Senseless Lyrics

What we are is not enough

We just keep telling ourselves we're tough

That we can handle it alone

But the truth is we're crumbling

It's humbling to know

But we can't even handle that we're not our own

I know it sounds sweet

Spitting words, hitting deep

These moments creep

Sneaking up on every thought Train that leaves the station

Making blank tracks beneath my feet

Stepping up another rung

This ladder's weak

Leading up above but going nowhere

Only going further down

And now I find I'm only further up the creek

It's sink or swim and I'm not gonna die

Aint giving in before he calls and says it's time

Cause it was Him who thought up the design

I cannot claim it

I'm just trying to align and maybe name it

Call it what you will if will could call it out from underneath

And spill out every gut you ever felt

While every struggle we pit up against the clock

Is meant to turn us into what we're not

And it's senseless

What we are is not enough

We just keep telling ourselves we're tough

That we can handle it alone

But the truth is we're crumbling

It's humbling to know

But we can't even handle that we're not our own

Senseless

Senseless

Senseless

How tough can you be

If you're the one who's in control

It's not a quick reaction time

If you don't ever have to learn what it means to roll

Throwing punches

But you ain't in the ring

If only you had learned to fight

Instead you're shadowboxing in the pitch black

And there ain't even enough light to cast a shadow

You can't even see when they attack

But still you're pretty sure they're coming back

And if they find you

Hey, it's just a fact, it's going down

And maybe you can choke them out

Or just lay low pray and hope

And maybe find your groove

If only you had someone there to cover you

To have your back and fill the gaps in your defenses

But instead you're knocked senseless

What we are is not enough

We just keep telling ourselves we're tough

That we can handle it alone

But the truth is we're crumbling

It's humbling to know

But we can't even handle that we're not our own

Senseless

Senseless

Senseless

So now everyone's your enemy

Your friends are gone

Incredibly you don't know why it's hard to breathe

I do believe it's about time we realize

That we should wake up

Wake up, wake up, wake up

Open up our heavy hands

Our scattered thoughts and battered dreams

Are better left as shattered plans

Where you stand cannot define you when you're the only thought you have

And when the walls collapse

I wish you wouldn't only wish you had

So put to rest the things that test us

Cause it's not about our resolve

But it's all about the way that Jesus Christ

Can make it all dissolve

Come on

See He's the footprints in the sand

When you think you're all alone He's the hand

The one that's holding to your own again

When you're not meeting life's demands

Or you feel stranded and abandoned

Doubled down and insecure

Backed up against those falling walls

A mighty fortress He's for sure

So get off yourself and get yourself some light from Him who made you

Plug it in, plug it in like Glade

You gotta rid yourself of all your set-in stink from being set in all your ways

You're on the brink

And what you think is wise will paralyze

But you deny you even realize

You're t-t-t-tinkering with things that make it hazardous to even blink

And it's senseless

What we are is not enough

We just keep telling ourselves we're tough

That we can't handle it alone

But the truth is we're crumbling

It's humbling to know that we can't even handle that we're not our own

Senseless

Senseless

Senseless
