My Headphones
Your voice is getting louder now,
 So I just shut my eyes.
 But that won't make you go away,
 I know because I've already tried.
 This nightmare that you call a home
 Is slowly burning out.
 Along with my feelings of love for you,
 That are lessened with every shout.
 If I'd had my way, this haunted house
 Would have burned down years ago.
 But it's still here, and so are you,
 Screaming things that I already know.
 So I put on my headphones and drift away
 To a place where your voice can't go.
 It's here I feel that I am understood
 And I can make my feelings known.
 There's no one to judge me and no one to hate
 The person that I choose to be.
 It's here that I find myself all alone,
 And here that I'm finally free.
 The music is getting louder now,
 Your voice fading into it's sound.
 So go ahead and scream at me,
 I can't even hear you now.
