Walking with my music up loud

When I walk with my music up loud,

it\'s like there is no one around.

 

I just stare at the ground, looking no one in the eyes,

it\'s early in the morning so here comes the sunrise.

 

I feel like I\'m on the set of a movie,

as if no one can see through me.

The bass of the music thuds in my ears,

Oh, wait, did someone call my name?

That\'s pretty lame.

Im just going to pretend like I didn\'t hear.

 

Someone taps me on the shoulder,

I look up with a shocked expression on my face,

\"Do I know you?\"

The person says, \"No, I am a little older.\"

Then my expression grows colder.

Its a guy, I realize, 

in disguise.

 

I shut my eyes and turn my music up as loud as it goes,

maybe this is just another bad dream.

I feel him grab me by my wrist,

I try to twist away from him but he\'s too strong,

I guess this is what I get for always being alone. 

 

I hear a car door slam, or at least that\'s what it sounds like,

I hope it\'s someone here to save my life.

As I open my eyes I look around,

I sit up surprised because I\'ve been in my room the whole time.
