QUARANTINE LIFE: SHUT DOWN

I shut it all down

Your charades masquerading 

As service to me

Were all about you

Every week, substance free

And a spectacle, too
I shut it all down
 Now there’s silence

So quiet, you should hear my voice

But you’re used to your show

Still maintaining the noise

That was never my choice

I shut it all down

So you'll notice the things

You've neglected so long

How far can you go

'Til you notice your habits 

Were horribly wrong?

I shut it all down

Still you think sacrifice means

You shouldn't obey

Your mind isn't sound

Look around! Can't you see

Leaders dying today?

I shut it all down

Your churchy behavior

Makes you look like fools

You're right in your own eyes

You’ve trimmed every precept

And bent every rule

I shut it all down

You still want to defend

How you've handled what's mine

You've scattered my sheep

Turned yourselves into kings

And robbed my people blind

I shut it all down

Go inside; stay there

And wait for my word

It's best that you pray

That my judgment subsides

And my patience returns

I shut it all down

I watched and I waited 

And now it's my turn

I warned you I'd move

But you silenced the truth

Now you're all going to learn
