terrible thing, Dad.
All right come on,
look, after all this sh*t
I've been going
through, with the will,
You really think that I
still regret Dad's death?
The only thing I regret
about our parents dying
Is that I didn't get to
tell Dad to go F himself
Before he died.
Okay now, I will go to
Tasmania and I will bring
Our little brother
home, you understand me?
Fine.
Just bring him home.
Fine.
Why isn't the
government talking about it?
We know Tasmania is
quarantined, sure but,
What is being quarantined?
What if it is all
just a cover up?
Or worse, what if we're
dealing with something
The military doesn't
even understand?
Oh come on,
the entire state of Tasmania
Evacuated for what, testing?
People have died.
Nah but,
people have gone missing.
Have you seen any
bodies, I don't know.
Now maybe they found
something, I'm telling you,
Maybe we're dealing with an
enemy here that can't be seen.
You see,
this is exactly the sort of
Conspiracy that brought
these people to doing
Wretched and horrible things.
It's this nonsense
that gets people killed
On a grand scale.
Tell the, it's been,
Like days, and we haven't
heard a thing,.
An entire state is empty.
When is someone gonna
tell us the truth?
And what is the truth?
Aliens, secret testing?
See that's just
it, it could be anything.
There's a lot of people like
And pretend like
nothing is happening,
That nothing is wrong,
May be on a path to extinction
if this is left unchecked.
Extinction, please.
The military says
there's a virus,
And they're containing it.
That is enough for me, I'm
well, my family is well,
I have no interest in digging
up something that could
Cost me or any other fellow
Australians their lives.
I say this is the military's
problem, let the military
Handle it, okay?
Hey Sam, It's Molly.
My friend and I are here,
we're at your cabin.
It doesn't look like
you've been here for weeks.
Oh God where are you?
Look, I'm sorry to
just show up like this,
But I really need
you to come home,
So we can figure everything out.
I understand why you've
run away from all this
And I'm really trying
to support you,
But if the three of
us just finished this,
Then we can all finally
move on with our lives.
Anyway, please call me
back when you get this.
I love you Sam.
Did you get
a hold of Brian today?
Is he gonna meet you out
here if you can't find Sam?
No.
I don't know where he is.
But Brian, he just
doesn't even care.
He used to be the
sweetest guy ever.
Like he would cry if
someone killed a bird.
Oh my God, he has just
become such an a**hole.
I can't even remember
the last time he said,
"I love you."
What the hell is that?
I don't know.
Molly, we need to go!
We need to get
back to the cabin.
Sam, where are you Sam?
Where are you?
The news calls it a virus.
But Sam explains it differently.
January 24th, I received
a package from Sam
Two weeks ago,
asking me to return
To our family's
old vacation spot.
This is a message in a bottle
for humanity, he calls it.
Now first things first.
If you going out
into their territory
You have to make yourself
invisible to them.
Ash from the dead
conceals your presence
When they are near, never
leave home without it.
Surround the
perimeter of wherever
You may camp with
the ash as well,
It helps throw off your scent.
And make sure not to
stay at any spot longer
Than a night or two.
If you're ever unsure
of their presence,
Remember that they
communicate with one another
Using some sort of radio wave.
You can pick up their chatter
using a low-frequency radio.
But very rarely
will you actually
Hear them, and more
commonly you'll pick up
Ghost radio waves,
this will let you know
You're in the clear.
And if your radio should
fail you for any reason,
There is one other step
you can take to observe
Their presence.
Any camera with infrared
can pick them up,
They seem to be formed of light
That the naked eye can't see,
Some type of energy.
They don't seem to have
a physical presence.
But perhaps almost a
form of light radiation,
Or a soul.
If you're here in
Tasmania, you are in
Enemy territory.
Never let your guard down.
The frequency of
them seems to depend
On how many people
have died in the area,
And don't confuse this with
where people are buried,
Graveyards actually
seem to be safe houses,
And in closing, ,
Keep your use of
electricity to a minimum,
As it seems to attract
or even spawn them.
They seem to feed off of it.
He didn't seem sure
who would receive
This message, but, for
Is what he says true?
He claimed he'd keep
moving and survive
For as long as he could
until he was rescued.
Do I still have
time to find him?
I met a girl the other night
In fact she was divine
She lived out in the country
Three miles from
the river line
I called to see
her the other night
Stayed late, I missed my train
Her Pa discovers me
And throws me
right out in the rain
I got right up and walked
and walked and walked
And walked and walked
I did not have her number
Or else I would
not have had hope
Put down my head and in my bed
Put all my hope
throughout my test
And got right up
and walked along
And walked, and
walked and walked
See that girl was by my side
Least I now know,
And I ain't say
call all over us
My girl jumped in the air
She sits on the rooftop
Good evening everybody,
Tonight's guest is Sam Everett,
A poor unfortunate soul
searching for his parents
Even though they're
already dead.
But then what are
you gonna find?
What brings,
You're not looking in
the right places, buddy.
We're halfway outside your house
At this very moment, waiting
to give you a big hug!
We don't bite Sam,
Now throw that crown upside down
And let us in buddy!
I've traveled east,
I've traveled west
I've been in every state
A member of the
knights of rest
With dues paid up to date
There's just two
things that I despise
Two things I always shirk
The first thing
is a cake of soap
The other one is work
