all my energy
is wasted, i'm wasted
and i don't know that i can get out of the place i'm in
and i am tryna hold it all together
cause we will be together
we can hold each other close
and if i do not believe that
then i cannot believe
that anything will change until i'm dead
how am i gonna live with these eyes in the dark
when they're following me around, and following you around
and there's no where you can go that they're not there
how am i gonna live with these eyes in the dark
when they're following me around, and following you around
and there's no where you can go that they're not there
all my energy
is wasted, i'm wasted
and if we don't fight back now, i don't know if we will
cause if i think of home
then i won't be alone
and all the people there will pick me up

I rush to check my pulse
I feel it beating strong
I feel the blood within me
Remember all the dead and gone
You might've killed me once
But you won't get that chance again
Behold the put-out sun behold the bloodsoaked pouring rain
A broken team beneath you and
A league broken and burned
Come to meet your killers
Come to see you pay in turn
Step up to the plate
I'm gonna roast you like inferno roasts with hate -
With unbearable pain
I take careful aim
With arm wound back
You're in the path of a star player aflame
Reality is changing
I am being torn apart
I'm stolen from my team
But you can never steal my heart
Square up on the pitching mound
Blink twice if you can see
The turncoat Jaylen saboteur
Is signalling strike three
Step up to the plate
We're gonna crush you like a millstone crushes grain -
Incredibly fine
I glimpse the divine
With bat cocked back
You're in the path of a star player line drive
I'm not gonna lose again
I won't be your tool again
No more killing, no more pain
No more in the hall of flame
This is my redemption arc
I will be redeemed
Let all the ashes in my wake
Hem the blaseball seams
Step up to the plate
I'm gonna roast you as a god-damn reprobate -
It's time for bloodshed
This one's to the head
No holding back
You're in the path of a star player undead

violence never seemed to mean the
dirty word people claimed it to be
until i saw her take the mound
her smile spreading fear around
with bat in hand i took my stance
refusing any backward glance
i stared her down in pure defiance
inviting the incoming violence
and she struck me
now i’m switching in and out of my
daydreams
all the nightmares that i’ve tried to keep in-
side me
are pushing their way outside
and the voices
of the ones she’s taken happily ring
joyless
in my head as i miss my swing guess my
choice is
somewhere between my violent past and
my new team
the dugout calls me over so i
turn away from hell closing my eyes
the demons there aren’t half as bad
as the idol they brought back
but i feel assurance behind me
a whisper of of violence, supportive and guiding
and from up close that smile of fear
away from the fans gives way to tears
and she struck me
now i’m switching in and out of my
daydreams
all the nightmares that i’ve tried to keep in
side me
are pushing their way outside
and the faces
of the ones she took unwittingly come
racing
in my head as i see her crumble guess my
choice is
somewhere between my violent past and
my new team
she always steps out on the field
and shows the whole world that she feels
okay
when she’s not okay
her team’s the only ones who get to see
she’s breaking apart from all the pain she brings was
this worth it
is she worth it
now she’s struck me
and she’s switching in and out of my
daydreams
all the nightmares that i’ve fought to keep in-
side me
are melting when i look into her eyes
and the fire
of the ones she’s lost so brutally burns
brighter
in my heart as i see her fight guess my
choice is
somewhere between my violent past and
my new team
and she’s struck me
now she’s switching in and out of her
home team
and she’s staring down the god who’s cost her
everything
and refusing to back down
and the echoes of the ones that we’ve all lost begin to
ring low
through the mic as she disappears guess my
choice is
somewhere between my violent past and
the null team

unfair deal
03:44
|
|
||
|
And down they came
They served us all our heads
On a spike
We burnt in flame
With nothing left to do
Except to die
That’s when we realised
We had an unfair deal
Seeing us struggle there
She sent her lackey squid
Put up a friendly front
And shake their tentacles,
we did
We were alone and scared
We signed an unfair deal
Break away from the lies
They are as bad as he was
We said we’d fight the gods
And we meant all the gods
Punch squids up in the face
Tear up the unfair deal

curse of crows

i'm not here for you
though i have so much to avenge
but if you look above us
they are ready to descend
they are very hungry
and they are very loud
have you ever seen this many
come out to a crowd?
and when they all descend
don't blame me for what they do
though i can't conceal my anger
and i have no love for you
i might somehow give in
show you mercy you don't deserve
but they have no reservations
and they're ready to be served
now there are so many birds
and they don't want blood
and they don't seek justice
but they will set us free, and they won't hear your pleas
there are just so many birds
and they won't show mercy
and they won't feel pity
and you will get your just rewards when the final run is scored
where did they all come from?
when did they appear?
they might have come for you
they might have smelled your fear
you can't run for safety
you've already struck out
and underneath the screeching calls
i won't hear you shout
we have entered extra innings
and this could be the last
the sun is nearly gone
feathers thick as overcast
and if i somehow give in
to show you kindness you don't deserve
they have no reservations
but they're ready to be served
now there are so many birds
and they don't want blood
and they don't seek justice
but they will set us free, and they won't hear your pleas
there are just so many birds
and they won't show mercy
and they won't feel pity
and you will get your just rewards when the final run is scored

peace and prosperity

Now that the gods have been and gone
Now we've fought and won
Now that the gods have been and gone
And we're all but done
In this age of Peace and Prosperity,
We'll see unity?
Do we need an enemy? A foe to beat? Do we fight, just to be happy?
Where do we go from here?
Now we're in the clear
Nothing left to fear
Where do we go?
In this age of Peace and Prosperity,
We'll see unity?
Do we need an enemy? A foe to beat? Do we fight, just to be happy?

the death of god(s)

a warning, a flash
the sun goes dark, a sequel cast
her cunning, her fame
our pitcher's warmed up, start the game
the peanuts, the stars
a battle for this splort of ours
a warning, a flash
that peanut will be turned to ash
and i
don't know if i'll die
but the fliiiickkerrriiinnggg runs in my veins
i'll feedback, i won't hesitate
they're mine
new gods get in line
at season's end, the hall comes back
it all leads to, it all ends in
the death of god
so donn your glove
and bring your bat
its time has come
there's not much left
now check your pulse
and max your stats
its time has come
a lie
a deal to survive
the league has sold, the boss now reigns
another foe to burn in flames
so fine
won't waste my fucking time
the nut is gone, a warmup match
it all leads to, it all ends in
the death of god
so shine your glove
and spike your bat
her time has come
she's just a hack
now check your blood
and pack your bags
her time has come
just wipe the blood
off of your hat
their time is out
we're up at bat...
it all leads to
it all leads to
it all leads to
it all leads to
it all leads to, it all ends in
it all leads to, it all ends in
the death of god!

a warning
04:42

what do you know about fairness?
is "fair" for the highest bidder?
do you blame us for their mess?
are we really all winners?
what do you know about investment?
be honest, are we your cash cows?
or is this set for recession?
what do you twist in your favor now?
you'll find we're a ruthless bunch
and we're often correct when we have a hunch
if the last few years were proof enough
then you and I both know what's on our minds
we're here to ask our new owner:
something in that deal isn't disclosed
is this a hostile takeover?
if so, there's something that you should know:
this is a warning from us to you
now that our end of the deal is due
if you've got some hell to put us through
you know what happened last time, don't you?
we've done it once and we'll do it again
no one will die in your name but you
so if you think about bringing the end
just rest assured it will be yours too

stars of the hall

Leaves blow through the hall we've once
Filled with life
But now everyone
left bats, gloves and cleats behind
The stars of the halls are gone
The shelled one's reign is over
The stars of the halls are gone
Remember the friends we lost
On their way to claim a base
We took back what was ours all along
We had our thumbs, we had our bats
What could go wrong?
And now our flaming squad has been laid to rest
Call off the search, they left the field
For good this time
Their final out
Their biggest win
Above and below the line
The stars of the halls are gone
The shelled one's reign is over
The stars of the halls are gone
Remember the friends we lost
On their way to claim a base
We took back - what was ours all along
We had our thumbs, we had our bats
What could go wrong?
And now our flaming squad - has been laid to rest

crashing

giant shells in a dark world
inside the jaws of death you might find a pearl
drawn only from the darkness at the end of the year
used only to strike fear
feeling team spirit course through me
like blood in my arteries
red and blue together make the purple of the sky
was it all for nothing, all for nothing, to feel this pride
cuz now we're crashing back to earth after it all
cuz now we're crashing back to earth after it all
i'd say there's nothing like a god to make you feel small
cuz now we're crashing back to earth after it all
i hit the ground and feel my bones break
could you tell me what on earth it'll take
to get back to the way that things used to be
to get back to me
cuz now we're crashing back to earth after it all
cuz now we're crashing back to earth after it all
i'd say there's nothing like a god to make you feel small
cuz now we're crashing back to earth after it all
cuz now we're crashing back to earth after it all
cuz now we're crashing back to earth after it all
i'd say there's nothing like a god to make you feel small
because i've crashed back to earth

bet you think you’re tough
a big old god come down from up high
think we got it rough
but you miss a lot when you’re way up in the sky
cause we’ve been makin deals with
the devil you can’t see
you wanna play with idols
try a taste of equity
we may not look like much we
may start from nothing but we
got way more spirit than a
nut who thinks he’s god
you don’t know anything bout
the mess you’ve started now
best get your weapons ready
cause we are tearing down your walls
tell us to submit
you’re not the only one who gets to make plans
no we won’t remit
you’re the one who’ll pay for the blood on your hands
you’ve had a decent run
we’ll concede that much to you
but you’re blocking out the sun
and we’re tired of the view
we may not look like much we
may start from nothing but we
got way more spirit than a
nut who thinks he’s god
you don’t know anything bout
the mess you’ve started now
best get your weapons ready
cause we are tearing down your walls

if i don’t kill you the first time, I will kill you the second time
if you don’t kill me the first time, I will kill you the second time
‘cause I’ve been burned many times before
now i’ve learned not to take any more
of your love
do you remember the day that we met
it’s a day i tried so hard to forget
it was a fire that you set in my heart with a single look
is it your ire i regret, or that i opened the book
i swore that i’d get even with you
no matter chances it took
if i don’t kill you the first time, I will kill you the second time
if you don’t kill me the first time, I will kill you the second time
‘cause I’ve been burned many times before
now i’ve learned not to take any more
of your love
i remember the lessons i learned
do you forget all the ways that i burned for you
in the seasons that turned from the summer of my fall
i sent legions to burn where i suffered in the hall
i swore that i’d earned a victory from you
no matter who i struck with the ball
you ask for worship like you think we cannot tell
everyone you take in your arms you leave a hollow shell
if i don’t kill you the first time, I will kill you the second time
after you killed me the first time, after you killed me the second time
‘cause I’ve been burned many times before
now i’ve learned not to take any more
of your love

Oliver Notarobot is a good human man
He couldn't pitch, now he hits it and he does what he can
First a Moist Talker he started shining when he moved to the Crabs
One of their favourites, won the league and then Seattle's calling back
And he said
*OLL-E Speaking*
Hello it is I, Oliver Notarobot, Batter for the Seattle Garages. I love all my fans and Blaseball is such a passion to me. I am so glad to be here. Some people say that I am a robot though, and that is strange since i am human
Swing Ollie swing
Swing until you will be crowned Seattle's hitting king
Then we win the Internet Series ring
Run Ollie run
Run so far and fast until you will destroy the sun
Cause this flesh boy is our favourite one
Oliver Notarobot has a blaseball studies degree
And did I tell you he's an advocate for accessibility?
He hates them CAPTCHAs like no one else cause he really struggles to read
This Notarobot kills fascists with his built-in drum machine
And he said
*OLL-E Speaking*
It's me Ollie again, and I am proud to tell you all that I am an android. Seeing Pitching Machine out there and noticing androids can play blaseball really made me brave enough to tell you all about who I really am. I hope you all accept the the true me
Swing Ollie swing
Swing until you will be crowned Seattle's hitting king
Then we win the Internet Series ring
Run Ollie run
Run so far and fast until you will destroy the sun
Cause this flesh boy is our favourite one
I think that somethings up
Is Ollie really who we thought he was/
Swing Ollie swing
Swing until you will be crowned Seattle's hitting king
Then we win the Internet Series ring
Run Ollie run
Run so far and fast until you will destroy the sun
Cause this flesh boy is our favourite one
And oh wait our flesh boy is an android

hall pass

I watched you on the field practicing with your team
I watched you as you pitch with your eyes all agleam
I watched you in the hall - can you sense a theme
but once I let you out of my sight, it feels like a bad bad dream
I think about you every day
I didn’t think you were the type to cut class
why’d you have to run away
you should’ve come to me for a hall pass (2x)
I reach out to you through the abyss
I call out to you and it sounds like a hiss
how can I go on living like this
of all the names in the hall, you’re the only one that I miss
I think about you every day
I didn’t think you were the type to cut class
why’d you have to run away
you should’ve come to me for a hall pass
I never figured you were gonna roam
but now I’m watching in the dark
waiting just for you to come home

i been fighting in the shadows almost every day
but i had to get back so i could punch your face
just the wimpiest, awful-est gods around
from the top of the needle to the seattle ground
i said “i’m coming home, i’ll make it fast,
it’s been really tough, but this too shall pass”
and when you see me, you’ll yell:
“mike townsend is back!”
it’s been a long walk home but i’m finally here
i battled my demons and i have faced my fears
but i’m back in the city, and i’m feeling fine
but i’m gonna feel better when your fist meets mine
you said “you better watch out, you’ll be under attack”
but mikey’s here, and i’ve gotten real fast
and when you see me you’ll yell:
“mike townsend is back!”
you say, “mikey, what’s up with your throwing hand?”
i said i’d come back with some brand new plans
i’m throwing my best, and i’m giving my all,
cause i got a brand new signature fastball!
you’re looking at me like i’m a brand new mike
and something has happened so i think you’re half right
but the old mike’s here, and he’s ready to play
if you want my signature, you’ll get it after the game
“he’s throwing real good, do you think it’s an act?”
i say, “i’ll throw this one curved, and i’ll throw this one flat!”
and when you see me you’ll yell:
“mike townsend is back!”
and also i learned how to solo!
they’ll be feeling down, if you know what i mean
getting taken out by this credit to the team
they’re gonna lose some, and then they’ll lose it all
when i bend over and i pick up that ball
cause mike is here, and that is that
with pitches that are slow, and pitches that are fast
and when you see me you’ll yell:
“mike townsend is back”
