Bruise With Wings — A Song Inspired by Los Angeles Angels right fielder Jo Adell reached for TJ Rumfield's deep fly on June 2; it grazed his glove, bounced off his head, and cleared the wall for a Colorado Rockies home run, echoing José Canseco's 1993 gaffe.

[Verse 1]
Little white moon with a red-seam grin
Dropped from the noon and came laughing in
Glove brushed fate, then fate brushed bone
And the whole damn yard found a brand-new tone

[Pre-Chorus]
They can loop that second till the colors split
But a man ain't the joke in the middle of it

[Chorus]
Bruise with wings, bruise with wings
Let the wall keep chewing while the crowd bell rings
Bruise with wings, come back down
I got both hands open on the cursed ground

[Verse 2]
There is an old ghost up in the cheap seats
Laughing through dust with sunflower teeth
It tipped its cap when the white moon flew
Like every bad legend had finally come true

[Pre-Chorus]
But legends get lazy when you stand back up
Spit out the dirt and tighten the glove

[Chorus]
Bruise with wings, bruise with wings
Let the wall keep chewing while the crowd bell rings
Bruise with wings, come back down
I got both hands open on the cursed ground

[Bridge]
Hey sky, throw harder
Hey wall, talk louder
Hey clip, keep rolling
I am not your owner
I am not your clown
I am the one still under it
When it comes back down

[Final Chorus]
Bruise with wings, bruise with wings
Let the wall keep chewing while the crowd bell rings
Bruise with wings, come back down
I got both hands open on the cursed ground

[Outro]
Come back down
Come back down
I got both hands open
Come back down
