Squares

Are we holding up or are we all burning out?

You probably worry bout it too much

just keep scrolling down

the safety of squares, each one

with something to share

some with crucial information, recipes, underwear

seems we're losing the plot, did we have it to start?

We'd rather think about the things we want than love what we've got

what a turn we've taken, what a way to lean in

just acknowledging we're broken and refusing to mend,

But will we ever learn from our misses?

will we ever stop taking the pisses?

can we ever come back from this?

I don't know

I'm not holding my breath but i hope so

it's been so long since it's been safe to be social, i've forgotten how

forgive me, I'm gonna need to adapt

forget me, I bet you already have

What more remains to be seen

besides the size of the screen

card games, movies, british bake off, it's all real to me

the safety of squares is something that we both share

there's still so much that we don't know we've still got time to spare

I've got your name pencilled in, who knows how long that it's been

since we've last seen each other? feign composure, break it all in

into the thick of it and getting pretty sick of it, struggling to persist, who gives a shit about

these petty grievances when the world seems it's burning down

all we've had is time to think, I think we've done it too much,

but after 20 shit months, my planner's filling right back up

bear with me, I'll try to pencil you in

forgive me, I'm gonna have to rescind

how are the next few weeks lookin?

i could've sworn i had more time on my hands

but you know nothing ever goes like you planned

I don't wanna die

But I don't wanna fight to stay alive

I don't wanna die

But it's so fucking hard to stay alive

This phone's a home, but it's a hole Idug to show my funeral's a zoom call, ask me for the link

think a little bit, think some more on it,

if you did as much doing as you did thinking, I think that you could bring yourself to be doing anything

think yourself to sleep and overthink in your dreams

if you did as much doing as you did thinking, I think that you could bring yourself to be doing anything
