i live in my headphones
“I can take a beating like a good pair of headphones” i live in my headphones in the lyrics and melodies that come from them i never know what song will come on next my taste in music has been described as polyjamorous i never leave without them if i forget them i feel naked the world is so boring without my headphones a constant cacophony covered by melodious voices and instrumentation my headphones provide the symphony of life and every day has a new soundtrack when i wake up in the morning i get up, get dressed, and grab my headphones i get on the elevator and hope no one else gets on so i can jam in peace “Living in this big blue world With my head up in outer space I know I’ll be A-O, A-O-K” i start the walk to class i’m always coming up with choreography i must look crazy while i walk “Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated If I would feel better just lightly sedated” i have dance class every morning and unfortunately i have to take my headphones off at least the accompanists play good music as soon as class is done i’m out the door with my headphones on sometimes i wonder if i’m missing out by not staying and talking to people “Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign Until I saw your city lights, honey I was blind” when i get to my dorm i always hope i can get the tv if my roommate is already using it i keep my headphones on “And the girl in the corner is everyone’s mourner She can kill you with a wink of her eye” i have a playlist of songs that remind me of my best friend when i miss her i put it on shuffle “A gift real special, so take off the top Take a look inside it’s my dick in a box” she really loves dick in a box “Now you’ll never see what you’ve done to me You can take back your memories, they’re no good to me” one more class i’m so tired my body hurts i’m covered in bruises from this morning but i love what i do so i keep walking “A-breaking my back just to know your name But heaven ain’t close in a place like this” at the end of the day i finally get to rest i take a shower i do my nighttime routine hopefully sleep takes me soon so i can wake up and put my headphones back on “It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams” i can’t fall asleep i feel like i need to cry maybe it’s because i miss home maybe it’s because i miss my friends maybe it’s old grief sneaking back up on me honestly i don’t know nights are the hardest “So I’ll kiss the air, And hope it finds you well Goodbye”
