at the table in the corner sits a man beside himself
wondering how he got here and if it's worth it in the end

the diamond calls, haunting every waking hour of his life
ever since he took that step to become a credit to the team
but he knows, it's all gone, even though his glove still fits so well
this blaseball fantasy, has it always just been a dream?

stay gold 
mikeyboy
you left a cleatprint in our hearts
stay gold 
mikeyboy
you deserve a retirement arc

he crossed the void, brought Jaylen back and just knew he had to leave
he went where noone went before and shamed the gods right off their throne
our shameful pitcher became our savior and now he deserves to rest
no more peanuts, no more birds

he's finally home

stay gold 
mikeyboy
you left a cleatprint in our hearts
stay gold 
mikeyboy
you deserve a retirement arc
