[Intro]
Shh…
Hear ’em coming (yeah)
Dust in my lungs
Heart still drumming
[Verse 1]
Just left the vault
Rust flakes on the door
Sirens in my skull
Like I’ve heard this war before
Blue jumpsuit on
Blood spray on the sleeve
Deathclaws in the canyon
Something big in the breeze
Radiation in my teeth
I can taste that glow
Cracked mask, dry lips
Eyes burn slow
Can’t turn back now
Whole past turned ash
Numbers on the Pip-Boy
Blink, then flash
[Chorus]
Shh, hear them coming
Ghouls closing in
Breath smell rotten
Peeling skin
Radiation humming
Under my skin
My blue jumpsuit
And this gun, that’s it
Shh, hear them coming
Footsteps in sand
If I die out here
It’s by my own hand
Can’t turn back now
Got burned, got branded
World went under
I’m the one who landed
[Verse 2]
Bones in the playground
Swing set swagging slow
Kids’ names carved
On a sign half-broke
Deathclaws howling
Like steel on slate
Every shadow in the rocks
Got a fang-shaped fate
Cartridge count low
I recite it like prayer
Every shot that I fire
Takes a piece of my air
Vault door dreams
Still scream in my sleep
But the chains on my ankles
Ain’t half this deep
[Chorus]
Shh, hear them coming
Ghouls closing in
Breath smell rotten
Peeling skin
Radiation humming
Under my skin
My blue jumpsuit
And this gun, that’s it
Shh, hear them coming
Footsteps in sand
If I die out here
It’s by my own hand
Can’t turn back now
Ash in my track
Whole world dead
I ain’t going back
