...Hello?
...Hello?
...Hello?
Are you there?
Bored of laying here, I'm feeling lonely tonight
It's all cool, just getting up to turn off the light
Now it's colder and my eyes just can't stay closed
These emotions feeling frozen and way overexposed
Can't you hear the shapes shifting
To the past before your eyes?
Can't you feel the apocalypse
Taking off its disguise?
Maybe you're just that much more ignorant than me
But when the mask is gone...we're all gonna see
Who the beast is and how he can rest today
When the rest of his world is only fading away
Emotions laying low and the reasons flying high
Lives increasing and their souls are only starting to die
Let's see how far we've come from Adam and Eve
How far we've come from when we all could believe
Can't you hear the shapes shifting
To the past before your eyes?
Can't you feel the apocalypse
Taking off its disguise?
Maybe you're just that much more ignorant than me
But when the mask is gone...we're all gonna see
Who the beast is and how he can rest today
When the rest of his world is only fading away
...Hello?
...Hello?
...Hello?
Get ready for another day in paradise.

I like this. The repeation of hello? works very well. Loved this part:
Can't you hear the shapes shifting
To the past before your eyes?
Can't you feel the apocalypse
Taking off its disguise?

Wooooow this is sooo good meredith! (I'm on my dad's blackberry) this is kind of different from what you usually write, but I think it's one of your better pieces. I could actually kind of envision this as a fall-out boy song
tons better than I could have done! Are you doing anything this week? I'm on the cape bun will b back on wed or thurs.

Nice write! I really like the lines "Can't you hear the shapes shifting, To the past before your eyes? Can't you feel the apocalypse, Taking off its disguise?" This has great, natural rhyming. Awesome job and good luck in the contest!
