In this terrible weather
where nothing ever happens
so uncomfortable,
so unreal, so blue
still, I saw the flowers bloom

Because you can't gag or bind
the force inside

Weirdest summer ever
but still we dare to walk
Scared at first, kept in our house
tears and cravings
over the Sun left outside
furious *******
we have to stay alive!
Thank God, thank God
We'll seize the day, and the nights
We'll outdo survival, turn it into little magic
to cope
not to die

The Sun approves.
It always does.

I see the children walk from school
I watch the people eat their food
and a hint of poignant - when watching
all the hustle, all the natural and good
It's the earthly order and power in chaos
It's our silent scream towards adversity
our ******* to paralysis,
the idea that nothing will make us stop
"we refuse, in fact, we can't give up"

And you say that it's affecting you
and we all are under the weather now
we can't give in, though

This is survival
and it's ugly as ****
but it's a scar we can learn to dignify
so kiss me, touch me, **** me
in those strange times
