My Apocalypse Baby - Joriah Kwamé

There's a place that I've found As far as I can see This place lies within The depths of my dreams In a garden surrounded By fire and trees Through the smoke a silhouette, I can barely see There's a man with an axe Standing in the rain Looked me straight in my eye This is what he had to say "Never fall asleep" "You won't wake up" "Destroy the guillotine" "Before he does" I walk with shadows ("You have to find a better way") I walk with shadows ("The questions I will never say") Hiding from the gallows ("They keep me safe and sound") So I walk in shadows ("The ways of burning down this house") End transmission The satellites are down I need an earthquake To shake this pity Off the ground "Just don't trust these liars at the door" (You have to find a better way) "Kill the ones that have these answers for" (The questions I will never say) "Never fall asleep" "You won't wake up" "Destroy the guillotine" "Before he does" I walk with shadows ("You have to find a better way") I walk with shadows ("The questions I will never say") Hiding from the gallows ("They keep me safe and sound") So I walk in shadows ("The ways of burning down this house") End transmission The satellites are down I need an earthquake To shake this pity Off the ground All the vibrant colors I see And the shades that fill the grey Pain The pain Pain The pain Pain The pain The pain Pain... Pain The pain Pain The pain Pain The pain The pain Pain Hiding from the gallows ("You have to find a better way") I walk with shadows ("The questions I will never say") Hiding from the gallows ("They keep me safe and sound") So I walk in shadows ("The ways of burning down this house")

Sweet child of mine, You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L Nobody's on your level This freedom trail you're walking is A long road to your apocalypse (Welcome to my apocalypse) That's the sound of our fate About to go off so get out of its wake Pull your Power Armor out of its case All the hours I've waited, been countin' the days I finally found my way out of this cage Now look at the town, to the ground it was razed Boston, I'm back, but I doubt you're the same Nuclear mutants fall out of my way I'm covered in blood, showered in waste Mushroom clouds came down like the rain I'll empty my rounds right out of the chamber Cuz when I go down I'll go down with a bang How many gangs are down to be slain? I'll make you my slaves - bound in these chains All of these cowards are shouting my name As I rise from the ground and come out of the grave I'm all that remains Guess I'm a legend But when I was steppin' out vault 111 I barely remembered the way that I left it I never expected a seperate dimension Survival's a lesson That's why I'm profession The bible I'm living by is my weapon I customize every kind that I'm gettin' Already in hell, got no time for confession We'll set sail for redemption Constitution - we'll defend it And if blood is spilt on bunker hill The fires of war will cleanse it All on my own, so many of them No wonder why I'm addicted to chems Friends that I've lost - I'll never forget Now kick up the action - give me some jet I don't wanna set the world on fire Just wanna start a flame in your heart I don't wanna set the world on fire I only wanna tear it apart Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Grab a Nuke Cola for the caps, man Where the sugar bombs? Let me at them I got no shame looting trash cans Make a bigger mess than a fatman Gotta get rid of my rads, shit Terminal hacked - granted access Shooting more rats just for practice If you got scrap, let me have it Cuz I'm building a shelter A place I can settle A roof on my head and a bed is essential Like hell you can get on my level Don't ever forget that they said that I was S.P.E.C.I.A.L Next stop, You can get off On the subway where the dead walk If you've been detected by a deathclaw: V.A.T.S. on - HEADSHOT No sweat, threat gone Just another target to check off Generation running and defense on Even better than any Protectron I'm the wanderer you put bets on No strikeouts - got the best luck Every blood bug's gonna get swatted Knock 'em outta the park - Red Sox! Head to Fenway - you can catch one Yankees? Come and get some! I don't wanna set the world on fire Just wanna start a flame in your heart I don't wanna set the world on fire I only wanna tear it apart Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse My love is radiating Come feel this warmth of mine These open arms are waiting Take you away in the sky Could this all be a dream? This ain't the Boston I wanted to be All of these Vaults are not what they seem Meant to protect us they kept us from seeing I'll know that I'll get to the bottom though I pass every test, like I am called the G.O.A.T Got a lot of knowledge after all I've read Screw the Jumpsuit, I'm not a bobblehead It's a wasteland but it's got perk Like my robotic butler Codsworth Help me out when I'm over-encumbered "That's a fine dog that you've got sir!" Downtown Boston a massacre On the food chain we're just scavengers Got the Yao Guai makin' matters worse Black bears with radioactive fur Check my Pip-Boy, got the best stats Hit you with a missile when I'm in V.A.T.S Nice Airship, I won't miss that The percentage says that I can hit that I'm just as fly with my jetpack Now revere me - time to kiss ass That's right raiders - better get back I'll go through you quicker than a stimpack Welcome to America Full of radiant places Not the land of the free Where the home of the slave is I pray that my children Get the world I was raised in I know things ain't the same But war never changes I don't wanna set the world on fire Just wanna start a flame in your heart I don't wanna set the world on fire I only wanna tear it apart Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse

I notice how she looks at me But I pretend that I don't see It's easier if I let the tension subside I've seen it in the books I read A magic that you cannot see There's no limitations, they wear it with pride But the characters I read never act or look like me I can't depend on 'em to lead me through the right door And what's the point of falling when I know I'm only stalling? 'Cause I have to go back home Where I'm just one in the herd, tripping ovеr my words Trying hard to go with the grain Keeping the quirks in my brain I'm on the brink of discovеry, I think But what if I'm dreaming? That's what it seems like 'Cause this girl thinks I'm part of her world And that new territory's scary If I turn the handle, am I asking for a scandal? Should I try to be ordinary? Baaah! I've always been a little odd The only pea inside the pod That's not an expression, I'm guessing, oh well See? That's exactly what I mean! I'm just as awkward as I seem Plus, she makes me nervous, I hope she can't tell What is it she sees in this cluster clump of me? Or, could it maybe be I'm going crazy? And hey, who am I kidding? This isn't some sweet beginning Just a detour to the end Then back to the herd, tripping over my words Trying hard to go with the grain Keeping the quirks in my brain I'm on the brink of discovery, I think But what if I'm dreaming? Do I rewind? Induce amnesia? Pretend I didn't see her? Succumb to stupid fear? Or just believe in my heart? Why play a part? Why follow the herd? Why not trust in my words? Don't wanna go with the grain! Why try to make myself plain? I'm on the brink of rediscovery, I think So what if I'm dreaming? I like the scene that I'm in And this girl is a part of this world The thought of being normal's far more scary I'll be brave and I'll be kind I'll make a choice and change my mind I will mess up all the time They'll say I'm weird, but I'll be fine I'll be anything but ordinary
