Enough

Stuck
Stuck
Very stuck
Some things feel very stuck

I walked through the woods
I surveyed all the trees
I noticed the splinters and cracks
The rips in the seams
The rushing streams

The water is stuck
The river is raging
I'm screaming in my head
But I can't say what I think
It's this block of lead in my throat
I can't feel my toes anymore

Because the water is coming in
Faster than I can get it out
Am I supposed to say all these things
And know what the right thing is?

It's sinking the boat and I'm stuck here
I am hardly afloat
I don't want to know what the right thing to say is
All I know is this is a fight and there's so much

We were sad, we were happy
We were joyful and reduced to tears
I wish these years hadn't changed so much

The ocean is raging
The black depths are rising to the surface
Nothing here served a purpose
Why can't I know what the right thing to say is
Why can't I know how to say all the words
All these broken shards of memories and sentences
These stranded pieces washed away

The things I've taken away
The things I've forgotten
Stuck, stuck and stuck
We're all stuck here now
We're going nowhere near anywhere
And we're going overboard
I thought you never heard

I just wasn't loud enough
I just wasn't brave enough
I just couldn't ever say
What I needed you to take away
And now we're stuck, stuck here
Now we are stuck here
And it was never, never enough
It was never enough.
