lyrics

although we're in a time that's bound to be historically significant it sure feels insignificant. and though we're all inside we write tomorrow's textbooks with our ignorance and knowledge of what could have been. we took a trip out to the water on the day before it started getting scary and the beach was mostly empty and my dad left me a voicemail he said i hope that you are safe and the waitress at the empty bar asked how long do you think this will take? because this feels like an apocalypse movie with a slightly slower pace.

and when they laid us off i started working full time at the liquor store specifically the stockroom floor. and people in their masks are buying crates of shitty beer and everclear in quantities to last a year. and as i drive home down the mostly barren roads i hear the noise bands fade to death tolls on the college radio. as i drift between desensitized and terrified.

and i'm so bored of quarantine. i'm bored of being scared that someone gave it to me. and any one of us could have it and nobody is safe. and what if my grandma gets it? is my family okay? i'm bored of how it's all i talk about but that's cause literally nothing else is happening right now. and i've got to calm down

so i throw another box in the baler and i stay for the duration of the show. because the highlight of my day is watching cardboard get compacted through a trash chute in the stockroom when it's slow. and i know that there's a billion perfect artists out there who can write a better song about this virus. but like everyone i'm struggling with my thoughts and so i figured that i might as well just try this.
