about

Surrender Human will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of "Shelter in Place" on Bandcamp to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina: foodbankcenc.org

Tony recorded the drums on his phone(!), then Matt wrote a song on top of the existing drum part and added guitars and vocals. Robert added bass and a guitar break and mixed the song at his house.

lyrics

On the day when the world got very small
The ones who counted counted on the ones who didn’t count at all
Sheltering in places where we’d never see their faces
Thinking if we got the sickness
They could easily replace us

And oh my life
Delivering the packages so you won’t die
But what if I die
What if I die

My life
Picking out your groceries so you won’t die

Now they need adrenochrome
Leave it by the entrance of their stately second home
The missus needs cut flowers
Get them there within the hour
Then you’ll go home and burn your clothes
And kiss the kids goodnight

My life
Delivering you packages so you won’t die
But what if I die

Look out look out
Watch out watch out
You don’t know it’s over now
But they’re ringing the doorbell
And they’re coming for you
