Nonexistent Rep (feat. Dylan Wager)

Hey, it's The Boy, Abe Quellis
Listen, you guys are ready
I'm tellin' ya next week, I'm booking you guys right at the Garden
No, even better the Garden of Eden
No! Even better The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
What's the matter, can't travel back to ancient times Bill&Ted style? You know movies are real
That's a lack of confidence buddy
Y'all are too worried about your nonexistent rep

Your nonexistent reputation leaves a calm persuasion something of a nonexistent possibility (don't exist)
Maybe a new perspective, something a little less than what you'd expect from someone with my credibility (don't exist)
With less time and money I'd be set for life on a cold wet plywood rotting stage that melts away beneath my feet (don't exist)
You don't impress, not my excess, you'd think a little band like you would express a little gratitude (gratitude) to me (don't exist)

Thank you for your time
Much appreciated
Nonexistent Rep! Nonexistent Rep!
We'll keep workin' on our nonexistent rep
Nonexistent Rep! Nonexistent Rep!
Well without you, we'll all be sad and dead
(Just uh, reach me whenever you can 555, uh 5
Give me a call back)

I tried to dig through your old messages to find some words but I'm not high enough to understand
It's easier to build a crowd than a stage but nothing leads to nothing and it's nothing in your hands
In your own head you got the twist of some ol' gist and somehow we'd become part of the plan (some ol' gist can't do)
Well, to make a long one short if you come on down and took a look around, you'd hear just where we stand (just take a look around)

Thank you for your time (thank you for your time)
Much appreciated (y'know that we love ya)
Nonexistent Rep! Nonexistent Rep!
We keep workin' on our nonexistent rep
Nonexistent Rep! Nonexistent Rep!
Well without you, we'll be crawling down in pain
Crawling down in pain

You let 'em down
You're nonexistent
Best to just give up
Take off your clown
Make up a reason why
