about

A song about lockdown, loneliness.

lyrics

I’m holding myself together
With chewing gum and gaffer tape
crossed fingers and the lords prayer
But the seams are stretched
and I don’t think there’s anyone there.

It’s been months alone
The bunkers cold
I’m not letting anyone else in to my home
Until this pestilence and fear
are gone gone gone


I’ve been Bunkered down too long
Been months now since I saw the dawn
Come hold me tight take the pressure off.
My weary bones need love no matter the cost

I’m keeping it all together
With masking tape and superglue
Trying not to let anything through
But the cracks are wide
And there’s nothing more I can do


And my threads are bare
My eyes are dry
I’ve read too many books and now I’m tired.
I’m not going anywhere for now
But I’m still trying

I’ve been Bunkered down too long
Been months now since I saw the dawn
Come hold me tight take the pressure off.
My weary bones need love no matter the cost



I’ve been Bunkered down too long
Been months now since I saw the dawn
Come hold me tight take the pressure off.
My weary bones need love no matter the cost
