reopening day

from the garages (learn nothing) by the garages

by seb ( bigredsun.bandcamp.com )

sun covered in shadow, shadows the league
pages peeled open, as per the decree
eclipses turning blue and red and golden and white
tell me you don’t recognise that look in their eyes
the fans, it seems, have made their minds up never to learn
from errors in the past that caused so many to burn
the black hole, it winks like an eye from so far above
if no-one’s watching over us, commit some self-love


and then some left without a trace
and then the umpires showed their four-sided face
and then the dice was rolled again


isarobot incinerated
bradley gone and alternated
mccloud cursed to never lose
haley shadowed, carberry’s due
they’re just waiting for one more time
one slip up, one sacrifice
to bring us to our knees again
to tear to shreds the league again


a brand new set of champions to bring out the fall
gunning for a golden record, playing some ball
a power vacuum opened up, go on, take a look
the signatures have been erased from inside the book


and then some left without a trace
and then the umpires showed their four-sided face
and then the dice was rolled again
and then the teams looked round with fear
they sent their votes in packets sealed
and the strikes and the records and the eyes
and the memories it all brought back…


isarobot incinerated
bradley gone and alternated
mccloud cursed to never lose
haley shadowed, carberry’s due
isarobot incinerated
bradley gone and alternated
mccloud cursed to never lose
haley shadowed, carberry’s due
isarobot incinerated
bradley gone and alternated
mccloud cursed to never lose
haley shadowed, carberry’s due
isarobot incinerated
bradley gone and alternated
mccloud cursed to never lose
haley shadowed, carberry’s due
