every frequency, every universe
on a sine wave that wanders through space
hear them forming, hear them merging at the
bridge where this world and yours interlace
echo through barricades of noise, peel your eyes open
turn the volume up and rejoice for the moment
properly aligned with the broadcast, now
don't touch that dial but turn up the gain
give this new world life, give it meaning, though
it will matter for just a few days
echo through barricades of noise, peel your eyes open
turn the volume up and rejoice for the moment
cause every wave crest must descend
and every world must meet its end
when it disappears in the void, you will know then
echo through barricades of noise, peel your eyes open
turn the volume up and rejoice for the moment
cause every wave crest must descend
and every life is means to an end
when you see nothing but the void, you will know then

gamma radiation penetrating my brain
events on the horizon got me going insane
everything's familiar, nothing feels the same
I dunno the players and I can't call the game
the ticker's telling me accounts were overdrawn
now my money's gone
and there's zero to gain
everything confusing, i dont know where to go
everyone's around me and there's no one i know
everything is silent but the scream in my soul
the world keeps on spinning when you're in a black hole
parker's telling me to wake up and play ball
but i can't see the hall
where are the bases we stole
gamma radiation putting me in a trance
making me imagine all that's left of my plans
please imagine music, 'cause they're making me dance
please imagine thumbs, they're growing out of my hands
the microphone telling me to fight the gods
but when i see the odds
it's a zero percent chance
1.7 million, just to spite the gods
but when i see the odds
it's a zero percent chance
we're gonna lose
but it's a win for the team
got the zero percent blues
like a cog in a machine
lost in the noisy weather
and i ain't got much
but we're stronger together
when we're going dutch

[Is anyone out there? Please tell them I'm sorry.. I'm sorry]
Testing testing is this thing on
Urgent message we don't have long
Burn bright
Burn fast
Nothing can last
So don't forget us when we're gone
Are you listening is this thing on
Been trying to reach you for so long
Be brave
Be true
And know that I'm proud of you
So don't forget me when I'm gone
Keep swinging, keep singing
Keep running, keep going
Keep skating, keep playing
Keep loving, keep hoping
Can you hear me is this thing on
Been trying to reach through for so long
Hold tight
Stay strong
Don't cut the connection
And don't forget me when I'm gone
(And please forgive me when I'm gone)
Keep searching, keep seeking
Keep going, keep giving
Keep yearning, keep dreaming
Keep hoping, keep living
You gave me a home in your heart and that's enough
You gave me a home in your heart and that's enough
You gave me a home in your heart and I was loved
You said "you are enough"
You are enough
You are enough
Are you listening is this thing on
Turn it up 'cause I don't have long
Love bold
Live free
Be who you're meant to be
Don't forget me when I'm gone
Keep swinging, keep singing
Keep running, keep going
Keep skating, keep playing
Keep loving, keep hoping
Keep searching, keep seeking
Keep going, keep giving
Keep yearning, keep dreaming
Keep hoping, keep living
Testing testing is this thing on
Urgent message we don't have long
Sing louder
Swing batter
Make it matter
And don't forget us when w-

play by week
stay inside
day to day
someone might die
play by week
stick inside
day by day
sometimes you might just die
It’s a night game
Everybody stay up
Then next runs tagged and we’re winning the cup
I would stay and play
When the fans come out at night
It’s a night game
Everybody stay up
Then next runs tagged and we’re winning the cup
I would stay and play
When the fans come out at night
It’s a night game
It’s a night game
It’s a night game
Everybody stay up
Then next runs tying and we’re winning the cup
I would stay and play
When the fans come out at night
Every time i look at you
I feel so cautious
My grip is getting sweaty and my head is spinning nauseous
It’s you and me an empty team and no one in the space between
Everything feels right
But everytime you look at me I feel so helpless
For something i cannot perceive still leaves me breathless
Your stare is passing through me and your eyes are looking hungry
Maybe just a trick of the light
During a night game

i’m a martyr
i'm a drama queen
gonna make an impact when I crater the team
i'm a failure
i'm a total mistake
gonna shout it out loud till the heavens shake
rip the diamond
cut away from the scene
just a bloody stain on the wind screen
i'm a batter
i'm a stubborn mistake
how much more are you gonna take
wyatt can you see me now
in the hatred of the crowd
every scream's a beating heart denying what we lost on the way
can you believe this shit is free
i'll make the guys upstairs fear me
every bat's a piece of kindling in the pyre, i'm not afraid
tragedian
incineration routine
razor blades in the grass where the blood runs green
yips kaneko
ripping out your heart
every stitch of my name cauterizing the scar
i'm a martyr
i'm a drama queen
gonna make an impact that'll crater the team
i'm a fighter
i'm a feral mistake
there's nothing left, nothing left to take
wyatt can you see me now
in the hatred of the crowd
every scream's a beating heart denying what we lost on the way
can you believe this shit is free
i'll make the guys upstairs fear me
every bat's a piece of kindling in the pyre, i'm not afraid
[god said]
[wrong]
[her strength]
[through the ætherwaves]
*SCREAMING*
[watch me do my sin]
[god's forgetfulness]
[every stain]
[watch me]
[i have sinned]
wyatt can you see me now
in the hatred of the crowd
every scream's a beating heart denying what we lost on the way
can you believe this shit is free
i'll make the guys upstairs fear me
every bat's a piece of kindling in the pyre, i'm not afraid
a petty player on the stage
you're all too scared to turn the page
to realize the end is coming, every bloody game marked the way
you think i'm gonna lay back down?
it's way too late to turn back now
every bone’s a piece of kindling in the pyre, i'm not afraid

Hey! I’ve been Genesis, we’ve been The Garages, and you’ve been a great crowd! Um, thanks for coming out. We’re gonna end this off with a special one… Vanessa Tables, uh, are you in the audience?
Would you come to the front of the stage, please? ...Okay!

"Two, three-"
I saw you dancing in the stands before the game
Now I wake up in a sweat ‘cause I’ve been calling out your name
Vanessa Tables, where do I start?
Standing on a stolen second base, you’re fielding right behind
You whisper in my ear and it sends shivers down my spine
Vanessa Tables, you have my heart
You’re just so stunning and I don’t know what to do
Yeah you live beneath the sea, and I’m a girl from Bellevue
You pushed me in the pool when last I talked to you
Vanessa, you’re on my mind
Maybe I will tell you how I feel on Day 55
This game ain’t quite as fun when you’re not up there at the plate
But I catch up on your replays just to make sure you’re okay
Vanessa Tables, do you do the same?
You’re always staying at the same hotel
But my door is open so come over darling, you might as well
Vanessa baby, it’s warmer in my bed and I don’t care what people say
‘Cause at the end of every day you’re the one I’m here to please
You’re just so stunning and I don’t know what to do
Yeah you live beneath the sea, and I’m a girl from Bellevue
We splashed each other senseless and we wrestled in the pool
Vanessa, you’re on my mind
Maybe I will tell you how I feel on Day 55
