2020, you ain’t funny
What have you done?
Friends lost, so high a cost
They’re gone, one by one
2020, took my money
Didn’t need a gun
Burning bridges crossed, a chilling summer frost
We’re all on the run
2020, ain’t sweet like honey
It feels more like a hit and run
Paths no longer cross, why don’t we all get sauced
Looking out for number one

I’ve not gotten any sleep
Two dead tonight, ten this week
Buzzers buzzing, code blue
It’s what we do
She tries but cannot speak
A lonely tear sits on her cheek
Me, a stranger holds her hand
I notice a wedding band
She died, her name was Rose
I call her husband on the phone
A lake of grief a big black hole
Event horizon so cold
Is this hell? Is there a heaven?
Three tonight, that makes eleven
I am empty, I am weak
I’ve not gotten any sleep

This is a song about COVID-19
A virus like you’ve never seen
Slowly it started and gathered some steam
Now we’re social distancing
Some say it’s nothing, to some it’s quite fatal
Some say it’s part of a plan
Take care of each other Is all we were asked
But we fight and we bicker about wearing a mask
Our leaders are focused on their number games
While our lives and our jobs they go up in flames

Quarantine

What will I do today?
Tomorrow’s yesterday
Few days go fast
How long can it last?
This quarantine
Is this how hamsters feel?
On their little hamster wheels?
The sun rises and sets
Could this be as good as it gets?
Here In quarantine
Quarantine ain’t easy
Quarantine ain’t hard
You get quite sleepy
You quite bored
In quarantine
What’s that you say?
The all clear was yesterday
It’s safe to go outside
No need to run or hide
Back in quarantine
