Sitting in my bedroom
And it’s half past noon
So lazy like I got nothing to do
The air smells like doom
And people say that the world’s end looms
At this point can I just go live on the moon?
Kinda miss hugging my friends
and going out to get milkshakes
But yesterday they said “No more handshakes!”
Wanna greet someone, just say “Namaste”
And so, as more people were feelin’ under the weather,
Today they say “At home you must stay!”
Sometimes I don’t really know
What time or day it is anymore
Quarantine season got me feelin’ so damn bored
and day by day
the number of people going west gets me so floored…
No I won’t look at another damn tweet
For a couple of hundred other weeks
Don’t wanna get caught up
in a tragic news headline affair
Entangled in scary conspiracy theories
That lets in the anxiety
And sets my mind running
Then I feel like the sky’s falling.
Then I wonder
“Oh God, what if that was me?”
Cause shit is starting to get real
Going out to get groceries
Roads deserted and so lone
I don’t remember it feeling like such a warzone
When masks are the helmets
Coughs and sneezes are the bullets
And we stay vigilant
Lest we get shot and succumb
Wish this goes back to normal,
If it ever does
It’s going to be a cruel summer
But at least we think we’re still alive
And for that, then we’ll probably survive.
