I live in the birth of Nintendo vs Sony vs Sega
Trying to beat that high score in the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat
Combat with a K
That innovative ****
I survived the destruction of Sega Dreamcast
As they became third party
And Microsoft took their place with Xbox and Ninja Gaiden
Alive from that old arcade
I live in the awing of the interactive Wii
And internet friendly Playstation 3
I also live in the original Mario Bros and Pac Man and...
Terminator vs. Robo-Cop
Yea
I bet you don't remember that one
Or Galaga or Excitebike
Or even that good old
Asteroid, space dodging, alien blasting
Spacce Invaders!
Yea, I'm from Nintendoland
No... Segaworld
Nah... Sony City
Nu uhn... Microsoft...
Can't even think of a place for that
I am from that video gamer nation
That fight, hack, slash, race, create, explore, role-play
Even play those insane sports
See I'm from that...
See, I am from that...
I am from that
Video gamer heaven descended
That has that powerful curiosity and love for that
Space Invaders!
No
That love for all video games
And that memory of the ****** game graveyard
Where E.T. now resides...
See, I'm part of the new gen
Trying to play Street Fighter 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Star Ocean
Saying "I go harder than you young bloods cause I played
Space Invaders!"
So, what era am I from?
I'm from the era of all gamers
Playing Space Invaders
Space Invaders!
I'm from the
"Game of the Year goes to..."
Mario, Tekken, Metal Slug
Namco, Sega, Bandai, Konami
All those companies that started as something else
But realized their calling was for our nation
Cause you see
I'm from that
Old school Nintendo
New School Wii
Old school Playstation
New school PS3
Old school Sega
New school Microsoft 360
I'm from a legacy that always succeeds in giving us dreams
That always seem to revert back to that
Old school
Asteroid, space dodging, alien blasting
Space Invaders!!!!!
For those who enjoy playing some video games.
These are words I hope I never have to say
And words I hope you never hear.
I only wish I could be a better friend
The friend you deserve, the friend you need
Who would have the strength for both of us
And all the right words, and all the patience I lack
You are my friend, and few people understand
What that even means.
And I thank you.

I only wish I could have saved you.
You are not dead, but you are gone.
You have not given up, but you've fallen silent
Just the same. I wish I could hear you sing again. with
Innocent love and childish joy
Instead of a bitter tongue.

But the birds are silent and the snow is cold.
If all my blood could save you,
If I could take your burden -- scar for scar
With the same hand biting my flesh --
I would in a heartbeat. I would fight
And scream and die for you
If it could save you.

There is so much more than now in this world
And it all works to bring us apart.
I cannot fight time, or passion, or you
Nothing remains but the past as I remember it
And you forget it.

I still wish I could save you.
Take my blood, for it is all I have to give.
Take my love, for it is not mine to keep.
It does not matter who you are
It does not matter if you are smart enough
Pretty enough
Good enough
Don't you see, it doesn't matter -- I pray,
I pray, if there is nothing I can do
Let someone save you.
You were my friend.

Tonight I will close my eyes
and remember that there are people
more beautiful than I,
more purposeful than I have ever been,
more wonderful than I could dream.

And tonight I will close my eyes
with a prayer falling from my lips
because they are also
more broken than I,
more afraid than I have ever been,
more lost than I could dream.

Why is it that all the best
suffer all the worst?

So much
for
fairness.
Goodnight, beautiful people. I love you.
