Dullest Apocalypse

Get up again,
We’re in the grind,
Go to work
Did you leave on time?
Switch on the news.
Wait what did you say?
It’s all ending and that’s
Beginning today.
It’ll never be the same again.
I’m not getting on that train.
Lock the doors,
Stay inside and hide.
We’re now fighting
To survive.
I thought we were gonna
Tear down walls.
Turns out
That’s not how this works
At all
This is the Dullest Apocalypse
I ever dreamed
This is a change
I worried I’d never see.
War? War?
This isn’t war!
This is not war!
This is judgement
A-coming.
Where are the zombies?
Where’s the blood and guts?
Where’s the weapons
That we must learn to trust?
Where’s the brand new start?
The survivors’ group?
Where’s the chance for us
To reboot?
You said you’re happy
To break the rules.
Help me stop this rat race,
Redesign the face
That we show the world
I’m so tired of being
This girl.
I don’t miss the town at night,
Or the smell of your hair
As we stand under the stairs.
At that little place,
Where feet stick to floors.
But I’m guessing we can’t go
there anymore.
They’ve shut the doors.
They’ve shut the doors.
And this town isn’t ours anymore.
Stop the ride
Stop the ride
Stop the ride
Run and hide
Run and hide
Run and HIDE

Quarantine

Falling down and breaking
Up again
I never thought that
We would see
Such a time
Lock it down again
Keep it simple, my friend
Just don’t look me in the eye
Quarantine
Quarantine such a dream
You got me hanging
By my feet
Oh quarantine,
What a dream just me and you.
Let the silence follow me.
Let the silence follow me.
Oh quarantine
Give me rules
I’ll follow all of them
I never thought that I would be
Bored in the end
Don’t lie to me
This is the slowest
Change of tide
I’ve ever seen
Quarantine
These four walls never seemed
Like the cage that I need
But I now I see that I am
Part of a machine
These four walls...
Quarantine.
These four walls...
Machine.
I don’t need to believe
Everything you say to me
I just need to feel
Too scared to leave
I just need to be told
My life is on its knees
On the cold hard floor
Of quarantine
Let the silence follow me
Please don’t leave...

Alone

I wanna find a bar
On a street lit lane with you.
Our feet will stick to floors
That have never been new.
We’ll lose track of all time.
We’ll never be the same again,
You and I,
On different timelines.
But I don’t wanna be alone
Climb the walls of my own home
Just to be with you.
I don’t care
What ya say or what ya do.
I don’t dare
To be bad, just like you do.
But you just stare.
Oh what is it about you?!
I say I don’t care,
But I do,
Oh god I do.
I wanna walk home
On darkened night with you,
Holding hands and taking glances
That’ll never get to be new.
We’ll wonder
Where the night has gone.
Hearing birdsong, falling into
Some bed, with you.
But I don’t wanna be alone
Climbing the walls of my own home
Just to be with you
Let’s just pretend
And we’ll fast forward to the end,
And find a way to make it through.
Then we’ll never be alone
We won’t smother in our homes,
And I’ll be close to you.
Here we are in mid-air.
And we’re living without cares
Just to be free again.
I don’t care
What ya say or what ya do.
I guess I dare
To be bad, just like you do.
But you just stare
And I’m staring back at you.
I say I don’t care,
But I do,
Oh god I do.

City Is Dead

I think nothing turns out right
You turn your back
I say goodnight
You’re backing away
I’m spinning alone
And maybe I’m better on my own
The city is dead
And you are a mess
You shouldn’t be out alone tonight
It isn’t right
Just for a while
Everything’s perfect to go
Out in style
Careful what you wish for
Careful for how long
Careful what you dreaming
Dreams go wrong
And on and on and on
Is this the last time
I’ll run to her door
Head out without
Watching ourselves
Is this the last time
I’ll think of her
Laughing and drinking
At 4am
Is this the last train
To fly past my head
Is this the last time
I’ll feel safe again
One last time
Spinning her on the floor
One last time and then
Nevermore
I think nothing turns out right
You turn your back
I say goodnight
You’re backing away
I’m spinning alone
And maybe I’m better on my own
Careful what you’re dreaming
It’s gonna go wrong
And on and on and on

When the scars are healing
And the lights go out,
The static is too loud
To hear your shouts.
When you’re finished healing
Just step over the wounded.
When I’m done with your heart
Let’s call it schooling.
I need you to tell me
It’s ok, honey
Aren’t we?
When you can’t see the sunset
Because you’re waiting on the moon.When you rush through the story
The end comes too soon.
And I can’t see your face
When I look at your eyes.
And I can’t find the truth
When I love your lies.
When you know there’s trouble,
But you’re having fun.
And you love flying high,
But you’re too close to the sun.
And I don’t see me crashing
Because I won’t see the end
And I won’t hear the warning
In the words of my friends.
