Unprecedented

from I R L, U R L by The Idol Rich

/

lyrics

I think you already know this

but we have not been here before

.
They call these times unprecedented 

and I don’t care anymore

.

We watch the cracks in the paintwork grow longer

shoddy and broken


while I catch snatches of desperate words

that are heard but not spoken

.

Well the outside is still outside
,
somehow we are not and I am not OK with this

Someone tell me that is alright.


In your lifetime, looking backwards,

did you every think you’d see such days as these?

Well, I thought I might

And I’m alright
.
I’m alright.



I get the feeling I was born for this, somehow, at first,
but now I am certain
.
I can hide under the blankets of silence and loss

draw my curtains

.

As we learn nothing from experts
and see without thinking
.
We try to suffer in comfort though,
and function without drinking.


Well, the outside is still outside

but somehow we are not and I am not OK with this -

tell me that is alright, someone

.
Because I miss people -
So many people that I have not seen in such a long,
long time before all this even happened.


So, maybe one day we might get there - standing closer or holding hands or
sharing anything in the sunlight again
.
And be alright again.

And be alright.
