Emojiland the Musical - Anyway Lyrics

NERD FACE: (spoken)
What if none of this matters?
This particular expression of our code,
The code itself, all of it!
What if nothing matters?
Our inevitable demise would carry less weight.

SMIZE: (spoken)
Nerd Face, snap out of it!
This is no time for a texistential crisis!
You screwed things up and you can set them right again.

NERD FACE: (spoken)
But what if-?

SMIZE: (spoken)
Nerd Face
(sung)
We are fragile
We are small
To most of time and space we hardly here at all
If we've vanished into air
Who'd be left to care
If there was no one there

But I can think,
And therefore I am
I'm part of the Universe not just the ram
And if I can love
Then isn't it true
Love that I give is from the Universe too
And every moment we're making the choice
We're giving the Universe part of its voice
Deciding what matters is deciding what matters

You can be the hero
You can save the day
Nothing lasts forever
But we matter anyway

No one's perfect
And that's fine
We just do the best we can
With our unique design
Sometimes input overtakes
And then we make mistakes
And somehow something breaks
We ask for a life that we feel that we're owed
When we get disappointed we curse our own code
We live in the future
We live in the past
Instead of in moments as long as they last
And if you've known evil
Don't mean to contrive
But spelling it backwards proves you're alive
Which proves that you matter
Which proves you can matter

SMIZE:                         NERD FACE:
You can be the hero      I can be the hero!
You can save the day     I will save the day!
Nothing lasts forever      Oh!

BOTH:
But we matter anyway

SMIZE:
So will you be the hero?
Won't you save the day
Nothing lasts forever
But we matter anyway
We all do

Emojiland the Musical Lyrics

It's Just so Great to Be Alive
Sad on the Inside
Princess Is a Bitch
The Progress Bar
Zeros & Ones
Cross My Bones
New Crown in Town
Work Together
Stand For
Thank Me Now
Firewall Ball
Pile of Poo
Virus
A Thousand More Words
Anyway
Start Again
It's Just so Great to Be Alive (Reprise)
