Lyrics
I was playing Animal Crossing when the world fell apart
On the tail of a terrible illness
But the virus wasn't here yet
Or so they said
I tried to be brave when they called it on my birthday
Then I lost my job and the rigor mortis set in
The controls under my fingertips were all I could control
The world shrank in an instant, held us ransom in these walls
And I had a sense of safety in between my hands
Escaping to a world I understand
Eleven months gone
And the world's all shards and splinters
I'm trying to move on
Writing songs that remind me of who we were before
Then Daphne had a birthday
Turning 10
And for her party
Invited us to her island on a game I used to play, when
The controls under my fingertips were all I could control
The world shrank in an instant, held us ransom in these walls
And I had a sense of safety in between my hands
Escaping to a world I understand
Oh god, I can't believe it's been a year
Worse, I can't believe that we're still here
Stuck in airlock
Biding time
Now I can't play the game
Without returning to the same damn day
When the controls under my fingertips were all I could control
The world shrank in an instant, held us ransom in these walls
And I had a sense of safety in between my hands
Escaping to a world I understand
Escaping to a world I understand
Escaping to a world I understand
I was playing Animal Crossing when the world fell apart
