The Day the World Paused (Patreon)

Stopped trying to wake up the day the world paused

My body was wrapped in the sheets

Like a once mighty Pharaoh now humbled by eternal sleep

Did I have any might to begin with

Was anything really lost?

The day the world paused

Stopped writing in planners the day the world paused

My mind lost the concept of days

Wednesdays and Fridays and Sundays and Mondays they felt all the same

Did I have any days to begin with

Was anything really lost?

The day the world paused

Now the world’s slowly turning

Lights again burning

And people are out on the streets coming back to

The lives that they left

And their promises kept

Oh I’m happy for them, yes I’m happy for them

As I watch on my feed

Still afraid that I need

A new cure for paralysis

These feet are stone cold again

It’s fucked up but I’m missing it

The day the world paused
