Nothing is safe Half asleep, lucid dreams Of body aches, fever sweating thru pandemic disease Becoming a dystopian nightmare Living unseen with no sun for weeks thru hysteria At least being a loner I'm used to being locked down Never felt I was ever part of this place Escaping the world on 7 ply board, Riding ventures Grinding out the kinks in my head It's better than this mess at home Breathing air full of paranoia drinking myself to death Constantly refreshing the news Hoping the world we love to hate doesn't fall just yet Feels like the end of days With nothing left to lose Keep hoping things will change But the worst keeps pushing me To leave the past behind And keep our dreams alive First day of spring, quarantined Replaying earthbound for the first time since I was 13 Seeing old things in a new light, Help pass the days by Living like a recluse with no end in sight Leaving all the lights on at all times to feel like I'm outside Deficient of sunlight Having conversations with a cat Who could care less about Trying to figure out where my heads at. Lost beneath all the stress Having to suppress the desire to meet up and connect, Has turned into a reality check, Do we all really need to have affectionate human contact? Virtually numb from a 5 inch screen Reading memes that the end of the world is near. Send a letter to a friend to remind them even though we're lonely, This isn't the end Introverted since birth, Been trying to learn To get out of my head, And be part of the world Friends don't come easy for me. Self isolated myself from society But being forced into quarantine I don't think I'll ever get out this house and enjoy myself Or the fruits of the earth Until I turn into dirt, Escaping this cult of domesticity Feels like the end of days With nothing left to lose Keep hoping things will change But the worst keeps pushing me To leave the past behind And keep our dreams alive
