Luis I Love You

Bandaged arms reaching out, above
A flash of light, empty air where your hand was
Lost in the fog, I can hardly see
As you rise, or go up, and away from me
Luis I love you
Even when we're far apart
Luis I love You
How could you break my brittle heart?
I turn away from the rearview
Cuz every streetlight looks like you
There's no relief, no sense of home
Just one more eternity alone
I feel your voice singing still
Your hard light warmth against the chill
Your perfect hair, your perfect face
A perfect lifetime now erased
We worked so hard, paid our dues
You won it all but I still lose
Where have you gone, so far from me
Come back, come back
Oh Luis I love you
With every light inside my soul
Luis I love you
I just can't bear to see you go
I thought our love could never die
'Til you were dragged into the sky
Why can't you just pick up the phone?
Don't leave me in eternity alone
Luis I love you
Even when we're far apart
Luis I love you
With every beat left in my heart
I don't know what else I can do
No second sun could shine like you
The only love I've ever known
Is spending eternity alone

the waterboy looks down on him
as he picks up the ball
it's another awful day
it's another awful day
for mike townsend
our prodigal son, our shameful pitcher, mike townsend
and he pitches the ball
in the same way
to the same place
every time, like an asshole
and it's a strong hit to the outfield
and a double for the spies
mike townsend is a disappointment
he's a loser and a total disgrace
mike townsend is a disappointment
mike townsend better end up in flames
yeah
he throws the ball in the air
so that he can catch it and look cool
but he misses catching it on the way down
so he just drops it on the floor
and has to bend down and pick it up again
like nobody just saw him drop it
and then he pitches the ball
in the same way
to the same place
every time, like an asshole
and the batter sees the defeat in his eyes
and there's no strikes, no outs, it's a home run, great job
mike townsend is a disappointment
he's a loser and a total disgrace
mike townsend is a disappointment
mike townsend has the shadows to face
yeah

Lost To The Airwaves

Every day I wake up
Wondering where you've gone
Flickering through my head
But all I hear is the dial tone
You said that you would call me
When you've settled in to your new home
But instead you're lost to the airwaves
And all I hear is the dial tone
I miss you
I still long to kiss you
I miss you
And my ears keep ringing and ringing and
I'll never forget you
You're the star of the field
I'll never forget you
Batting in my dreams
I'll never forget you
You're the star of the field
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
You're the star of the field
I'll never forget you
Batting in my dreams
I'll never forget you
You're the star of the field
I'll never regret you
I guess that's just how it goes
Placing bets on a losing team
Still I can't help but to dream
You said that you would call me
When you've settled in to your new home
But instead you're lost to the airwaves
And all I hear is the dial tone
I'll never forget you
You're the star of the field
I'll never forget you
Batting in my dreams
I'll never forget you
You're the star of the field
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
You're the star of the field
I'll never forget you
Batting in my dreams
I'll never forget you
You're the star of the field
I'll never regret you

i'm riding in the front seat of a train car
hurtling towards the heavens
and i'm gonna catch you alone
and i got my bag packed, and it's full of stuff
that i can then use when i fight them off
and i'm gonna catch you alone
when i look you in the eyes
i will start to realise
you're pathetic, in the worst ways
you're spineless, like on most days
when i look you in the eyes
i will start to realise
you're not going anywhere, going anywhere
when you go to fight gods
but none of them live up to it
and all of them give up, does that
make you feel better?
when you go to fight gods
but none of them meet your eyeline
does that make you feel fine,
or are you disappointed?
no one you look up to is better than you are
i'm riding in the front seat of a train car
listening to songs on my ipod that will hype me up
to take you on, or take you down
but it's somewhere between track 6 and 7
that i realise that when i get up to heaven
i'm gonna make you cry without lifting a finger

when i swing at the pitch i don't miss it
imitating the one i know best
i'll repeat myself again, so please listen
as i echo across the northwest
i left all my worries in dallas
and philly, i can't stick around
so i step to the plate in seattle
one horse in a one horse town
today it's two-for-one price admission
as i roll onto the field all alone
i'll repeat myself again, so please listen
somehow i'm not on my own
i left my old mare back in philly
and dallas, i'm letting you down
so i step to the plate in seattle
two horses in a one horse town
and it might feel like you got triple vision
as i reverberate throughout the park
i'll repeat myself again, so please listen
i don't need no redemption arc
because i've left all my troubles behind me
as the waves carry me to the sound
so i step to the plate in seattle
three horses in a one horse town

Stars Of Tomorrow

waiting, i've been waiting so long
and i’m trying so hard to be strong
just want my biggest dream to come true
it’s not too far fetched but there’s a catch
i don’t want to lose you
we are the stars of tomorrow
just want no loss at all but we’re just
dying for the big leagues
have hope of breaking through
we are the hope of the future
so patient yet so bored
so can we just have a chance now
but we will need incineration
and we don’t want that
watching, i’ve been watching, so fun
and i’m cheering on in the stands, a home run
just bring me up to bat, i’ll do well
but i’m sitting here in my seat, left to dwell
we are the stars of tomorrow
just want no loss at all but we’re just
dying for the big leagues
have hope of breaking through
we are the hope of the future
so patient yet so bored
so can we just have a chance now
but we will need incineration
and we don’t want that
we are the stars of tomorrow
just want no loss at all but we’re just
trying for the big leagues
have hope of breaking through
we are the hope of the future
so patient yet so bored
so can we just have a chance now
please just give us a shot
we are the stars of tomorrow
just want no loss at all but we’re just
dying for the big leagues
have hope of breaking through
we are the hope of the future
so patient yet so bored
so can we just have a chance now
but we will need incineration
and we don’t want that

Dial Tone (Neon Ver.)
02:46
|
|

I saw your back when you walked away from me
The last time that I saw you on the field
They all say, it’ll fade eventually,
But I mean, eventually, we’ll all be dead.
I don’t know if you’ll miss me at all
if you’ll miss me at all
I wanna reach out to you
When I’m with you, I feel less alone
But when I reach out to you
Now all I get is the dial tone
I wanna feel your presence
I wanna hear you on the phone
But when I reach out to you
Now all I get is the dial tone
I watch your games, and you’re looking so happy
And you text me, when you get a moment free
I don’t feel stable, when you’re not here for me
And I don’t feel fear for me, I just feel pity.
But I don’t know if you miss me at all
if you miss me at all
I wanna reach out to you
When I’m with you, I feel less alone
But when I reach out to you
Now all I get is the dial tone
I need you to keep me steady
I need you to heal my broken bones
But when I reach out to you
Now all I get is the dial tone
I know that you’re keeping busy
You’re doing well, and I don’t mean to moan
I just wanna talk
But all I get is the dial tone
Sometimes I need to stay grounded
I need to hear you on the phone
But I guess you left it on silent
Cause all I get is the dial tone

From Seattle there’s a team in a baseball league
Garages are their name and they’re here to cause a scene
Bound together by the music inside
A rag-tag crew, but all gods should run and hide
Do you hear them coming?
Hear the bass drum thumpin’
They’ll park it on the field in the name of Jaylen
Forget about the gods, our music does the savin’
Know you hear them coming
Those guitar riffs? Stunnin’
We got Townsend, Clark, and Spliff no there ain’t no jokin’
Garages on the field, on some peanuts you’ll be choking, oh
Jaylen Hotdogfingers, why were you taken from us so soon
Forbidden book opens right on up, then we were betrayed by the moon
But this time, we write our own fate
Play into the void, hear your long lost team
The one who slipped through our fingers
Will we win her back on lottery?
Garages, Garages, our time has yet to come, but
Garages, Garages, I know this season’s the one
Do you hear them coming?
Yes our hearts keep pumpin’
I cannot lie, yes I know we’re the one
We won't stop jammin’ ‘till we kill the sun
Know you hear them coming
We won't stop runnin’
We park it on the field in the name of Jaylen
Look out gods, soon you’ll need saving, oh

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

Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
You never cry alone
Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
But at least here you know you’ll never cry alone
Gathering vibes now,
Wondering if Parker spoke
Friday is dawning
Hope rides on Betsy Trombone
But at least here you know you’ll never cry alone
Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
You never cry alone
Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
But at least here you know you’ll never cry alone
Heartbreak is exhausting
To make it finals and choke
Feels like time wasted
Rather be partying with tacos
And at least here you know you’ll never cry alone
Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
You never cry alone
Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
But at least here you know you’ll never cry alone
Your heroes gone now
They all went up in smoke
There’s a fine line between
Fun and eldritch horror
But as least here you know, you’ll never cry alone
Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
You never cry alone
Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
But at least here you know you’ll never cry alone
Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
You never cry alone
Crying in blaseball is [REDACTED]
But at least here you know you’ll never cry alone

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

my adrenaline is low
i'm not used to it
all i wanna do is go
and find a ball to hit
usually by this time
my blood is rushing through my skin
i pick up my bat
gotta find some way to take her for a spin
nothing happens every day
nothing happens every day
and yeah
blaseball is an eternal hell and there's
no escape, nor from the umpire's death knell but
i wanna play i wanna play i wanna play
and nothing happens every day anymore
where are the umpires and the fire
where are the scorch marks on the field
where is the screech of feedback on the wire
where are the birds in the outfield
where are the peanuts raining down
where is the blood falling on the town
now all we have is double roast dirt
no-one is going to get hurt
and that's sad
and that's boring
i'm going mad
nothing happens every day
nothing happens every day
and yeah
blaseball is an eternal hell and there's
no escape, nor from the umpire's death knell but
i wanna play i wanna play i wanna play
i wanna play i wanna play i wanna play

season three, you emerged
we were asking, "who is she"
and you proved yourself immediately
in your strong arms, you would carry us
and your strong heart, you could've married us
we can't believe you didn't last the week
tiana cash
you were gone too soon
your memory will linger
but what are we to do?
yeah, you carried all of us
and then you lost it all
so how do we even lift the ball?
tiana cash
you were gone too soon
and now we're left to ask
you got some mighty shoes to fill
and greer might do it, as long as he does not fall ill
there's challenges to try us
but your strong wings, they could have flied us
and we can't believe our pheonix got put out
tiana cash
you were gone too soon
your memory will linger
but what are we to do?
yeah, you carried all of us
and then you lost it all
so how do we even lift the ball?
tiana cash
you were gone too soon
ooohhhhh
gone too soon
tiana cash
you were gone too soon
your memory will linger
but what are we to do?
yeah, you carried all of us
and then you lost it all
so how do we even lift the ball?

Alone In The Light

i just want to walk away
leave it all behind somehow
but the glare of a backdraft
leaves an afterimage now
the vision of a burning field
is something i could do without
but it’s the fall of my friend
that i cannot disavow
i just want to walk away
ease the weight off me somehow
but the glare of a backdraft
clouds my judgement now
the seasons come and go so quick
seems like i’m the one that’s slowing down
things are bigger than when i came in
and i’m smaller for the crowd
i just want to walk away
try to just move on somehow
but the glare of a backdraft
haunts my vision now
these days it’s easier to sleep
but some nights memories come back
turns out no amount of stars
is bright enough to cleanse your past
and i’m alone
in the light
i’m running home
