(Listen to radioactive by imagine dragons)
•Carl's pov•
I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

I wake up to a fat guy at the window. Dylan, Madi, and Delaney aren't here. My heart pumps fast. Where is Delaney?! I don't give a crap about Madi. And where is Dylan?! The fat guy drags me out of the car.

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse.
Woah

He throws me onto the ground as I try to grab my knife. He pins me down and tries to rip away my shirt.

I'm waking up! I feel it in my bones
Enough to make the systems blow.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm radioactive, radioactive
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm radioactive, radioactive

I scream. That's when I see Daryl. The guys start to beat him up. That's when I see Madi. She's being raped, but she looks like she enjoys it.

I raise my flags, don my clothes
It's a revolution I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Oh

That's when I hear it. And see it. My dad just ripped someone's throat out.

I'm breaking in, shaping up then checking out on the prison bus
This is it the apocalypse
Woah

The old guy stands me up and presses a knife to my throat. "I will kill him!" He says

I'm waking up I feel it in my bones
Enough to make the systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm radioactive, radioactive.
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm radioactive, radioactive.

Tears fall from my eyes. I want my mom.

All systems blow, the sun hasn't died.
Deep in my bones, straight from inside.

I slip from his grasp, and my dad grabs him. Stabs him constantly.

I'm waking up I feel it in my bones
Enough to make the systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm radioactive, radioactive
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm radioactive, radioactive.
