so, siesta's end
time to come back
i missed all my friends
jaylen returns for one more
but not with us
she's so full of love
mike, still in the shadows
is this the last of him
or will he rise again
hope, can we win it for them
we'll watch the twelfth trip around the
sun 2 shines above
the black hole gets ten and minus one
what will await us when it's done
we'll have to rest until it has begun
so, coffee cup's past
inter xpresso
their new perks will last
justice, a new era's dawned
what will it mean
will it be obscene
umps, will they be so kind
to spare the team our lives
or will some players die
so much to look forward to
we'll watch the twelfth trip around the
sun 2 shines above
the black hole gets ten and minus one
what will await us when it's done
we'll have to rest until it has begun
so, it's almost here
start of the season
i have so much fear
can we win it this time
we'll watch the twelfth trip around the sun
the twelfth trip around the sun

All of those seasons ago I made a special promise to you
We would make it to the playoffs and then I would get to see you
But it seem like now the only one who made it there is you
So now I’m stuck here at this party wishing I could be with you
And this beat is pretty lonely and Randy just spilled my drink
But you hit another home run brought shame to the other team
And I go walk to the cooler looking for another drink
By the time that I get back you’re laughing singing with your team
And I’m sorry I didn’t make it to the playoffs with you
I’m so glad that you did, but I wish that I could have to
And I’m sorry about the lies that I told to you
I’m sorry I couldn’t be there, too.
And I thought that leaving losing would help me to find myself
But now I know that losing things can still include your self
And I guess I’m pretty happy til I’m by my lonesome self
But even if I’m sad I hope you’re happy with yourself
Ask me if I like it here I’ll tell you that I do
And the reason that I say that I because I know it’s true
But with every passing season I find fewer things to do
I hope the good things of Seattle never stop being true

so what if
we rise above ‘em all
only to fall
into an abyss
really, what if
the big leagues call
and when we pick up,
they decide we’ve won enough
last night I choked all down my hopes
after looking through the telescope
and damn, the crabs are getting slammed
I almost laugh, but, I gotta ask, uh,
what if we win and in a blink that’s us?
we’ll sadly recount our champion highs
in an endless cycle of party time
don our medals so we remember
the sweet taste of victory
even in an endless buffet of defeats
my god, what’s happenin’ in those big leagues?
so, what if
we kill all the gods
what dyou think are the odds
There’s someone bigger ‘round the bend?
what if
instead of the standard end
the classic fade to black
we’re immediately under attack?
last night I choked down all my hopes
after looking through the telescope
and yeah, still a bad game for the crabs
I almost laugh, but, I gotta ask, uh,
what if we win and in a blink that’s us?
we’ll sadly reminisce champion highs
in an endless cycle of party time
don our medals so we remember
the sweet taste of victory
even in an endless buffet of defeats
my god, what’s going on in those big leagues?
god, what's going on in those big leagues?

forbidden knowledge

you know i'm humbled
for what you see in me
but there's nothing much to see
beneath the stars
you might think that i
have so much potential
but your expectations
will not be met
maybe sometimes
if i got good vibes
maybe can hit the ball
between the stars
but we all know
i'll strike out swinging
i'll strike out singing
like when we met
i'm just a name
and some numbers
though i try my best
i knuckle under
i'm just a burden
you are encumbered
but you still cheer
why do you still cheer?
because i know
the forbidden knowledge
of who i am
and what i can do
and if you revealed
the forbidden knowledge
of who i am
you'd wanna leave me too

Things were going So great
8-2 up Against the steaks
Our bowlers Cleaning shop
But our batters will not stop
Too good, We're too good
We can't stop When we should
Scoring loads Isn't always the goal
I can't look As we start to fold
Black hole
As it wraps around, Collective Groans
Our score resets Back to zero
We worked so hard All for what
Nothing nothing, Now all we got
Too good, We're too good
We can't stop When we should
Scoring loads Isn't always the goal
I can't look As we start to fold
Black hole
Black hole
Black hole

I'm glad I spent the week with you
I think I did a good job too
and then I even got to play
there's not a whole lot else to say
but goodbye, best friends
I hardly knew you
goodbye, best friends
I hope it meant something to you
goodbye
best friends
looks like the hour's getting late
please continue to participate
and I hope that you'll remember me
as I go out in a blaze of glory
or at least in a cup of coffee
so goodbye, best friends
I hardly knew you
goodbye, best friends
I hope it meant something to you
goodbye, goodbye
goodbye, best friends
I hardly knew you
goodbye, best friends
I hope it meant something to you
goodbye, best friends

I don’t need a catcher
all I need are these two massive hands
To put you out to pasture!
Plus I can fistfight with your classist dad!!
I’ll bring him to the rapture!!!
I promise I’m usually a passive man.
They say that I’m a monster
I’m just a pitcher with some cool elastic pants
Will they ever let me be myself?
I wonder
As I wander
Around the south end of seattle
I watch the light rail
Stop
But I never get on
Because I’m too tall
I don’t talk to
Cops
I just kick flip over their cars
Like my best friend tony hawk
As I dream
Of blaseball
As I wander up to belltown
This is why I have the fundamentals
Even though the world is cruel
I can still pitch with the fundamentals
My arms the perfect tool
They just say batter up
The catcher signals me
I never break a sweat
This pitch is destiny
And it’s another strike
And then I just repeat
This is why I have the fundamentals
I’m a monster but I’m no fool
Every morning I wake up
Before I put on my monster makeup
I dream a little dream of you
And you
The fans of the seattle garages
I know at first you were afraid, you were petrified
Wondering how you’d have a monster pitcher on your side
I hope after the past few seasons that’s you’re pleasantly surprised because
I know that I’m a monster
But I’m still an asset on this team
Can you just let me live?
I wonder
As I wander
Up through all of gas works park
This is why I have the fundamentals
Even though the world is cruel
I can still pitch with the fundamentals
My arms the perfect tool
They just say batter up
The catcher signals me
I never break a sweat
This pitch is destiny
And it’s another strike
And then I just repeat
This is why I have the fundamentals
I’m a monster but I’m no fool
This is “experiment with formal structure, opus 337, by Ron monstera. Inspired by ligeti, john zorn, Wendy carlos, and tot clark.”
xThis is why I have the fundamentals
Even though the world is cruel
I can still pitch with the fundamentals
My arms the perfect tool
They just say batter up
The catcher signals me
I never break a sweat
This pitch is destiny
And it’s another strike
And then I just repeat
This is why I have the fundamentals
I’m a monster but I’m no fool
…thank you

i feel the shadows tugging, lord
oh my lord
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
i feel the shadows call
their darkness and their thrall
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
i thought that what i’d need
is the opportunity
to be the one who shines just like the sun
but when i got the chance
they turned to necromance
and i knew i’d be the forgotten one
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
oh my lord
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
the light is fading fast
and though this too shall pass
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
i spent my days in gray
tryna keep my fears at bay
and eventually i learned what i find true
that loneliness is not
some curse that leaves you lost
and if it saves you all, that’s what i’d choose
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
oh my lord
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
when night time turns to day
i'll have to go away
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
i answer not to seeds
to coins, or to the sea
i answer not to man, nor to machine
the only thing i know
is after, when i go
i hope the ones i love remember me
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
oh my lord
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
i feel the shadows call
their darkness and their thrall
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
