Thomas Dracaena hit a ground out, to Edric Tosser so we’re waiting longer For our time to come back stronger I never really minded striking out the semi-finals Though I wanna win I love to party It’s gonna come Sweet victory But until then Come create with me Chorus: You made a place where we are anything You gave a face to a name I’d never trade your love for winning Though we might lose we will cherish you Tiana Cash was turned to ash, And one day I might end up the same Oh well I know the risks and I love this game I’ve only got a few stars to my name I try so hard but can’t quite cut it You make me into so much more than a statistic You made a place where we are anything You gave a face to a name I’d never trade your love for winning Though we might lose we will cherish you So it’s been a day Now We’ll all run home and celebrate Who really cares if we win or lose If at the end of it all I still have you Don’t get it wrong This is far from over When we get more thumbs They’ll be running for cover From all dimensions we will use And come up strong to escape the blues Through all the feedback we amplify You will hear our echoes across all space and time You made a place where we are anything You gave a face to a name I’d never trade your love for winning Though we might lose we will cherish you So it’s been a day Now We’ll all run home and celebrate Who really cares if we win or lose If at the end of it all I still have you

Sundae 04:05
(Ok go) You’re always at the concessions You’ve got a sweet tooth and you know Dessert’s the best way to increase the payroll Just one slot for the soft serve You don’t need anymore Just sell the rest and double what you earn So pull up and take a seat The rest of us can’t watch you eat While lightning strikes and the players scream You keep on pushing fake tears Drip down into an empty bowl And then you’re up again to go get more I hope you, choke On the ashes that are sprinkled on your sundae Give us what, you owe You’re just waiting for another Ruby Tuesday You’ve never cheered for any teams Just smile when the umpire deems It’s time to burn up the ones we love And that’s the cherry on top The feasting will never stop You’ll be making coins till blaseball’s gone Your Icecream is melting While the players are burning Your Icecream is melting I hope you, choke On the ashes that are sprinkled on your sundae Give us what, you owe You’re just waiting for another Ruby Tuesday Your a parasite, you’re just evil, hoping people die so money comes your way You’ve got an angry mob tearing at your clothes they’ll throw you off the stands to incinerate I hope you, choke On the ashes that are sprinkled on your sundae Give us what, you owe You’re just waiting for another Ruby Tuesday

Erase the individual You know it’s never been personal Just buy and merge it all Streamline and sell your stolen labor Take, what you get And in our case we take it all Beg, to be chosen And we’ll make you capital So make your startups then shove them right on our plates We’re glad to hear you built them with love and passion Swallow the assets and lock it behind our gates You couldn’t say you thought this would never happen Erase the individual You know it’s never been personal Just buy and merge it all Streamline and sell your stolen labor One day we’ll buy you too It’s not something you get to choose Force feed the world our truth You’d all be savages without the dollar bill Lose, all you’ve cherished Now you’ll never afford a single luxury Starve, you’re just hopeless You don’t even deserve the human necessities So now you gotta pay to play some blaseball A monthly service fee to send a message online Why stop at fun when we can just take it all Secure the crops and your cash will be mine Erase the individual You know it’s never been personal Just buy and merge it all Streamline and sell your stolen labor One day we’ll buy you too It’s not something you get to choose Force feed the world our truth You’d all be savages without the dollar bill We’ll consume everything you ever loved Until there’s nothing left except mud We’ll consume everything you ever loved Rip apart flesh from bone and give me your all (Bertie): So give me your all Fight like you think you've got a choice Give me Your all This noose is tightening like a vice.

Off Season 04:23
Flames will take you too There will always be more room So to ease this burden We will turn our caps in And enjoy the Off Season The days you will cherish They’re all lost to blur and turned to mist Like translating a blackout Your whole life will just fade out Who you are is muffled by doubt Time will blink its eye The best days just pass you by Still you keep on swinging Though the days that you’re living Never happened at all All this time You had thought you were alive But your just signs and numbers And you’ll be toiling under Your true gods, forever And yes, we love you Far too much to tell the truth We’re the ones that are gracious Since we gave you your faces And the stories that make your essence Time will blink its eye The best days just pass you by Still you keep on swinging Though the days that you’re living Never happened at all It’s best you lie to yourself You couldn’t be happy as anybody else So you choose to believe them All the memories given By the Off Season

So Mediocre 04:12
My father taught me to swing a bat With high sights and years of grueling work He said, I could be the best of them yet But his patience was waning My training couldn’t make up for The fact I’d never be Jessica Just so Mediocre, no team would ever take me in But I found a home with the garages and made some friends But now we’re infested by predators tearing up our stars Turns out that my soul is too large and the team paid the cost His words stick, Branded He once said, that: You play, with everything that you’ve got But Still it ain’t much Miles away from runner up You’ll drag, a winning team through the mud Break all their trust Lose all the ones you love, how sad… York buys Sunny D, I’d say that’s too sweet for me Then after a loss we’d go home and track for his CD Then One Sunny Day, he struts up cooly to the plate Then in a single blink he’s gone to the vault without leaving a trace You’re just cursed, the worst You live to, hurt His words stick, Branded He once said: You play, with everything that you’ve got But Still it ain’t much Miles away from runner up You’ll drag, a winning team through the mud Break all their trust Lose all the ones you love, how sad… Then there’s Alison Abbot, Oh the moments regretted I guess there’s quite a few of them We were running the bases, Oh the look on her face when The Ump missed me, but, not her You play, with everything that you’ve got But Still it ain’t much Miles away from runner up You’ll drag, a winning team through the mud Break all their trust Lose all the ones you love, how sad… Why couldn’t, you just take me? Why couldn’t you just burn me? Why couldn’t, you just take me? Why couldn’t you just burn me?

SC__TER_D 04:34
Oh some say I was, a major threat with claws They called my fire eater I used to be a shining symbol of bravery But now he’s just not here The crowd is shouting calling, that’s our cat boy Malik Destiny But I just can’t quite remember if that name fits me Then that roaring tide came crashing down on us A violent weather leaving all our memories damaged Scattered, my molecules were warped now I’m not quite the same Fractured, pieces lost to the elsewhere now I can’t remember my face or name Little bits and pieces of teammates I once knew will flicker though But Patterson looks at me like I should feel more than I do But what haunts me most, I feel like this body isn’t mine but try to see myself somewhere in it Staring at the photos of who I was I disassociate and fear my mind I just can’t trust SCATTERED, my molecules were warped now I’m not quite the same FRACTURED, pieces lost to the elsewhere now I can’t remember my name SCATTERED, my molecules were warped now I’m not quite the same FRACTURED, pieces lost to the elsewhere now I can’t remember my face or name But I’ll just keep searching, I know somehow I’m here But I’ll just keep searching, seeking finding the memories I hold dear You may be gone, but you can always remake yourself Before long, you’ll come to love you’re someone else You may be gone, but you can always remake yourself Before long, you’ll come to love you’re someone else SCATTERED, my molecules were warped now I’m not quite the same FRACTURED, pieces lost to the elsewhere now I can’t remember my name SCATTERED, I might never be the hero that they cheered for yesterday FRACTURED, but I’m coming to terms with finding my new face and name
