This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here
Huge success!
It's hard to overstate
My satisfaction
Aperture Science
We do what we must
Because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there's no sense crying
Over every mistake
You just keep on trying
'til you run out of cake
And the science gets done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are
Still alive
I'm not even angry...
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart
And killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now, these points of data
Make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta
We're releasing on time!
So I'm GLaD I got burned!
Think of all the things we learned!
For the people who are
Still alive
Go ahead and leave me...
I think I'd prefer to stay inside...
Maybe you'll find someone else
To help you
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke. Ha Ha. Fat Chance!
Anyway this cake is great!
It's so delicious and moist!
Look at me still talking
When there's science to do!
When I look out there
It makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the people who are
Still alive
And you bet your ass I'm still alive
You stupid Piece of shit!
UH OH!
I'm doing science and I'm
Still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm
Still alive
While you're dying I'll be
Still Alive
STILLLL ALLLLIIIIIVVVVEEE (Bleck)
Rolling around at the speed of sound
Got places to go
Gotta follow my rainbow
Can't stick around, have to keep movin' on
Guess what lies ahead
Only one way to find out
Must keep on movin' ahead
No time for guessin', follow my plan instead
Trusting in what you can't see
Take my lead, I'll set you free
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through, follow me
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through, prove it to you
Follow me!
Oh, yeah!
Danger is lurking around every turn
Trust your feelings
You've got to live and learn
I know with some luck that I'll make it through
Got no other options
Only one thing to do
I don't care what lies ahead
No time for guessin', follow my plan instead
Find that next stage no matter what that may be
Take my lead, I'll set you free
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through, follow me
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through, prove it to you
Follow me!
Follow me!
I'll make it through, oh, yeah!
about
We had this idea a few years back. Originally it was much grander and had many more tracks including a 8 Minute Medley and a Hades song cover. Unfortunately we have to write a new album but chose the two best children to let live... AND THOSE SONGS WERE STILL ALIVE AND ESCAPE FROM THE CITY!
Enjoy. These are top notch.

Thanks to us for being the World’s Greatest Band. Thanks to Erik from Telethon for always mastering our shit. Thanks to Kelson from Gosh Diggity for mixing and recording the drums and defining our sound. Thanks to us for recording it DIY in our homes and practice space. Thanks to Walker for dressing this up all pretty. Thanks to the folks who wrote these songs. Thank you for buying it. It’s a privilege that anyone cares about anything we do.
I love the positive energy of this album and the progression from social despair to hope that I also find myself swinging between these days. This has been my most played album for 3 years straight! So sick! rodhlann
