Lockdown

I close the door behind me
"It's only for a moment
This dream will not be abandoned
I'm coming back soon"

Day 15-I'm connecting deeper
Is this deeper? Will it last?
Is it changing us from the inside?
Or is it just another castle in the sky?

Day 33-What if this never ends...
How much should I let go and when?
Some are swallowed by the system
Others fail in the attempt to just be Still

Day 40-I breathe, I play
I've found new talents
I let go of another dream
All around people are striving, I can't be the one to falter

I don't know the day today
I set out to learn to be genuine
To connect inwards as I flicker in this distance
Why are we fighting each other? Who will you pick to hate today?

When they say "we can come out of this as better people"
Please channel the most nurturing nerve in your soul and ask them what they mean
It's right there where we stop making shallow promises
Remember how communication can build and not just take space

And suddenly the streets are empty
Yet time won't stand still
I feel it moving in my veins rushing to catch up with my thoughts of tomorrow
That are beginning to dismay me

I cried once more, right after laughing
When will I hold you again?
Look you in the eye, play a song together
Sit back at the bar, I miss my friends

In my mind time runs, and swirls, and crumbles, and leaps
And I hold my breath as I play make-believe
I keep waiting for what's coming, forgetting that life is here
This is it, it's happening as I speak
