The King of Framing

Verse 1

Old school

Back in two thousand nine

I spent my lunch break in the computer lab

Watching you

Watching you load

Digital muzzle flashes

Yellow sparks flying out across the screen

You were the king of the frame

Manual tracking

One frame at a time

Chorus

Oh Freddie

Where did the rocket launchers go

You had the magic in your hands

Making movies in the backyard dirt

Render cycles

Render cycles

Building a world out of nothing at all

Freddie

You made the pixels come alive

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Freddie

Oh oh oh

Freddie

Verse 2

Ripping through the valley in a modified ride

Action hero pose with the glasses on your eyes

Brandon at the desk while the green screen glows

Heavy on the keys see the way the sequence flows

Physics

Broken

Gravity is just a suggestion to a man with a mouse

Turning every living room into a haunted house

Fast cuts

Quick time

Low budget feel but a high stakes mind

Never needed millions just a lens and a find

Upload

Viral

Counting up the views like a digital spiral

Chorus

Oh Freddie

Where did the rocket launchers go

You had the magic in your hands

Making movies in the backyard dirt

Render cycles

Render cycles

Building a world out of nothing at all

Freddie

You made the pixels come alive

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Freddie

Oh oh oh

Freddie

Bridge

I used to think that you were real

I used to think that you were real

I used to think that you were real

Before the high school halls grew cold

Before the stories all got old

You were the wizard

You were the teacher

You were the legend

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Oh Freddie

Where did the rocket launchers go

You had the magic in your hands

Making movies in the backyard dirt

Render cycles

Render cycles

Building a world out of nothing at all

Freddie

You made the pixels come alive

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Freddie

Oh oh oh

Freddie

Outro

Still clicking

Still render

Exporting the dream

Just a kid with a camera

Freddie

Freddie

End clip

Black out
