There's too much noise
it's all too much
the night-time is quiet
it's all the peace i need
there's no hustle and bustle
there is no rush
it's just me, the peace and the quiet world
i've developed a liking to this
this has become my new day
so much that i sleep in the morning
and get up late

Risking everything this time
you gave up your personal life
You are scared, but so are your
kids waiting at home along with your wife
The mask is always on and never off
warmth of a hug is what you lack
with this pandemic youre having a stand-off
volunteer or not, we're proud you chose to stay back
Doctors flying in all over the country
it's not just the hippocratic oath, take note
but this is the common enemy
For humanity or peace? actually it's both
when will this nightmare end? said the person comfy at home
while you're out there among this virus and what not!
Don't worry it will get over, you'll get to enjoy it all
So much that if something's missing, you'll know what.
The world is in your debt.

If a genie asks me my wish
Make me a teleporter i'll say
So there won't be the distance
The distance when i want to meet someone
So there won't be the desperation
The anguish when there's the miles between us
So that i wouldn't have to wait
The wait that makes me
Count my days as a shepherd counts his sheep
A jump through the phone, if I could
I would walk to you if that was all it took. But now
I wouldn't long to see you anymore
For I would be there in a blink.

It
raising the volume of music
to drown out everything else
it's nothing but a 3 minute distraction
like the grim reaper it waits
waits like a predator ready to spring on the prey
The very next second it vanishes
As I hit play

Oh how i wish they sold packs of happiness
How many do you want?
Just enough to make me sleep at peace

I've exhausted every option so that I have something to do
But boredom is after me like it's a ghost
People rant like this is a jail
Tell me, where else would you try something new fail after fail
This is a tangled time, atleast that's how it appears
You're at home for 18 weeks and not 18 years
Look at that couch-potato
What has he accomplished?
But now that I'm on the couch,
Atleast I can be a hero

The numbers are racking up
People dropping like flies
Only this time it's every
survival movie come to life
the world is resetting
nature coming back to it's glory
the science guys are at it
making a cure and creating history
What do we have to do? asks the extrovert
Why don't you become like me, says the introvert
All this time the government was spending billions
To save lives and to stop this spread, make people stay home
Why do you pay for that with money
When you can pay with common sense
