Powerlessness
This just dawned on me: I haven’t spoken to another person in a week I’ve been sitting silently Telling myself I need time to think I met you at the coffeeshop We marched on the interstate and blocked the cops The echoes of the flash grenades Rang in our ears as we moved along I called it “positivity,” And congratulated myself on a job well done But after a couple of days The fire that I thought would burn it down was gone Meet me at the Polish bar I’ll be the one looking at my phone Shaking like a nervous kid Absolutely terrified of being alone So where can you go when the troubles inside you Make your limbs feel like they’re covered in lead? How can you solve all the problems around you When you can’t even solve the ones in your head? I need you right now I need you right now Before I feel totally dead SongtexteIt came on suddenly I haven’t spoken to another person in a month Well, small talk, OBVIOUSLY But nothing beyond barely catching up I have lots of things to say But they’re gonna sound dumb dumb dumb I have lots of things to say But I’m just an idiot So where can you go when the troubles inside you Make your limbs feel like they’re covered in lead? How can you solve all the problems around you When you can’t even solve the ones in your head? I need you right now I need you right now Before I feel totally dead Shriek into the toxic well Where everybody’s screaming for themselves And leaves no space to process feeling lost These overwhelming distractions Lead to powerlessness And I feel too weak to walk it off Meet me at the Polish bar I’ll be the one looking at my phone Shaking like a nervous kid Totally terrified of being alone So where can you go when the troubles inside you Make your limbs feel like they’re covered in lead? How can you solve all the problems around you When you can’t even solve the ones in your head? I need you right now I need you right now Before I feel totally dead [ghost noises] Aus Songtexte Mania
