QUARANTINE - WALTER EGO feat. CORNELIUS lyrics

In the news today, Coronavirus COVID-19, the outbreak which began in Wuhan, China has left tens of thousands sickened and more than 16,000 people dead. The Coronavirus which surfaced in Chinese seafood and poultry market late last year has spread to at least 166 countries killing more than 16,000 and sickening tens of thousands of people in a matter of weeks. The World Health Organization had declared the situation, a pandemic. At the time there was no evidence that the virus was readily spread by humans. Health Officials in China said they were monitoring it to prevent the outbreak from developing into something more severe. Now other countries including United States confirmed cases.

"And this Coronavirus is absolutely insane... I mean how can it have happened? The outbreak is unprecedented. And how can I, how can we, help others if we can't even help ourselves?"

Help me, save me, baby from this drowning.

Quarantine me, baby to your body.

Help me, save me, baby from this drowning.

Quarantine me, chain me to your body.

The unseen enemy creeps in like smoke in the street, in clouds above me it hides in the city, fear sets up camp it's invisible silent, this entity or is it entirely in my head? Brain dead, brain's dread, existential crisis, can I control my mind or is it turning on me like Donner Party, eats me alive flesh decay virus eating its way through me. Stay 100 feet away, from infection this infestation I'm tossing, turning, flu like symptoms. Can’t let my own brother in for fear he might be carrying. History will read 2020 devastation, death on grand scale no terrorist group but mass execution no one to point fingers to, vacancy in countries, mothers are crying. Fog comes in and covers everything, no hope for your families, paranoia, going crazy, in one room for weeks must buy more days on end or these days will be the end of days for me.

Help me, save me, baby from this drowning.

Quarantine me, baby to your body.

The United States now has the world's largest and fastest growing Coronavirus outbreak, with more than 92,000 confirmed cases nationwide. The U.S. is now recording more new cases each day than anywhere else globally, but Italy's fatality rate remains higher still. It is feared the peak of the outbreak is weeks away due to the rate of spread in America. New York has become the new epicenter of the global pandemic, with 519 deaths on Friday. The death rate, faster and spreading wider.

Chain me trap me suffocate me stop my breathing overtake me parasitic antibody, toxic symphony, suit, me, mask me, ventilate my need to be seen he's convulsing, keep me inside bury me alive 4 walls smother social distancing barricading isolation. You can't touch me. Heartbeats behind glass, break in case of emergency, if only lonely if only alone we could end the insanity please won't you trust me, but I can't be the one to save you once it takes ahold there's nothing I can do death is the end of the road for you, so sing to me, baby if it's the last thing you'll do.

Help me, save me, baby from this drowning.

Quarantine me, baby to your body.

Help me, save me, baby from this drowning

Quarantine me, Quarantine me. 

"We have to come together as citizens, as a nation, as a human race, but how can we come together if we’re told to stay apart? The only thing to do now is hope for the best. God help us...”
