“Write hard and clear about what hurts.”
-Ernest Hemingway

Pandemic Blues

[Chorus]

I keep wanting to go back

back to how things used to be.

Before we’d blame reality, but now

now I blame you.

[Verse 1]

Time seems to be stretching out its wings

I need more of it, but without the pain

Days seem long and meaningless because tomorrow

nothing’s going to change

The streets filled with masks and angst

our insides overflowing with self-inflicted wounds and disillusions

[Chorus]

I keep wanting to go back

back to how things used to be.

Before we’d blame reality, but now

now I blame you.

[Verse 2]

And if I can just tell you how nights are under this pandemic

we would never finish

Unable to articulate these feelings we’d have,

we would drink or get high instead

And if I can put it simple

I am not sad, life is sad.

[Outro]

We’re all wanting to go back

back to how things were
