During quarantine, time seemed to go so fast and so slow at the same time, and longing for meaningful interactions with some people was most of what I felt during the day. In the midst of a hopeless search for answers, I wrote this song, calming the storm in my head a bit in the process.

lyrics
Clock ticks slow, we feel so low
A blow beneath our belts
Days go fast, we see them pass
Not quite as we expect
A test in patience
Unyielding, unannounced
A bone to chew on
A shadow of our past
I'll stay still, you may go
Oh no
Tears will drop, the dread won't stop
I'll swap my hope with concern
Wait and see, no guarantee
That it'll be my turn
A test in patience
Unwanted, undeserved
A crumb to feast on
A curse upon our earth
I'll play chill, you might know
Oh no
Too far
Too close
Too far
Too close
Too far
Too close...
When it ends, we'll make amends
Ascend beyond our lines.
