Function

Uh-oh, the pressure's taking over
My heart is heavy, palms are sweaty
And I'm hesitating in the corner
My lips don't move, procrastinating
If I could figure out where the doubt comes from
Maybe I could face it, ooh-ooh
Tripping on my toes, can't help it
Limbs all numb from my mind, to help it
Don't know why I fell on the planet
It's dying and I'm dying with it
I left all my worries at bay
They came back to fuck with my brain
What is my purpose today?
I can't seem to function okay
No-oh, how could I choose it?
I'm indecisive
Only write if I let faith take the fruit and juice it, oh-oh
I feel so weak when giving chances
It's always one way then another
And I'm sick of contradictions, oh-oh
Tripping on my toes, can't help it
Limbs all numb from my mind, to help it
Don't know why I fell on the planet
It's dying and I'm dying with it
I left all my worries at bay
They came back to fuck with my brain
What is my purpose today?
I can't seem to function okay
I left all my worries at bay
They came back to fuck with my brain
What is my purpose today?
I can't seem to function okay
