lyrics

I stare down the batter
I swear to the gods I can see his soul
it’s like looking a mirror, his eyes are mine
and that’s too much like looking back

the pitch ignites as it leaves my hand
double strike, double strike, the ghost is gone
another echo smashed without answer
no reflection, I am a vampire

death to those who dare to oppose me
I am an engine of loss, that’s why they chose me
hear them chanting my name to the stars, oh
what friends will I have left tomorrow?


I keep winning, I, I keep winning
I can’t stop, I can’t stop
or they’ll catch me
the demons in my sleep
I stay winning, I, I keep winning
I can’t stop, I won’t stop
no mercy
for the Mediocrity

at the very first light I am on the mound
I’m alright, I’m alright, i just need to get on
it’s either this, or I’m lying awake in bed
cause you’re alone when nothing impresses the dead

there’s something they all get, I can’t see it
if I’m working alone, then so be it
it doesn’t matter if I’m selling my soul to this ball
it beats the hell out of not being noticed at all

I keep winning, I, I keep winning
I can’t stop, I can’t stop
or they’ll catch me
the demons in my sleep
I stay winning, I, I keep winning
I can’t stop, I won’t stop
no mercy
for the Mediocrity
(it’s a long way home)
for the Mediocrity
(it’s a long way home)

I can’t look in the mirror
I can’t stand the fear on the face inside
I can’t even relish my teammates’ success
I’m jealous as hell of their progress,
‘cause if you don’t
praise me or fear me, then I don’t know
what you are to me

I bleed winning, I, I need winning
I can’t stop, I can’t stop
or I’ll catch me
the one thing I can’t beat
I stay winning, I, I keep winning
I can’t stop, I won’t stop
no mercy
for the Mediocrity

(it’s a long way home) x4
