lyrics

Curled on the couch at noon, again
From staring awake at 3am, as always
Well maybe this cup of coffee
Will have the magic
All the others didn't
Trying my best to move somehow
Slogging so slow,
I might as well be going backwards
How can so much striving
Leave me standing stuck in the same place?

I'm so
immobile
I'm frozen, marrow and soul, yes I'm so
immobile, I can't even whisper,
please.

Panicked, and worn, and poor, too long
Running all day, and yet it feels like going nowhere
But maybe this job tomorrow
Will be the step up
All the others weren't.
Used to be full of energy
Now every day it is a struggle
just to wake up
What part got so broken
That the whole damn machine ground to a halt?

Please, unfreeze me
God, where have you gone
Please, some idea seize me
There's gotta be something I haven't tried
'Cause as-is I’m so immobile...

Crawled out of bed too late, today
I'll crawl in at night, and in between, bet nothing happens
Well maybe this time tomorrow
I'll find the answers that I haven't so far
If I make it that far
One more cup of coffee
Please.
