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

It 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
