I swear… I only looked away for one second. Fake dawn lights on painted walls Same old song through the ceiling halls Canned beans cold on a metal tray Another perfect underground day My little beast in the corner chews On wires that we probably use I say “don’t touch that” He looks at me Like rules are just old history Then the sirens start to wake Fork still hanging from my plate Steel door grinding like a grave And I’m too late I’m too late My pet opened the apocalypse Sunlight crawling through the cracks I was living in a metal womb Now the whole damn world wants me back I was safe in my little lie Now the day is burning wide My pet opened the apocalypse And the door closed from the other side Outside smells like rust and teeth Dust kicks up from concrete seams He finds a cap and calls it gold Sleeps inside a soldier’s bowl I check my knife, I count my rounds He’s chasing bugs through toxic ground Level one with a kitchen knife No map, no plan, no second life But he’s not scared No, he’s not scared He makes a crown from empty cans I see the end He sees the road I see the fire He sees a home Do not push Means push Do not push Means push Red light Dead lock Bad luck Steel drops My breakfast died My bunker lied My tiny friend Just baptized me outside The world is dead The world is loud He curls up close No going back now My pet opened the apocalypse I was hiding from a ruined world Now I’m learning to fight back My pet opened the apocalypse And I’m still standing on the other side He pulled the lever I crossed the line Guess the wasteland’s ours tonight.
