Lyrics[]
[Intro]
My skin's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Installed Half Life at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could kill [?????]
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Chorus]
My skin's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Installed Half Life at all at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could kill [?????]
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Verse 1]
Dear Gabe, we wrote you about Half Life but you still ain't answering
We left our emails unchecked spam filtering
We sent two emails back in autumn
You must have not got 'em
There probably was a problem with the valve inbox or something
The filter must have got 'em
But anyways, fuck it
What's been up man?
How's the vibe?
[?????] in the mail confirmed now as it'd got alright soon
If you'll play with it, yes, we would use
We will load Half Life
We read about your [?????], too
We're sorry
We all have friends
