Freshly painted the walls
Closing in at great speed
Forty seven missed calls
Lightly taxed ounce of weed
My euphoric recalls
Isolated my greed
In a world without those who we love
Threatening thunder
Shakes every cause on which i stand
Watch in wonder
As angels keep up with demand
Standing under
Crude banners they can't understand
In a world without those who we love
Raise another drink
Wish all these problems away
See your bubble shrink
Into each lengthening day
Add another few shades
To your fifty of grey
In a world without those who we love
So the lockdown is easing
Upgrade your 'A' game
Find it morbidly pleasing
Apportioning blame
It's in colourless wheezing
We find we're the same
In a world without those who we love
