There's Nothing I Can Do

from Strung Out by Renee Goust

lyrics

There's nothing I can do to stop this morning rain.
So i sit in bed and look out through my broken window pane.
The bitter colors blend in with the angry lightning.
The litter follows in a muddy downhill broken chain.

I finally embrace my fate of walking all alone,
Now that my birds have flown and all their seeds are dry past grown.
The ceremonial bells unhinge the locks up on my door.
There's nothing i can do to stop what's now begun to pour.

Though I am feeling paralyzed.
And I, I need to sterilize.

There's nothing I can do to stop my nervous stutter.
My feet inside a puddle and my mind inside the gutter.
There's so much more to wish for than could ever be attained.
There's so much more to learn of than can ever be retained.

And I, I feel anesthetized.
And I, I need to sterilize.
And I am feeling paralyzed.
And I, I need to sterilize.

The fog (fog)
The stain (stain)
The delayed train
The cold (cold)
Controlled (oh)
And oversold
The game (game)
Of fame (fame)
That ends in shame
The track (track)
Of black (black)
Where you fall back.
