They turned off the streetlights on Saturday
Blocked the main road and canceled the holidays
Told the people to stay calm and stay in their homes
The possums ran free on the avenue
But there was no garbage to get into
We're in this together and we're still alone
Take stock and keep faith like an amateur
Things weren't quite as safe as you thought they were
Tie up all your loose ends and crawl in your phone
Let go of small things you've been worshiping
Recall the warm breath of a living thing
You're a part of a puzzle and you're still alone
Lost in the past tense
You won't have the good sense
To sweep the dust on your floor
Make a decision
Peripheral vision
Sees movement outside your door
