Quarantine

I am the skeleton trapped within your closet
I am that dusty bookend sitting on your shelf
And when it's early in the morning and it's pouring
I'm condensed to your windowpane
And when you're thinking of the things you should have done
I'm wrapped around your brain
I'm wrapped around your brain

And now we hide away in quarantine
We think of all the memories that have gone
The secrets that have never seen the sun
Don't save me
Or stray from me
We're creatures of the dark
Sometimes we need a place to start

I am that Roman man fooling your apostles
I am your long lost friend taking you for granted

I am the only one you'll ever love
I am the fallacy you see above
I am the only one you'll ever need
I'm the expectation you won't exceed
I am the dream you had eons before
That never went away, and haunts you more

And now we stowaway in quarantine
We think of all the things we could have been
The fragrance of her skin when she said
"Don't save me
Or stray from me"
We're creatures of the dark
Sometimes we need a place to start

I am the skeleton trapped within your closet
