Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In quarantine — that's where I've been,

Waiting on salvation that's never gonna come.

Am I a risk? Are they a risk to me?

If this ain't no prison, can you tell me when I can leave?

[Chorus]

A means to clean, the regimen deems fit for us.

An obscene ravine rips at the seams between us.

A cog in the machine, I'm right where I have been —

Stuck in quarantine.

[Verse 2]

It's hard to fight that enemy,

When that enemy is inside me, and it's one I cannot see.

Do you know the way? Can you show it to me?

'Cause I've been bouncing off my walls and glued to my TV.

[Chorus]

A means to clean, the regimen deems fit for us.

An obscene ravine rips at the seams between us.

A cog in the machine, I'm right where I have been —

Stuck in quarantine.

[Outro]

A means to clean, an obscene ravine — do you see that I'm stuck inside a'... (x4)

A means to clean, an obscene ravine — do you see that I'm stuck?
