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
(pick it up, pick it up, pick it up)
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 better end up in flames
yeah
mike townsend is a disappointment
he's a loser and a total disgrace

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

i can see the truth in your eyes
as you're telling me lies
like you know that you'll hold my 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

theodore duende here, can you answer my call?
i'm waiting in the wings to go, to go, i'm waiting in the wings
and i can feel, the blood is pumping through me like
the engine oil, and all the neurons won't stop firing
all the neurons won't stop firing
lift the limit
now we're in it
the reverb got us feeling like a new band
like a new band
lift the limit
now we're in it
the reverb got us feeling like a new band
like a new band
with a limiter released
theodore duende here, my adrenaline is high
and all the fires in my heart are lit from pheonixes that once flied
and i can feel magnesium in my veins
and i can feel the power I get from everyone who cheers my name

pathetic/spineless

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
