This powerlessness breaks me down Powerlessness, it breaks me down I cannot escape, please get me out Out, out of my hell right now Smash my head against the wall Just to feel something, feel something What year is it? It's a year of depression What year is it? Please help me quit this self-repression Or I'll break at the ends Then tear in the middle Powerlessness, break me down How can you call this free When you have to bend your knee To your self apologies? Let the chemicals burn you out And I'm bending on a broken knee But I can't feel it What year is it? It's a year of depression What year is it? Please help me quit this self-repression Or I'll break at the ends Then tear in the middle Then there's this sudden fall Into the welcoming arms of depression
