my headphones

they play the wrong melody

but the singer’s words sometimes feel like my own

my favorite feeling

so I’ll put on these headphones for now

These headphones are bulky

I’m trapped underneath

the singer is free and I

I always think of an excuse

I’m still waiting, wasting time

So I’ll put on these headphones for now

they’re noise cancelling too

so easy to be distant

so easy. Submit. to the volume

you go first and I promise

I’ll follow right behind

And I’ll probably lose my chance

Still busy trying to escape

You’re further and further from your destination

And now it’s getting scary

and hopeless

and scary

so you’ll put on these headphones, I guess just for now
