This was a triumph
Im making a note here: huge success
Its 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 theres no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive
Im not even angry
Im 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 were out of beta, were releasing on time
So Im 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 Id prefer to stay inside
Maybe youll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Anyway this cake is great
Its so delicious and moist
Look at me still talking when theres science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad Im not you
Ive experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me I am still alive
Im doing science and Im still alive
I feel fantastic and Im still alive
And while youre dying Ill be still alive
And when youre dead I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive
