The world has disappeared the roads are empty the streets
Except for the line ups outside the grocery stores all left
Not that it matters no not at all I mean we are born alone
We die alone and what is in between are only moments
Of laughs of rage for passion that is so fleeing like wind
The blink of an eye the catch of a phrase your voice still
In my head yes all the conversations I have ever had ever
After all what is memory but sound and color and meaning
You make me real or you make me not that important ever
I am able to make me all that is within my imagination mow
Now that there is time to be aware of just being here and now
Alone with this great empty space of being inside this planet
You see now irrelevant they have made us the pandemic rules
We have become a silent dot a pimple of the face of the universe
This pimple is shouting out across the planet hey you over there
Remember when we laughed till your faces nearly stayed that way
Remember that kiss that wave that memory of us tripping along
You in your slick wet overcoat and me in my cream arran sweater
We thought the time would last the day the clock would stand still
We never thought it would all be over so fast so vast is this empty
Where are you now in this lonely space are you afraid to speak
Awake now listen foe the sound of your own breath against earth
Listen to the whisper of the wind or the anger of that wind blowing
Human human human where is your being now you do not matter
Your only a heart beat away from death your lungs will stop you
Do not let that idea enter your consciousness dispel the fuckers
Curse them to hell and back these grimy bastards of contention
These makers of money these makers of big lies these con men
Would tell you you do not matter and do not dare you to sneeze
