Curfew

It’s coming down

The tanks are already in the streets

There’s a curfew at the moment

He said it with a bit of sarcasm

Like the whole situation

Was funny in a way

That I couldn’t see

 

It’s coming down

The tanks are already in the streets

And they’re rationing the food now

He said seek shelter underground

Pray you’ll never be found

They scattered in a way

I couldn’t believe

 

How could it get so close to you?

With morning coffee in hand

Through the tube you hear the news and

And now it’s dripping off of you

No portal to

Escape through

 

It’s coming down

We always knew it would, now here it is

We never thought quite like this

The smoke exhausted sky

Veils the stars from our eyes
