My dearest love, I miss you so
I’m writing you from Moab
It’s dusty where I stay
And the walls seem thin
I can hear their din
Today
The siesta has been good to me
Brought me and you a child or three
But you know I’ve got to leave
The fans all scream
I must rejoin the team
Alone
I know they talk of violence
From the gods
But I’ll be alright
I swear
I’ve missed the fans acclaiming every word
I’ve missed the way we all seem so absurd
But most of all I’ve missed my friends and laughing every night
The game’s been good to me, and I swear I’ll be good back
So we’re back on base again and there’s a joy in all our veins
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
The gods seem to like it and the umps are playing fair
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
We’re alright
The weather’s always perfect, clear and blue
What that means for us, I’ve got no clue
It’s fine for now and that’s all that I need to do my job
I’ve just got to get my head down, give the fans what they deserve
So we’re back on base again and there’s a joy in all our veins
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
The gods seem to like it and the umps are playing fair
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
We’re alright
I’m lost without you
I’m lost without you my dear
It’s been nice, but it still doesn’t feel like home
Just gotta make it to the end of the season
Still I’ve missed the fans acclaiming every word
I’ve missed the way we all seem so absurd
But most of all I’ve missed my friends and laughing every night
The game’s been good to me, and I swear I’ll be good back
So we’re back on base again and there’s a joy in all our veins
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
The gods seem to like it and the umps are playing fair
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
We’re alright

It’s a good day to piss on the gods
To steal their Camaro
And drive it off a cliff into a pool
Yeah that would rule
It’s a good day to stare at the sun
To flip it the bird with each hand
And say its music taste is trash
And it can kiss our ass
It’s a good day
To vote in a decree
And make a total mess of this whole damn league
So let’s show up to the polls
And show them anarchy
If I don’t know the limits, how am I gonna break them?
If you think that we’re kidding, well then you’re sorely mistaken
I came here kick ass and chew gum and open books
In the language of splort
“Routine” means “Vicious”
“Book” is “Cuisine”
“Forbidden” = “Delicious”
So you better watch out cuz we know how to cook
Forget the blases, forget going home
We’re just hungry to rip into that goddamned tome
And if you don’t lay off, parker, you’ll be next
[solo]
The players are restless, they’re all starting fires
Every game is the same, we’re just baseball for liars
It’s our first season back, but the fun has expired
We’re all sick of the daylight, light up the pyre
All rules are made to be broken
And all forbidden books are made to be opened
So send my love to the stands, cuz we’re tearing them down

And when we opened the book
The skies went black
The umps eyes turned white
Behind their masks
Jaylen
Took the hit
For our hubris
Never forget
She marked the day
Everything had changed
Peace has passed
And now we know
The first
Ain't the last
And when we opened the book
The skies went black
The umps eyes turned white
Behind their masks
And now we know
The first
Ain't the last
Eclipse
For days and days
And one by one
Our heroes fell
They gave their lives
For those left behind
Violence has passed
And now we know
Anyone
Falls to the flame
And when we opened the book
The skies went black
The umps eyes turned white
Behind their masks
And now we know
Anyone
Falls to flame
And one day you will wake
And from the ashes of Phoenix will rise
She'll hit like a champ
And burn out bright before your eyes.
And every team will have one,
A tiana cash or two
You might not know their names
But one day they'll all leave you
They'll all leave you
They'll all leave you
When we opened the book
The skies went black
The umps eyes turned white
Behind their masks
And now we know
Now we know
Some day
They'll all
Leave you

My name is Derrick Krueger
The fans call me Der
Or they would, if I had fans
They said that when I grew up
I could be anything
So I up and joined the band
Proud of every strike I throw
Write ‘em down in a ledger that’s nowhere near full
And when I’m jamming out with the team it’s easy to forget
I’m not the one, not the one they’re cheering for
I take my coffee black
I love Arthur C Clarke
I’m more than what I lack
I’m ready to start
Every day I get lost in the thoughts
That haunt my head when I wake up
Did I sleep through the only years I have
For a future I don’t
I guess that’s just the way it goes
(No loss, no disappointment)
Sometimes that’s just the way it goes
(No loss, no disappointment)
Chills settle over the outfield
Another mediocre game with no return on yield
Nobody looking up from their phones
As the eyes in the dark glow bright
Another light another light goes out
The smell of ash and pitch
the sound of nails on wood
The taste of salty air
The feeling that I could
I guess I’ll never hear my name rain down
From over the stands
I guess I’ll never see myself redeemed
In the eyes of the fans
I'm fine, that’s just the way it goes
(No loss, no disappointment)
Sometimes that’s just the way it goes
(No loss, no disappointment)
We’re not a team,
we’re protagonists
But who’s writing the story?
And will I make it in?
Is this all that I am
At the end of the day
One more name for the ticker
One less lousy garage pitcher
As the sky grows dim
Tell them I did my best
I was funny and kind
Please don’t let them forget
I’m sorry I couldn’t make the grade
When my body burns out
Will my name still fade away?
(Just one more chance at the mound
Just one more day in the sun
Will you wish I was around
When all is said and done?)
Sometimes that’s just the way it goes
(No loss, no disappointment)
I guess that’s just the way it goes
(No loss, no disappointment)

(RESTRAINT?! These fans don’t know the meaning of the word! With the book open and the umps fired up The Shelled one has demanded we learn discipline! But fans and players alike have declared war on the gods! That's right, every single god! Oh, they've really done it now! We are bound to see some risky plays this season! STRIKE ONE!)
You're gonna light us on fire
And expect nothing to happen
Like it doesn't matter
That's not the way this works
You can't just lift the ones we love
Away from us
Like it doesn't matter
Cause then we get angry
And everyone you know
Is going to feel it
And we will find a way to take the
Stairs to up above
And we won't talk of love
We're gonna get violent
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
And we're gonna win
And we will get our vengeance in the end
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
And we're gonna win
And nothing will remain the same again
And our redemption arc is coming up
Yeah, i bet you feel frightened
You feel it coming like a wave
A million droplets
Making up an ocean
You know what would be fun?
If we put out the sun
We're coming to get you
Cause now that we're angry
Everyone you know
Is going to feel it
And we will find a way to get the
Train up to the sky
Cause we're not asking "Why?"
We're asking for justice
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
And we're gonna win
And we will get our vengeance in the end
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
And we're gonna win
And nothing will remain the same again
And our redemption arc is coming up
Fight gods, Fight gods
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
And we're gonna win
And we will get our vengeance in the end
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
We're gonna fight gods, fight gods
And we're gonna win
And nothing will remain the same again
And our redemption arc is coming up

Nut Economy
02:04

You ask for our collective action when it benefits your cause
Crack open another peanut without taking any pause
You said this is what we wanted it’s all that we voted for
But how could we have know what was truly in store
Oh does it really satisfy you to hear that ticker whine
The momentary dopamine of an upward trending line
We really do not follow the fair trade your mind contrives
Could any number of peanuts be worth 17 lives?
Oh that’s the nut economy
Just keep buying more peanuts until they set us free
Oh that’s the nut economy
Doesn’t make sense to me
You can request our atonement you can beg that we repent
But your words can’t outweigh the messages your actions sent
You’ve taken more from us than you’ve given in return
So we’ll topple what you’ve built and seize what we’ve earned
And you’ll try to brand us cheaters for taking from your stock
While you claim you’re actions lawful as you write the rules ad hoc
So we'll take all your worthless peanuts and we’ll crush them into dirt
We'll paint all your line graph red as we show you our true worth
In this nut economy
Just keep taking more peanuts until we can break free
From this nut economy
Never made sense to me
Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go up
Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go up
Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go up
Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go up

I want you to know
That I love you all
But I have to step in
I might as well let a babe fall
In my arms I’ll care for you
I’ve only got your best interest at heart
Don’t question what it is I do
I birthed this world
I could end it too
So don’t play dumb with me
Or I’ll start anew
In my arms I’ll care for you
I’ve only got your best interest at heart
Don’t question what it is I do
In my arms I’ll care for you
I’ve only got your best interest at heart
Don’t question what it is I do

(BLASPHEMY! The economy is in chaos! We are living in the aftermath, as a cabal of fans were caught stealing an uncountable number of peanuts. Oh, they've really done it now! The blaseball gods do not seem happy with this one. Blaseball may be inevitable, but if these peanut cheaters don't repent, could this be the death of splortsmanship forever? STRIKE TWO!)
It was a beautiful day in Los Angeles
When the Thieves came round to play
Except for all the crows in our way
As they left the bus we smiled
Whilst the fans, well, they went all wild
With Rat Polk laughing all the way
Ooh
No one burns under this clear sky
Ooh
Whilst it’s blue no one has to die
It’s a simple, fun game today
But it’s a league game so we really need to win
Each player hopes they hit a Grand Slam
But it won’t be me, I’m a loser and a total disgrace
I’m just Wyatt Mason
Out to bat I go and I’m swaying to and fro
They know what I’m liable to do
I think I’ve got it now, and so I hit the ball somehow
I watch a triple fly away
Ooh
Maybe this is my brand new start
Ooh
Maybe I can find a place in their hearts
Witness a change in me today
It’s still a league game and we really need the win
Each player hopes they’ll hit a grand slam
And it might be me, I’m not a loser or a total disgrace
I’m just Wyatt Mason

I can see the truth in your eyes
As you're telling me lies
Like you know that you'll hold my hand again (I'll hold your hand again)
Cause you don't know you will
But I know how you feel
And I don't know if I can watch you walk out on the field
And there's the lightning strike
Across the pitch-black night
And I wanna hold you close, but I can't
I don't wanna let you go
In the feedback
Cause I don't know I'd get you back
Yeah, I don't know I'd get you back
I don't wanna let you go
In the feedback
Cause I don't know I'd get you back
Yeah, I don't know I'd get you back
I can feel you pull away from me
I can feel you retreat
"Duty calls" you say, and then it's
All of the eyes on the pitcher throwing
And it's all of the eyes on the way it's going
And you hit the ball, and then it's out of our hands
And there's the lightning strike
Across the pitch-black night
And I wanna hold you close, but I can't
I don't wanna let you go
In the feedback
Cause I don't know I'd get you back
Yeah, I don't know I'd get you back
I don't wanna let you go
In the feedback
Cause I don't know I'd get you back
Yeah, I don't know I'd get you back
And there's the lightning strike
Across the pitch-black night
And then the smoke obscures
The place where you once stood
And when it clears, you're just not there
I don't wanna let you go
In the feedback
Cause I don't know I'd get you back
Yeah, I don't know I'd get you back
I don't wanna let you go
In the feedback
Cause I don't know I'd get you back
Yeah, I don't know I'd get you back

Gold they promised us
But I guess
We didn’t keep our end of the deal
The line between the vain
And humble lays
Wherever the rulers feel
But you introduced us to god
And you told us that we could pick lots
But you didn’t like when we saw ourselves as strong
Now you’re mad that we chose our own way
While up on your mountain you stayed
Is it any surprise that we’ll become our own gods
Caged us for the crime
Of simply tryin
To pull ourselves up out of hell
It seems we have to look
Like some ancient book
Decides can’t break out of our shells
But you introduced us to god
And you told us that we could pick lots
But you didn’t like when we saw ourselves as strong
Now you’re mad that we chose our own way
While up on your mountain you stayed
Is it any surprise that we’ll become our own gods
We ripped your holy book in two
By simply tryna learn how to be like you
But you looked down on us
Called us dishonest
And now you punish
Take our strongest then
Go on defence
Guess we’ll have to get stronger
But you introduced us to god
And you told us that we could pick lots
But you didn’t like when we saw ourselves as strong
Now you’re mad that we chose our own way
While up on your mountain you stayed
Is it any surprise that we’ll become our own gods

The Doctor says we can bring you back, forbidden knowledge paves the way.
Oh it's vile, it's wrong and it's inhumane.
But what would you do if you were in our position
Would you not rescue those you love, turned to ash and dust?
We reach into the void, to drag you out.
Nothing can stop us now
Reform the flesh and bone, pull the spirit back
Our Destiny is our to control
Raising the dead is not a simple task.
No matter how it stains us, the power is in our hands.
Lest you forget that you could be next, would you rather be rescued
Or stay another name in the hall.
We reach into the void, to drag you out.
Nothing can stop us now
Reform the flesh and bone, pull the spirit back
Our Destiny is our to control

When you decide to raise me from the dead
I rise

You didn't even ask me what I wanted
Just assumed I would be better off with you
Maybe I was enjoying resting peacefully
And now that I’ve returned I’ve so much work to do

Townsend, I ask
Are you listening?
Is this to a broken address?
I’ve been wondering
Did you ever think of me
Like you thought about yourself
I never asked, and you never asked
And now I’m living
With no benefit of the doubt
I wonder if this’ll ever let me go
When will it let me go?
And now I’m the last to know
That with one single misplaced throw
I could end the lives of all my friends
Why would you give me this?
Just to leave me with this?
Is it hard to imagine, it’s not deliberately?
Is it hard to imagine, it’s not deliberately?
Is it hard to imagine?
My hands are full of fire
My eyes are full of flame
I sent moody to the shadows
My limbs are not my own
My life is not my decision
Was I crying for help like some wounded animal
Never learning what this is, what it feels like to be left?
A secondary thought, in your heroic moment
Expecting me to thank you
Is it hard to imagine, it’s not deliberately?
Is it hard to imagine, it’s not deliberately?
Is it hard to imagine?

Broken bats and peanut snacks and false idolatry
Go lock us in a shell we’ll make a show of unity
We’re playing chicken with pure chaos but the chaos kinda hates us
So I just wanna be at party time
This is your last chance to show some solidarity,
If we just honour them then maybe then they’ll set us free
We can hold this line together, no more room for those half measures
Help us please the gods and we’ll help you to shell your team
Broken bats and peanut snacks and false idolatry
Go lock us in a shell we’ll make a show of unity

(IDOLATRY. Golly, the leaderboard just will. not. sit. still! It looks like they may pull it off, but - what’s that? Oh, they've really done it now. Folks, they say fame is a prison shell. Well, our two most popular players are in literal giant peanut shells. Now, don't quote me on this, but I'd wager their batting average may see a dive next season. STRIKE THREE!)
Am I nothing but stars to you?
Long before you see me, I've already burned out
As I slip through your hands, paws and claws
They all felt cold
But the warmth of the board, it drew me to the top
I tried so hard just to feel
I can't see the light through my eyes, through my eyes
I concede the fight with your lies, with your lies
I can't see the light through my eyes, through my eyes
I concede the fight with your lies, with your lies
I am nothing
I am nothing
I am nothing
I am nothing
Why can't I get out of here (I can't take this any longer)
Why can't I get out of here (I can't take this any longer)
Why can't I get out of here (I can't take this any longer)
Why can't I get out of here (I can't take this any longer)

(Jaylen, Philly to Seattle)
Travel time from East Coast to West Coast:
One shrieking second
Heard a message from the microphone
But I don’t know what it meant
Hi Lang, bye Lang
I’d love to stay
But the sun’s growing dim and I’ve debts to pay
But the sun’s growing dim and I’ve debts to pay
(NaN, LA to Houston)
My Wyatts, my friends
I don’t want this to end
But I’ve heard my old voice spreading hope in the wind
And as sure as I’m NaN
I’m sure of this plan
So goodbye, please write me in Houston
So goodbye, please write me in Hou-
(NaN, Houston to Mexico City)
From the gulf, past the border,
I follow all the leads
I flash to where the milk burns
And the losers succeed
I’ve learned to observe
I’ve learned to redact
Now my spirit turns wild
Time to learn to fight back
(Jaylen, Seattle to Canada)
Coming home felt like a treat
But now I’m leaving bittersweet
This place I knew feels different now
I guess I’m bound for different ground
And maybe north is meant for me
And finally I’ll find some pea-
(NaN, Mexico City to San Francisco)
I wake up with a cold shock, this bed is unfamiliar
Stuck in a dream, it feels so real
The mirror stares back, blood and grime
Water washes yesterday away
The days flickering by, where am I?
What did I leave behin-
(Jaylen, Canada to Charleston)
You don't know where to look
So you look at my glove
At the stitching flecked with dust
Carrying the ghosts of border roads
And I don't know
If this good boy will find a home A
Alone in the north, but I know
The smacking bats
Still echo in the twilight ringing true
With the voices calling me down to Charleston
Down into this den of thieves
(Sixpack Dogwalker, Hawaii to Dallas)
Woof woof, woof woof
Woof woof woof woof woof
Woof woof, woof woof
Woof woof woof woof woof
Woof woof, woof woof

Why can’t they hear me (Where'd you go?)
in the static, the snow? (I'm getting lost in the feedback)
I can feel myself going (Gotta find my own way back)
But I don’t wanna let go (Gotta find my own way back)
With each inch of cable, some meaning is lost (Where'd you go?)
I’m lo-fi and painless, I’ve talked to the boss (I'm getting lost in the feedback)
Your diaphragm's a megaphone, your voice is my voice (Gotta find my own way back)
Put my hope in the shortwave, I don’t have any choice (Gotta find my own way back)
I can see everything (Where'd you go?)
But not how this ends (I'm getting lost in the feedback)
This one’s for my friends (Gotta find my own way back)
This one’s for my friends (Gotta find my own way back)
This one’s for my friends

How are you supposed to feel,
When your dreams and your nightmares become real?
But at the same time
It feels like a mistake
I wanna fear, and I wanna cry
But what if my friends and I all die?
At this point we have nothing left to do but fight
Give them hell, give them hell
For everyone in a shell
For all the birds in the stands
For all your teammates who fell
Give them hell, give them hell
Cause though you bade them farewell
There's a chance you might bring them back
Give them hell, give them hell
For everyone in a shell
For all the birds in the stands
For all your teammates who fell
Give them hell, give them hell
Cause though you bade them farewe-

A glint, a flash, the form gives way
Hot white and fade to grey
Rogue umps spiteful on this day
They’re gone but not forgotten
Ash remains, their souls aweigh
Heavy hearts do not dismay
For oh what price one would pay
To see your friends again
Do you want to see your friends again? (hall, flame, see your friends, hall, flame, see your friends)
Do you want to see your friends again? (hall, flame, see your friends, hall, flame, see your friends)
Do you want to see your friends again? (hall, flame, see your friends, hall, flame, see your friends)

Fervent fans commence to reel
Hope to cope and help to heal
I will make you a deal
You want to see your friends?
Tiny eggs you must acquire
Feed me that which I desire
Hoist them up above the pyre
And see your friends again
Do you want to see your friends again? (hall, flame, see your friends, hall, flame, see your friends)
Do you want to see your friends again? (hall, flame, see your friends, hall, flame, see your friends)

I know that things ain’t been that
Straightforward twists and turns lead
You towards an end you can’t see
The deal that you’ve been dealt
It just isn’t fair
And this might get scary
But I think there’s a way we can
Buy ourselves a getaway
A quick escape from everything
And maybe there will come a day
Where I’ll get the chance to
Make all the plans and you’ll
Run down the streets in light
While the sunshine isn’t hidden behind
Any clouds and the moon
Glows at night like it’s supposed to
And you wake up each morning
Not scared of the day to come
I climbed my way to heaven
To ask a couple questions
All I could think at the top
Is how you outshine any god
The deal that you’ve been dealt
It just isn’t fair
And this might get scary
But i think there’s a way we can
Buy ourselves a getaway
A quick escape from everything
And maybe there will come a day
Where I’ll get the chance to
Make all the plans and you’ll
Run down the streets in light
While the sunshine isn’t hidden behind
Any clouds and the moon
Glows at night like it’s supposed to
And you wake up each morning
Not scared of the day to come
I don’t know what’s
Waiting for us
But I think I’ve gotta try this
There’s a chance that this brings
It’s own set of things
To worry about
But all i care now
Is that you see the spring (we're not just teams)
And the life that it brings (we're protagonists)
And that you get to bloom (and you're writing a story, i'll make sure you get in)
I'll do what I can so you
Can buy yourself a getaway
A quick escape from everything
And maybe there will come a day
Where you’ll get the chance to
Make all the plans and you’ll
Run down the streets in light (as the sky grows dim)
While the sunshine isn’t hidden behind (tell them I did my best)
Any clouds and the moon glows at night like it’s supposed to (one more name for the ticker)
And you wake up each morning not scared (no loss, no disappointment)

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 making 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
(SERIOUSLY? It cannot be overstated - they have really done it now, folks. Difficult diplomatic tensions have reached an all time high here in the ILB, as fans spend a hundred million snacks on the monitor, and this nut begins to crack. As all sides are feeling increasingly crabby, we’re seeing uncovered in real time that plots of nepodtism may cost more than these players can pay. The Shelled One has pulled together its pods, and The Monitor has summoned their stars. That's STRIKE FOUR!)
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
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

I made a deal
One More Game
That’s the best I can do
I don’t know what happens then
But now more than ever
Please stand together and fight
Give them hell
Give them hell
For everyone in a shell
For all the birds in the stands
And all your teammates who fell
Give them hell
Even if it means farewell
There’s a chance to bring them back
Bow before me
You can not win
Power
They are mine
I am infinite
I am the snack
Witness, true power
Give them hell
Give them hell
For everyone in a shell
For all the birds in the stands
And all your teammates who fell
Give them hell
Even if it means farewell
There’s a chance to bring them back

Godspeed, you beautiful bastards
Send me a postcard while you're up there
Godspeed, without you we're disasters
If it were up to me, i wouldn't let you go
Godspeed, you beautiful bastards
Send me a postcard while you're up there
Godspeed, without you we're disasters
If it were up to me, i wouldn't let you go
I wouldn't let you go

You hate us for who we are
While we hate you for what you’ve done
We get all the bullets
While you get all the guns
And when a single one of us gets
Marked for incineration
It’s all of us that’s been hit
And you can expect retaliation
Cause we know people who have died
Well before their time
And it isn’t really fair
But how are we to set that right?
We have to make a plan
And work out what is coming next
And make it out alive
With everyone that’s left
That we have left
We’re tougher than you think we are
We keep up our survival
And when we kill our demons
It also means we kill our idols
You’re not gonna buy us off
There is no simple, easy fix
Cause all of us have been hurt
And we’re going to stay pissed
Cause we know people who have died
Well before their time
And it isn’t really fair
But how are we to set that right?
We have to make a plan
And work out what is coming next
And make it out alive
With everyone that’s left
That we have left
I want you to feel joyous
I want you to feel okay
I want you to wake up tomorrow
And fight another day
I want you to look back
And see how far that we’ve all came
I want you to remember them
And carry on their name
Cause we know ways we can survive
After all this time
We learn from our past
So we can make it out alright
We have to stay alert
And be ready for what is next
We’ll make it out alive
With everyone that’s left
That we have-
Cause we know ways we can survive
After all this time
We learn from our past
So we can make it out alright
We have to stay alert
And be ready for what is next
We’ll make it out alive
With everyone that’s left
That we have left
Cause we know ways we can survive
After all this time
We learn from our past
So we can make it out alright
We have to stay alert
And be ready for what is next
We’ll make it out alive
With everyone that’s left
That we have left
