Sometimes I feel so helpless Like nothing matters Like everything I've said or done Or written down in countless notebooks means next to nothing Trying to escape four brick walls Miles high with nothing Nothing but my words There is no door No window to open up, let fresh air in Nothing but stagnation And this overwhelming urge That somethings got to break or burn or give way And this is where I'm stuck I could write volumes about this And never once convey the way it feels Like looking through a wheelchair Into the eyes of a soldier That never wanted to leave home I can't begin to know the way he feels I can't fathom the frustration in his bones That can't support his own weight He gave it all Could you say the same could I (could you) But it doesn't for one second mean that I'm gonna lie here Surrounded By these set in stone misconceptions I'll start digging or clawing At the bricks and mortar Because I know One day the bricks will shift And the mortar will crumble Nothing in this world lasts forever
