Title: High Note
Prompt Page: Anachronism -> Retcon -> Happy Days #Chuck Cunningham Syndrome
Lyrics:
Going out on a high note, callin' it quits
don't wait for the moment we wish that we did
they'll be sad that its over (but glad it exists)
don't get caught hanging on when the alternative is
Someone come get your boy wayne gretzky
his grasp on fractions is at best a bit sketchy
you miss 100% of the shots you don't take?
Can I see your calculator, Wayne?
if you don't shoot you can't miss, can't mess up
let them think you're the best of what you've done
not what you'll do when you've got nothing left to prove
just quit while you're ahead
[Chorus]
Maybe we should've cut the mics at the first standing ovation
should've packed away our picnics before the end of the parade
cuz when you watch it peter out and now the band has long since passed
the confetti on the ground begins to look a lot like trash
if the magic's in the middle it means you went a bit too far
lets go home at intermission, leave the people wanting more
But will they notice you're missing? will they notice you're gone
will they send out a search party or convince themselves you're not
will they notice you're missing? will they notice you're gone?
everyone reminisces whether you like it or not
whether you're ready or not
Going out on a high note, callin' it quits
don't wait for the moment we wish that we did
they'll be sad that its over (but glad it exists)
don't get caught hanging on when the alternative is

Title: Stones
Prompt Page: Immunotherapy -> Organ Transplantation -> Robotic Surgery
Lyrics:
hey
can you hear me
I've been waiting for your call
there is nothing on this rock and
I am slowly breaking down
I don't think you
ever taught me
how to fix these faulty things
Now I am rusting
I'm eroding
I am code upon a screen
Somewhere 40 million miles from here
This planet, barren and lonely
This body, weathered and dull
This mission barely makes sense to me
Guess I'll just check the manual
These arms extending out forward
Reaching for something unknown
Waving up at a blue dot in the sky
Hey guys am I ever coming home?
hey
is it okay
if I miss you,
I don't want you to feel like I'm a burden
when I call you just to talk
I am pulling at my wires
trying to find what makes me tick
figure I might plug the right thing into the right place by mistake
And floating in the burnt red air
Somewhere 40 million miles from here
That planet, emerald and sapphire
This body, shiny and new
This mission finally over and
I rest in the cold light of the moon
These tracks extending out backward
Show all the places I've gone
But each hill's the same as the last one
Hey guys am I ever coming home
This planet, barren and lonely
This body, weathered and dull
This mission barely makes sense to me
There must be something I'm missing
One last unoverturned stone
Hey guys am I ever coming home?
