Quarantine and Chill
02:20

There’s a virus going ‘round
There’s no TP in this town
I miss you and it’s only been three days
So call me when you’re home, FaceTime if you’re alone
I need to see you in a real bad way
This feeling’s spreading like a virus
On a self-secluded island
I just need that human touch
But the best I’m gonna get
Without getting myself ill is a little bit of
Quarantine and Chill
So fire up the Netflix, we can start at the same time
Wish I could put my arms around you but I’m scared I might die
This virus has me thinking things that I have never thought
Like Damn, the way you use hand sanitizer’s kinda hot
This feeling’s spreading like a virus
On a self-secluded island
I need some of that human touch
But the best I’m gonna get
Without getting myself ill is a little bit of
Quarantine and Chill
I’ll put on a hazmat suit
Just to spend the night with you
I’ll distance myself socially
Mentally, emotionally
Even in the panic you still occupy my dreams
You’re my COVID19 Queen

All signs say catastrophe
Grocery store, like a horror scene
I didn’t take it very seriously
I saw Italy, now I don’t wanna touch anything
I think I’m just gonna wait it out
Watching it all fall apart from your couch
We've been in need of a break for years now
Maybe it’s a good thing
Maybe we should all chill out
The thing about the apocalypse
They never tell you there’s no non-essential services
I’ve been accustomed to my pre-pandemic comfort
And though it kinda burns, safety first
I think I’m just gonna wait it out
Watching it all fall apart from your couch
We’ve been in need of a break for years now
Maybe it’s a good thing
Maybe we should all chill out
Lockdown isn’t it a let down
Let it play out, sticking to the things that we need
Lock down, isn’t such a let down
I got some books I’ve been meaning to read
Maybe it’s a good thing
Maybe it’s a good thing

Chasm
03:13

your heart’s gaping chasm
you scavenge through its dirt
you wash your hands in secret
with sanitizer from your purse
pace a never ending sidewalk
‘round your excavation site
you were promised free and easy
it don’t feel like that tonight
Pain, pain, pain
it arrives and finds us here
in love, love, love
we disappear
There’s a payment and a promise
a looseleaf IOU
theres a common thread of comments
most of which are true
held hostage by the hopeful
you still pray that they’re right
you were hoping to get better
it don’t feel like that tonight
Pain, pain, pain
it arrives and finds us here
in love, love, love
we disappear
