  1. CW: dark Buddy Holly filk

    🎵
    Every day
    things are gettin' louder
    as our future crumbles into powder.
    Surely there's some
    way to get away --
    a-hey, a-hey-hey?

    Every day
    things are goin' faster
    on a roller-coaster to disaster.
    Things just surely
    can't go on this way
    a-hey, a-hey-hey.
    🎵
