Take a look at these walls and answer me this
Are they closing in or is it just me?
I'm a good boy, I stay at home and in line
Days turns into weeks while I'm losing my mind

The world is shrinking, collapsing within
Wake, work, eat and repeat, the loop I'm trapped in

Tangled in this slumber, biding my time
How can I seize the day without you by my side?
Give me a flower or a sword to fill me with drive
I'm in need of meaning, a reason to be alive

Unwilling to cook, heal or take care of myself
When all you need is hope, what good is a car, money or wealth?

I was born to be free, unchained from want and need
Yet here I am, missing your smile and the way you look at me
I thank the screens for the view they share
Call me a friend or a soul who cares

Alone in this room, Adam without Eve
I look at the mirror and watch myself bleed

It's me and myself, the battle resumes
Dig dig dig, one or two tombs
Fed one, fed the other, can't bring them to peace
My mind is at war, I'm now on my knees...
Get me out of here!

i can't meet my own family
have to stay inside among a
room of blinds and strangers
isolated from my close ones

it is the worst day of my life
no other chance no other light
ridiculously lonely fights
gimme some space and a new face

painful memories in the making
there's no time for aching
no catchy phrases no money
i'll be dead soon right before noon

covid-19 is a strong breed
and it needs me as his feed
got no time left for crying
my dears i will be dying
Why can't we all wake up and be relieved that it was just a dream?

— The End —
