Can you feel the demise? The distance

Pushed apart now we’re picking sides

Our words become a plea when the absurd become obscene

Say this isn’t real

It’s gotten colder; the turn of my neighbour’s shoulder

The heartstrings are wearing thin

I’ve asked too much of every friend

Where do we go from here, when all we know is fear?

As compassion subsides

We’re fearful and restless

These lies. They bring the end

They’re the death of us

Say this isn’t real

It’s gotten colder; the turn of my neighbour’s shoulder

The heartstrings are wearing thin

I’ve asked too much of every friend

Where do we go from here, when all we know is fear?

The sinking teeth are pulling apart our skin

They push past the surface, now we separate within

We’re forgetting the feeling of body heat

The warmth in connection

Say it isn’t real

It’s gotten colder; the turn of my neighbour’s shoulder

The heartstrings are wearing thin

I’ve asked too much of every friend

Where do we go from here, when all we know is fear?
