Headphone Actor

It was a day like any other day

There wasn't anything that ever tried to get in my way

Until I listened to pieces of radio show

And they were talking about a very touching depart

We are with heavy hearts bringing word of this news

It seems the end of the world will be arriving today

So said a "so-and-so" leader from land far away

Speaking a tone that barely covered the sound of a cry

Outside the window a murder of crows had appeared

And they were covering the sky up two by two

And conquering all the crescent moon

All flying so far away from here

Playing a half finished game with no save now

I leave a barely read textbook in the drawer

When do the shakes ever stop? With this I'm barely breathing

So put my headphones on instead

And I don't know, what was the name of this song?

The title always ends up being unknown

Just then a whispering in my ear becoming louder

"Hey do you wanna try and survive?"

I think I feel the whole around me shaking

I think I see the skyline above me falling down

Now I think that I must really wrong about hearing this voice

Since it had sounded just like me

"If you now run about twenty seconds that way

And over past a hill but I know that you'll understand this soon

And I swear that these words are never false or otherwise

So run up the hill right ahead"

At the center the people had all crowded

Although the crying and screaming had all mixed in

Whether a man or woman

Didn't really care since it is the end

Another shriek from the crowd it was a ten year old girl

He's all ready to pray an older priest

And all alone I will follow through orders

To go beyond that old hill ahead

With headphones gotta listen to get outta this

"And down to twelve" you've got no time to slow down

But at this rate everything will be gone in a flash

So I don't really have much of a choice

I couldn't take the sound of it any longer

The crying and the tears were just starting to form now

Doesn't matter why, but the song of people would

Never stop singing although now it was ending

"You better hurry, now that you have one minute."

But hearing now those words they didn't matter anymore

Cuz that faraway hill now, that would save my life

Was staring straight at me right in the face

As all the breath inside had begun to move out

Standing was a wall that was colored the shade of sky

And behind that wall stood a murder of scientists that said

"Oh how perfect!" with a standing ovation

I don't understand

And standing from above looking down on my town

It looked to be just like something out of a science test

"Guess we don't need this"

As threw in a bombshell and let the whole town

Now just be gone in an instant

They told me I had lived my whole in a small box

I didn't even hear many words they were saying to me now

I could just stare blankly at the bitter remnants of a life

That never taught me much about the world

And the headphones still ringing in the slightest

"I'm so sorry" and held back cry
