"Powerless" lyrics

"Powerless"

Flashing floods, stuck in the mud
I was off the grid and on the run
Still felt so close from far away

Sun went down, lights went out
You deal too far, so strung out
And there's no words for what I want to say

Lay me down here to sleep
To the sound of defeat
When it comes to us, I'm powerless
Powerless

Ooh-ooh (Oh, oh)
Ooh-ooh (Oh, oh)
Ooh-ooh (Oh, oh)
Ooh-ooh

Violent wind blew down the door
It did me in and I pray for more
All the damage done and I don't want to change
(No way)

Lay me down here to sleep
To the sound of defeat
When it comes to us, I'm powerless
Powerless

Ooh-ooh (Oh, oh)
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (Oh, oh)
Ooh-ooh

One friend said
"Nothing's really set in stone"
Another way of holding on
Find a way to let it go
Don't remember what you said
But I remember what you meant
I remember how it felt
How it felt to lose control

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

(Oh, oh) Powerless
(Oh, oh) Powerless
(Oh, oh) Powerless

(Ooh-ooh) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ooh-ooh) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ooh-ooh) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ooh-ooh)
