lyrics

I hold myself in Quarantine
Living on rice and tangerines
Hibernate for health
Wake me soon from this Dream

Keep the distance
Try hard to stay back
Our existence
Is under attack
You insist it’s
Just here to distract

Up on the hill I hide
Till the day when it all subsides
Here till the end residing
What does it mean to survive alone

Mother earth is plotting
Of growing a new garden
Only heard by those who listen
And Heed her gentle warning

Keep the distance
Try hard to stay back
Our existence
Is under attack
You insist the earth
had a relapse

Up on the hill I hide
Till the day when it all subsides
Here till the end residing
What does it mean to survive alone
