lyrics

I have all the time
To stay inside
Don’t want to be here
Take a walk in my mind
These long days
They all slip by
I don’t want to be here
Got no choice, too much risk
Can’t escape my feeling sick

I never go running but when I went out this morning
I scanned for a cat
Looking out a window proudly at me
Trying to lose my quarantine fat
The streets were all empty and the park is shut down
The signs all spell out why
In that moment I felt so alone
I could do nothing but cry

When this is over
We may not survive
Convenience destroyed us
Convenient the slow mass suicide
Ambulance sirens blare by
Another heart has failed today
But mine’s still beating inside
These houses are homes inside
And that cat in the window just caught my eye
I’m part of its pride

I slowed down my pace and tried to keep together
What’s left of the best parts of me

I went down the side street and finally broke down
I was glad no one could see
At the same time, I don’t prefer the end of the world to be quiet and boring
In my moment of weakness I thought of my friends
For them I want to be brave
And now it’s our world to save
