SIX AM

[Sample - Bon Iver]

Turn around, you're my- you're my- now-, A-Team
Turn around now, you're my-, now-, A-Team
(*Plays throughout*)

[Verse 1]

Up all night with these thoughts in my head
I know I should be asleep instead
The sun's coming up, the skies are turning light
But the worries in my mind are just burning bright
For instance, I've been indoors due to COVID-19
The chances of a cure in a month so unlikely
Boris has a lockdown in place, with acclamation
But is there such thing as too much isolation?

The fact I'm stuck indoors all day is a tragedy
No friends in my prescence but my family
I should be at the studio, making more hits
But they shut it down, fearing things'll get morbid
I could go for a walk, alone for 60 minutes
But there's not many places open for a visit
All my plans for the future packed loosely
Don't know what to do, other than go back to sleep

[Verse 2]

As I sit here, writing these lyrics so fluient
I wonder if Dan's proud of me for what I'm doing
As he watches from somewhere that I don't know
If I died yesterday, where would my new home go?
And what of Luis, Joel, Albert, Aka and Charlie?
Would they be 'round when this is over to party?
Miss Corona won't let up, that's a given
I would pray to God, but I don't think he'd listen

What about the care home that I'm working at
And the things that might be occurring at
That familiar place, outside my hometown
Residents healthy, after their brains have broke down
Sure, the joy I have doesn't pay an awful lot
But at the moment, I feel as though that's all I've got
Hope I'm not laid off, hope my job's not toyed about
'Cause I'd be fucked if I become unemployed now

[Verse 3]

I wonder at times, am I just overthinking?
My head pounds, but I haven't been drinking
So much going on, so much frustration
Maybe I should take myself out the equation
"But nah bro, that's not the answer
Wait 'till life gets better, give it a chance sir
Just stay inside, if it means you'll keep your health."
That's just some things I tell myself

Self-isolation's being a long haul
I develop cabin fever, caged by these 4 walls
I wish I could ignore emotional overlay
Grab a few things and become a run away
But I don't see a change in pace for a while alright
Guess it's best to sleep all day and work all night
Maybe it's best that my days be shortened
So don't wake me up, unless it's important!
