For the foreseeable future
You are forced to remain at home
My thoughts go out to those
Who have to go through this alone
The numbers may shoot through the roof
Of the people who shoot through the roof…of their mouths…
Quarantine is such a hostile word
But we need it to shine we’ve got to flatten the curve
They say the sickness is our enemy but I swear everyday it seems more like me
My first thought in the morning’s how I’m going to stay busy
Checklists seem to help resolve some of the anxiety
I feel the itch to read, to to learn, to improve
But I usually end up staring out the window by noon
Digital faces, pixilated conversations
Held with those who are closest to me
I hate to say it, regurgitate this
But proximity is such a distant feeling…
Quarantine is such a hostile word
But we need it to shine we’ve got to flatten the curve
They say the sickness is our enemy but I swear everyday it seems more like me
