Lyrics Teletherapy - Rhymer/Educator

Glued to the news like it's flypaper and I can't leave
Edge of my seat as each mayor addresses COVID-19
My wings are clipped
The scene is set
It's not so much the social distance
Rather that I was flippant
CNN trippin' about the economy, but I'm still employed
At least I was until the call came, now all checks are void
Shit's gonna hurt me
Feelin apocalyptic, like Will in I Am Legend
But no specifics
All I know is it's a pandemic
Kroger lookin' like Venezuela
Scarcity in a scared city they canceled la escuela
What's my position
Too many Joe-Blows-turned-physicians on my timeline
Andre in Hey Ya
What's cooler than being cool
Trusting the people that went to school
Not naysayers who play the fool
Kids still chillin' on spring break
I'm talking to my therapist from my living room
Ate a whole cheesecake, yeah

Marilyn, Marilyn
Moving out from the upper apartment
Been there for four years and now that the world is dark
Her fiance is parked in the rear
Rented a UHaul and dragging her shit down the stairs
Wouldn't normally care but each time that he's in and out
I can't help but think about
How many times he's washed his hands
Could it come through the vents
I'm hella tweaking
I'm disinfecting my game controllers
Tabletops and my lint roller
I don't really know if that last one's true
OCD's new and I can't control her

Quentin everything that you're experiencing makes sense
There's so much uncertainty with everything that's been going on
To start you can decrease the amount of bad news that you're taking in
Let's focus on the things you can control
What kind of things can you think about that aren't news related

Well sometimes I think about what it would be like
To go through this with someone I care about
You know rather than being alone

Well of course
And what might that look like
Tell me more about that
