I guess I'm used to moving on
It's not the first time
I can ask politely
But despite me
It won’t be the last
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised
I guess I've seen a few
Revivals in my time
And you don’t choose whether
You're in or out of your prime
But I thought I was fine
Just thought you
Liked me better
Up to bat and
Standing in the light
You can lead a team to water
But you can't control the strike
And then you’re sidelined
You're on the sidelines
Can I embrace a brand new era?
Say my rituals in time
before I'm sidelined?
You still get sidelined
I’d ask you not to waste your time
Betting on a batter
Always sitting on deck
Waiting for a sign
‘Cause I, I’m just sidelined
I guess a lot is on the line
I guess it isn’t always
Personal or purposeful
The call is fair
The lottery is blind
I guess it comes and goes in waves
And though the universe is
Aimless and unstable
I see patterns
I need something not to change
But I thought I was fine
I only like me when I'm
Up to bat or
Standing in the light
You can lead a team to water
But you can't control the strike
And then you’re sidelined
You're on the sidelines
Can I embrace a brand new era?
Say my rituals in time
before I'm sidelined?
You still get sidelined
I’d ask you not to waste your time
Betting on a batter
Always sitting on deck
Waiting for a sign
‘Cause I, I’m just sidelined
Someone, please forgive me
I've been heading for the plate
But if I cannot take the stands
Then I do not deserve the stage
And I don't want to be forgotten
If my luck cannot avail me
If I come out of the shadows
Will my legacy prevail?
Or am I just another wash-up?
Am I damned to go out swinging?
I can’t hear you from the dugout
Is there anyone else singing for me?
You can lead a team to water
But you can't control a strike
You're on the sidelines
But you're not sidelined
Can we embrace a brand new era
While remembering the ride?
You're on the sidelines
We all get sidelined
I’d ask you not to waste your time
Betting on a batter
Always sitting on deck
Waiting for a sign
'Cause I–
You can lead a team to water
But you can't control a strike
And then you’re sidelined
You're on the sidelines
Can I embrace a brand new era?
Say my rituals in time
before I'm sidelined?
You still get sidelined
I’d ask you not to waste your time
Betting on a batter
Always sitting on deck
Waiting for a sign
‘Cause I, I’m just sidelined

SUN 2

Waiting on the rising sun
To lay its swollen eyes on me
Not a second oh too late
The heavy feeling fought to plate
And I am here and you are far
But we make burdens easy work
Darling, you’re my second sun
Shining on when I lose sight
Take my hand when I forget
That there’s a reason I’m alive
And I have sown a field for you
And I will reap what comes of it
Waiting on the awling sky
Punctured, let the light on through
And spring returns as promised, you
Start to believe in getting by
It’s midnight in the parking lot
I’ve never shone more brightly than
In stadium with several suns
Moonlighting once the day is done
Darling, you’re my second sun
Shining on when I lose sight
Take my hand when I forget
That there’s a reason I’m alive
And we have sown a field for you
And you will reap what comes of it
I will not take my eyes off you
When I think I’m not coming back
It comes on when the music hits
It comes on when I try to laugh
You beckon and I’d steal for you
It’s how I know that I’m still here
It’s how I know love is a choice
I make so I don’t disappear
Darling, you’re my second sun
Watching me where I belong
Keep the lights from going out
Keep the dark from coming on
Darling, you’re my second sun
Shining on when I lose sight
Take my hand when I forget
That there’s a reason I’m alive
And we have sown a field for you
And we will reap what comes of it
Oh, my my (repeat)

im gonna be
your hero
if you let me
im gonna take
this team home
i have a way
of striking out
the batters
call it "the betsy trombone"
washington state
has got a good thing
coming now
we've sat around
waiting to play
and i've got a plan
a pitch you can't see coming
leave it to me
i'm your man
if you're around
lemme show you how
seattle steps up
game after game
to the mound
and i'm gonna be
your hero, if you let me
i'm gonna make
this team proud

lyrics
i need to email god, i have some issues
and i'm placing my bets, cause i know who will lose
and i am checking my phone to see who's next batting
and i am tapping the button to accept all tracking
and i'm waiting in line for a ticket to heaven
and i am getting the slush at the seven-eleven
and i am manifesting the world that i would like to create
and i am checking my smart watch, because my uber is late
no gods
yeah, we're killing all gods
and don't tell me the odds
cause we're killing all gods
no gods
yeah, we're killing all gods
and don't tell me the odds
cause we're killing all gods
and i stay up all night so i can fight the sun
and i am buying the tickets so i can get more thumbs
and i am waiting in line for a ticket to heaven
i am getting the slush at the seven-eleven
and i'm going to engage in rational discourse
but god will not listen to my rational discourse
so now i'm punching god, and i'm punching him with force
cause he will not listen to my rational discourse
no gods
yeah, we're killing all gods
and don't tell me the odds
cause we're killing all gods
no gods
yeah, we're killing all gods
and don't tell me the odds
cause we're killing all gods

A great album that manages to tell a story with some absolute bangers! Lots of really emotional tracks that stick the landing. The instrumentation of rogue ump is so hauntingly beautiful accompanied with perfect lyrics. An additional shoutout to get normal, hurt people and mike townsend (knows what he's gotta do)
