Inside The Quarantine

about

"It's officially one year into quarantine, and I've felt stuck. I've felt trapped. I've felt cut off from the world. Over half-a-million have died, and it is becoming clearer and clearer that a "return to normal" is going to require glossing over a lot of grief and sorrow. I've felt helpless. I've felt like I was at the bottom of a well.

And then I wrote it..."
-Ross W Berman IV

This is the last single to be released from the upcoming Where The Light Don't Reach album, set for release April 2nd.

lyrics

I can see the gravestones rising
At the top of the hill
I feel my blood pressure rising
I take another pill
I’m not getting younger
Everything hurts when I awake
The news is downright twisted
It’s more than I can take

But I’ll see you in the headlines
I’ll see you on my screen
I’ll see you in the comments section
We’ll shake hands in our dreams
And hope still flickers faintly
Through the tunnel there’s a way
If I don’t die, I’ll see you at the festival someday

The temperature is rising,
so I’m soaking up the sun
And the weather’s never boring
In fact sometimes it’s just fun
And the world is never stopping
We’re working ourselves down to the bone
In fact, we’re working harder than ever
But we’re doing it alone

But I’ll see you in the headlines
I’ll see you on my screen
I’ll see you in the comments section
We’ll shake hands in our dreams
And hope still flickers faintly
Through the tunnel there’s a way
If I don’t die, I’ll see you at the festival someday

I can see the tide still rising
The levies gonna burst
I can see the people rising
Some for better, some for worse
The language of the unheard
The dance of the unseen
There’s a million cultures brewing
Inside the quarantine

But I’ll see you in the headlines
I’ll see you on my screen
I’ll see you in the comments section
We’ll shake hands in our dreams
And hope still flickers faintly
Through the tunnel there’s a way
If I don’t die, I’ll see you at the festival someday

But I’ll see you in the headlines
I’ll see you on my newsfeed
I’ll see you in the comments section
Your intentions, I'll misread
And hope still flickers faintly
Through the tunnel there’s a light
If we don’t die tonight, I’ll see you at the festival tonight
