Songs No One Will Hear
Welcome, dear listeners, to the Mike Mills' "It's The End Of The World As We Know It And I... Don't Feel Too Good About It To Be Honest Show" Okay, so you've no doubt heard the news There is a massive giant fiery bastard of a meteorite headed straight toward Earth Wait, is it an asteroid or? Ah, anyway, that's beside the point Five months, folks, five months until our planet becomes a cosmic ashtray That's, uh, pretty grim news, not gonna lie Well, anyway, I hope you do stick around with me people Bеcause I sure could use thе company And we can ride this whole thing out together until the very end

Waves of fear flood the air No sound anywhere Now the word has spread from pole to pole As if time stopped, the world's on hold Softly now, cries are heard Silent whispers, fearful words Let the truth sink in, our fate is known Now it's coming fast, the end is close Time to learn to live with the fears that lie ahead Time to hold our own, and meet our bitter end Can we gather strength, surrender to our fate? Or will the world collapse, will we never change? Let's ride it out as the clock ticks down Men of science, brilliant minds Unite as one to save mankind This was not the plan, it can't be true We will find a way, we always do Time to learn to live with the fears that lie ahead Time to hold our own, and meet our bitter end Can we gather strength, surrender to our fate? Or will the world collapse, will we never change? Let's ride it out as the clock ticks... Crime is up, stocks are down, inflation's running high The whole damn world has lost its mind The working man, he quit his job, the kids won't go to school No more laws, no more rules She draws the blinds And she switches off her phone Alone in silence She doesn't want to know He misses his son Tried to call him on the phone They haven't talked in ages He just can't be alone as the clock ticks down Power's out, riots rage, the net has gone offline Chaos reigns, all hope dies She grabs her keys Gonna make her dream come true Finally see the ocean Before her time is through He lifts the glass And he swallows them all down His dream is over He just can't be around As the clock ticks down Nothing matters anymore Nothing left worth fighting for No plans to make, no life to build All desires left unfulfilled Time to learn to live with the fears that lie ahead Time to hold our own, and meet our bitter end Can we gather strength, surrender to our fate? Or will the world collapse, will we never change? Let's ride it out as the clock ticks down "Hey, so I braved the urban jungle today, people, and I couldn't help but notice there's a few, ehhh... what can we call them, "asteroid deniers"? Now, I'm all for questioning authority, but come on! I mean, I can literally see this thing lighting up the night, if I look up my window here *moves away from microphone* yep, look, no, I can definitely see this thing right up there in the sky! I mean, it's small, but it's glowing and it's on fire. *sniffs* I think I can even "smell" it."

It's hard to find positives in any of this but at least our corrupt world leaders and wealthy elite are just as susceptible to all of this as you and I. You know, a wise man once said... I forget which one, exactly? "Not ragged clothed, nor silver spooned, you're all the same when extinction looms." And boy, was he right."

He always thought his time would come He'd make his mark, he'd be the one So many hopes, so many dreams So many plans, so many schemes But the universe has other plans Now a path of fear and anger lies ahead of him I always thought I'd go in peace A ripe old age, a life complete But the universe has other plans And destiny dictates the fate of man As you gaze up to the stars It doesn't matter who you are Like the clouds up in the sky Your whole life is flying by What a way to die! She was adored, she was a queen Her star, the brightest ever seen She walked on air, she'd never fall World at her feet, she had it all But the universe has other plans And now she's just a puppet in the final act We always thought we had control So self-assured we ran the show But the universe has other plans And destiny dictates the fate of man As you gaze up to the stars It doesn't matter who you are Like the clouds up in the sky Your whole life is flying by What a way to die! What a way to die! "At this point, I'd usually encourage you to like and subscribe, and smash that notification bell... but, honestly, what's the point? By the time the algorithm figures out how to monetize the apocalypse, we'll all be stardust... well, I'm sure you've all been asked the question in the past "what would you do if you only had 5 months to live?" Well, what would you spend your last days doing? You can probably guess what I'll be doing. Oh, yeah."

Many are facing far greater hardships — losing homes, separated from loved ones. The dreams they held, the plans they made, the futility to endure this is becoming more and more apparent. How can we build on a future when there isn't one?"

Remember those days, the endless tomorrows In every way, we knew what we wanted Remember those days, the dreams that we followed And our lives had just begun Horizons expanded The future was open Our seed was planted And our lives were full of hope Would she be shy, and face the world alone? We'll never know Would she be kind, to heal a heart of stone? We'll never know Would she be wise, and right the world from wrong? We'll never know Would she be wild, adventurous and tall? If only she could be here at all Feeling so helpless The future's been stolen Lost and defenseless Oh, and how can we go on? Would she be shy, and face the world alone? We'll never know Would she be kind, to heal a heart of stone? We'll never know Would she be wise, and right the world from wrong? We'll never know Would she be wild, adventurous and tall?

That can't be right... Wait. Wait, what?! Ahem. Dear listener, it seems that this "Dr. Slumber" fellow is organizing a big blue bus for all interested passengers to go directly to the site where the asteroid is projected to make impact with the Earth and kill us all?! Is he even a real doctor?"

The people there are dancing and singing and... living. It really makes me think of all the time we've been wasting here in the cities feeling miserable. Now, I know I can't offer my solutions, but I'll say this, we're not dying today, we can still open our eyes today, smell trees and taste air today. So if you can hear my voice right now, today, we are not history..."

Why turn away, pretending it's not real? Live out our last days refusing to feel Why don't we fight it, try to survive? And make the best of what's left of our lives We'll find our way, just not today All I have done, and all that I've achieved All that I lived through and all I believed No one will ever know, no one is spared Does it even matter, do I even care? I'll be okay, just not today And in the end when all is said and done Our lives, fulfilled or incompletе? And in the end when mankind is gonе All that's left are echoes in the streets Nowhere to hide, there is nowhere left to run Give up, no need to even try An empty world, revolving 'round the sun Erased, forgotten by time We'll fade away, just not today All I desire is to be here with you Feel you against me is all I wanna do I'll be your everything and you will be mine We'll be together 'till the end of time And slip away Just not today Aghast! The internet and television have all been shut down, and so I've had to resort to a damn HAM radio broadcast! So, if you're still listening, how does HAM radio even work? And how did you figure out how to tune in!? People are fleeing in droves to "Sanctuary Island," the cities are in complete chaos right now, everything's on fire, people are looting the shops... I mean, really, people!? For what!? You can't take any of this stuff to the grave! You'll be lucky to even GET a grave at this point! No, seriously, just stay home! Or better yet, head to the island!

I. Sanctuary Island We escape the chaos here on Sanctuary Island A song is played and music floods the night Our final haven, a refuge from the violence Now darkness falls as embers light the sky The music stops as the sun goes down And silence fills the air Faint shadows hide in the afterglow Mere moments left to share We're prepared on Sanctuary Island The tension's rising, here on Sanctuary Island Our time has come, the countdown has begun The sound of evil, roaring in the distance All hope now gone, we'll never see the dawn The music stopped as the sun went down (We see the sun going down) And silence filled the air (In this place devoid of violence) Faint shadows hid in the afterglow (They are hiding from the danger) Mere moments left to share (We're prepared here on Sanctuary Island) II. Flight of the Asteroid Behold, don't miss the show Here we go, look at that glow Bring it on! Behold, don't miss the show Here we go, look at that glow Bring it on! III. Regrets His endless days filled with regret Mistakes he can't forget A life so hard, a life unfulfilled A scarred man plagued by guilt He should have told her but words would never come Every lie a secret war, he believed he'd won He thought the truth would break her Tear her world apart, it's pointless now This precious time is all we've got She had a lie, she buried in shame A child born his in name He always knew something felt wrong The truth held in the dark She should have told him and so many times she tried Or she could have let him know instead of all the lies She thought the truth would break him Tear his world apart, it's pointless now This precious time is all we've got IV. A Really, Really Bad Day V. Anger and Acceptance The earth will burn, whatever we do Wiped out, you're all screwed I stand my ground, never give in Don't fight a fight, you can't win We're all deranged, we're insane Face up, you can't escape We'll break away, out of this place You'll die in a fiery grave Here we stand on the shoreline Underneath a blood red sky Burning bright, its reflection on the sea A deadly light yet so serene Our world seems small Now it dominates the sky Its fire consumes the night Time is still, and in some way we feel so strong As we sing our final song I won't waste time, trying to pray That's right, accept your fate I can't believe we're all gonna die Back down, say your goodbyes There's no way to stay alive Can't stop the funeral fire Blast that rock out of the sky Too late, you're all gonna fry And me, I'm out here all alone I'm free, as music fills my soul Inspiration madly flows I feel no fear Writing songs no one will hear VI. This is the End This is the end The end of humanity The end of a dream The end of a race This is the end The end of existence The end of our reign A moment in space This is the end The end of utopia The end of all pain The end of disease This is the end The end of an era The end of regret Of all we achieved This is the end (The end of prosperity) The end of a race (The end of the wars) This is the end (The end of our history) A moment in space (What was it all for?) This is the end (The end of our paradise) The end of all grief (The end of despair) This is the end (The end of emotions) Of all we achieved (The end of...) *Meteor crashing into Earth* "Oh, my god, it happened! I can't believe it actually happened! Guys, I really doubt anyone will hear this, but by strange chance, if anyone's still listening, thank you. And remember, always look on the bright side of—" VII. We'll Never Know Reprise Would we evolve, transcend and persevere? We'll never know Or would we fail, burn out and disappear? We'll never know Maybe one day we'd reach out for the stars Were we alone? We'll never know VIII. The Last Embrace "Mission complete. Let the new phase begin."
