Powerless Lyrics by ​thayerperiod

Would You Trade Your Hands For Wings?

2022

Self-destructive behavior
Who am I trynna punish?
I can't focus
I can't see
My body fights me
It puts me down
I can't breathe, I can't breathe

I tell these stories
They're kinda sad
But atleast I'm honest
Keep up the paces or youll be left behind
Forgotten
Somethings wrong
But I can't put my finger on it
Somethings off
You can feel it in the air
It's like static on your skin
Moisture tension building
It's bad day
But everyday's a bad day
Where does that leave us?
Where does that leave me now?

Six pills a day that's my medicine
I eat
Watch my bone and skin and muscles
Move around again
I eat grass like my dogs
Only trust 'em cuz their love is pure

You drive down the center of the road
With your toy car
Keep your eyes peeled
I can’t do that
I can’t do that
It’s still fuck the police
It’s 1312
Till I’m down in the ground

Tired eyes I can’t trust my body now
Tired eyes, it comes again
I’m powerless, it betrays you
You just sit there
You’re powerless
Think violent things
Speak awful words
This vessel locks itself down

I just wrote a song
It was bad now it’s gone
I just said a mean thing
Now it’s over and done

Right? It’s funny
Kinda funny if you ask me
Humour, pain and sadness, all sides of the same coin

Self-destructive behavior
Who am I trynna punish?
I can't focus
I can't see
My body fights me
It puts me down
I can't breathe, I can't breathe

I can’t trust my hands
I’m at a red light
Let my foot go up off the break
See what happens
The strangers pass
Their faces neutral
Do they even see me?
Could they even care?
(Could they even care?
Could they even care?)

I tell these stories
They're kinda sad, but atleast I'm honest
Keep up the paces or you'll be left behind
Forgotten
Somethings wrong but I can't put my finger
On it
Somethings off
You can feel it in the air
It's like static on your skin
Moisture tension building
It's bad day, but everyday's a bad day
Where does that leave us
Where does that leave me now

I ignore the calls
The texts, they build up
They squeeze and they choke me
They call for help
But I can’t bring myself to answer them
It’s kinda funny sad

That’s just two sides of the same coin
Man this shits too honest
