These Headphones

Headphones on, volume up, then it’s fuck the world
I get comfort in these headphones
Listening to my problems accompanied with melodies
Gives me the escape I need from stress when I'm alone
Any overwhelming stress gets dealt with by this overwhelming bass
And it’s felt in the form of chords that take me all the way to outer space
While I'm up here my sight becomes my ears and I hear
Every emotion that I fear in the form of lyrics to a beat
And suddenly every issue is conquered by rhythm of my feet
As I tap my foot and break my neck,
Listening to all these different playlists
Each song manages to take me to different places
And these headphones become my drug and replaces my real problems,
Ever since I put these headphones on I seem to have forgotten all about em'
I get more of a reality through these headphones than life on a day to day basis
I tune out, turn up the volume and listen to all my problems that I'm facing
The way my problems are recited to me makes me feel heavily sedated
Because my getaway is in these headphones that I've been anxiously awaiting
I turn up the volume to drown out all these irrelevant predicaments
And these instruments become instrumental in my deliverance
From this false imprisonment that this life has given me
And after experiencing music I realized that I'm trapped in reality
But these headphones have powers, they removed those shackles
Fought my battles, made me a King and constructed me a castle
See these headphones gave me the capability of creating my own cosmos
Cause I control, the flows of melodic notes
I'm consoled, by each dose of this harmonic soul
When I can't find the comfort in life, I find that comfort in these headphones
Music as deep as a baritone in different varieties as a xylophone
Music has been a stepping stone, to me fortifying my vigor
People feel better knowing when others are going through something similar
Problems weighing down on you so hard you can feel like a prisoner
But listening to a song that speaks to you precisely
Has the precise means of altering your mood quite nicely
In a way that you insert "your name" in every mention of "a name"
No longer feeling ashamed of the being binded and constrained
Cause when your headphones are on, and the volumes up, its fuck the world
Every time I put on these headphones
This music takes me to another zone
Volume so loud my mind's blown
Then I take another step back in my castle
Remove those shackles, have a seat on my throne.
Cause with these headphones, I am at home.
