Nothing short of confusion —
entertain myself —
yeah we’re stuck in quarantina!
Never had much guidance
I protect myself
and my own now.
Nothing [Nothing to do!]
Short of [Short of patience!]
Confusion [When will this end?]
I [I‘m goin crazy!]
Protect [Back the fuck up!]
My [Tribal mind!]
Own [You left us to it, now we’re doin all we know!]
Now
[Nothing to do I just can't can't control my boredom
Keep me from running outside]
Oh and it makes me sad
That I still want you [I still want you]
Oh and it makes me sad
That I still want you [I still want you]
The year is 2020
there has been a pandemic outbreak
its a killer corona
There are bodies piling up at the churches
i’ve social distanced from
Our amici try to warn us but we’re holdin' on
to our rights and guns
Danny Danny come and play with us online
Oh and it makes me sad
I still want you [I still want you]
Oh god it makes me sad
I still want you [I still want you]
I still want you
I still fucking want you!

Guess I'm just bored
I’ve boarded
My walls
Guess I'm just bored
I’ve boarded
My walls
Guess I'm just bored
I’ve boarded
My walls
— Wish i could touch you
Guess I'm just bored
I’ve boarded
my walls
— Wish i could touch you
Hunt me down down baby
before this gets crazy
doors closing tight on me
It’s a new wave ain’t it
And Hollywood is tainted
Comin' up like zombies
Guess I'm just bored
I’ve boarded
My walls
Meet you on the screen
Keep it sexy quarantine
It’s the new scene
Try to keep it clean
Til we wake up from this dream
Peaches and cream
En lata
Mi safety
All you do is take me
Seal me tight can't break me
Out my hive
Tell me I am trippin'
And maybe I am wasted
But baby you know I'm stayin' alive
Yo quiero tu amor
Dame tu amor
Yo quiero tu amor
Quítame el dolor
Guess I'm just bored
I’ve boarded
My walls
Guess I'm just bored
I’ve boarded
My walls
[I guess I'm just bored — I've boarded my walls]
Guess I'm just bored
I’ve boarded
My walls
— Wish i could touch you
Guess I'm just bored
I’ve boarded
My walls
— Wish i could touch you

Outside

My thoughts are a rollercoaster baby
Thinkin' about things to do inside
I feel it in my
Ribs and cages lately
Keeping a safe distance and side eye
And for the briefest moments
I go outside
I stare at the bay
And eat the openness with my eyes
I guess i’m just bored I’ve boarded my walls
Nothing can touch me
I live inside now
But for the briefest moments
I go outside
I stare at the bay
And eat the openness with my eyes

Jay Thomas Miami, Florida
Jay Thomas writes sensual music with beats and string arrangements that evoke fantasy and escapism, while addressing grief,
trauma, and human rights. His androgynous voice travels from gentle and soothing to coarse and raw in primal chants.
“Moody. Nostalgic. Dreamy. Fantasy-like.
In other words: hard to put in a box.”
