about

This song is about isolation, and the way it can affect you, and the people around you. It's not about COVID but you can pretend it's about COVID if you want.

lyrics

Step outside
I feel the air like bitter words
Hits me like the day I heard
That you had lost your mind
Crooked flash
You woke up with your vision blurred
The patience of a hummingbird
You shut yourself inside

And everyone can analyze
The thoughts behind your hazel eyes
But no ones going to empathize
And no one will write

Formerly
We were once the closest friends
Carved your name in to my skin
You let me open wide
So come outside
And let the sunlight feed your veins
Give in to your family name
And let them occupy, occupy

And everyone can analyze
The thoughts behind your hazel eyes
But no ones going to empathize
You threw away your puzzle piece
Put your head between your knees
And told your ma you couldn't eat
And you couldn't write
And everyone can analyze
The thoughts behind your hazel eyes
But no ones going to empathize
And no one will write
