Scott Ryan Ingersoll - Bottle Episode

Watching through my window as winter melts into spring
And suddenly a year has passed, I'm watching the same thing
Read about half-way through, every book I own
Infinitely scrolling the same three apps on my phone
I thought we were learning lessons for when this all passed
But everything's obscured through a layer of glass
Everything's obscured through a layer of glass
All my circles shrinking, people and routines
Laps around the block with the kids, the small daily things
The illusion of moving forward, just the passing of time
While what I hoped to be, remains suspended in my mind
All that I hoped to be, remains suspended in my mind
No rabbit in this hat
No genie in this bottle
Stuck behind the glass, can't do anything but wonder
Am I desperate to escape, or do I never want to leave, never want to leave again?
At first to wait, it felt like a break
And then as if we'd never start again
Certainly we've reached an end
But without new beginnings, the wait feels like death
My conjured passing likeness, of what life should be
Now it's breaking down and crumbling around me
Recycle these sets and characters to set a new scene
Don't let me stare the divine in the eye, and ask where God has been
