Combs D. (by Tillman Henderson)

track by Victor Bustamante (@MeierHeights)

The sunny day you passed away
it comes to mind as dark and gray
they say the sadness does that to you
others say that's just the eclipse
guess we'll never know

what's funny to me is that you were really kind of fast
and the ump carried a gas can and a lighter
you took your stance, like you'd done so many times before
and then you died

And now and then I wonder about
how would it have been
if I was there that day and they had tried
to pull that shit on me

(combs, I miss you but you really did let the ball drop on that one, didn't you?)

RIV to you, but I'm different
R.I.V. to you but I'm different
If an ump tried to set me on fire
I'd just dodge and not die

We all wished you were here
when we swept through the league
You'd never guess kid
but we've really come far

Since the day that we traveled back in time
like a whole week
cause of something that you did down there
whatever you are

And I know if dethroning gods
somehow involves stealing bases
you will do it if they let you
though they probably won't

and I find pretty annoying
when I'm trying to sleep
and keep remembering the voices
that came out of your combs

[navy seals copypasta verse]

RIV to you, but I'm different
R.I.V. to you but I'm different
If an ump tried to set me on fire
I'd just dodge and not die

RIV to you, but I'm different
R.I.V. to you but I'm different
If an ump tried to set me on fire
I would simply not die
