I wrote this song about the difficulties of online school and how being in lockdown makes it hard to be motivated and have a goal/purpose.

lyrics

~~~

I wake up at 8:29, wanna go back to that dream of mine
But I know can’t, I know I can’t
So I get up then sit right down, my desk makes me feel like a clown
But I log on
My screen turns on

My teachers tries I know they do, but I never know what to do
And I can’t ask, or stay on task
Group convos are quite hazardous, not feeling like a maverick
But that’s my grade, what I display

So I try
To get myself together
Don’t know why
it’s such a storm to weather
But I’ll get by
Cause one day my world won’t be on screen

They preach productivity
But that feels like a myth to me
Can’t stay on track, I’m falling back
And everyday feels like the same
I have no goal I have no aim
But I must try, I must get by

And I know that I’m not helpless
But sometimes I feel astray
Gotta get back to my purpose
Like an arrow I’ll fly straight
Just a few months of waiting
And then all will be okay
So till then, so till then

I’ll try
To get myself together
Don’t know why
it’s such a storm to weather
But I’ll get by
Cause one day my world won’t be on screen
