(don't) stay null

from caught in the reverb by the garages

track by zack.ry (@zackleston, zackry.bandcamp.com)

thought we’d maximized blaseball, prepared for a grand slam
heard the umpires scream while the void burst from its dam

but our celebration was cut brief
turns out necromancy isn’t cheap
now we’re left worried we’ll lose players while we’re asleep

there’s no rules we can know for sure
the book’s still unclear
there’s no sure way forward here
the ground is shaking under us
we’re feeling unstable
guess that happens when players don’t stay null

now we live in a hell of our own creation
our mayor is beaming more than hendricks richardson
so we messed around and blasphemed a bit
now the internet league‘s all scared of getting hit

could have used a financial advisor before this debt
there’s no rules we can know for sure
the book’s still unclear
there’s no sure way forward here
the ground is shaking under us
we’re feeling unstable
guess that happens when players don’t stay null

every game now has us bracing
for the day’s incineration
will this virus keep erasing
our brightest
no one said that resurrection would mean
that the dead would come back hungry
once they’ve fed we’ve lost too many
but they’re all credits to their teams

but there’s no rules we can know for sure
the book’s still unclear
there’s no sure way forward here
the ground is shaking under us
we’re feeling unstable
guess that happens when players don’t null
