What Do You Do
Rollins Band Lyrics

When no one will listen and time won't wait
When you are ignored and time passes by without any consideration

When you see yourself and see the one that you hate
When you are disappointed with yourself for not living up to your own expectations

When the night lasts forever and time stands still
When you feel trapped in a situation that seems to take an eternity to resolve

When you see yourself and want to kill
When you are so upset with yourself that you experience suicidal thoughts

When the world doesn't fit the head on your shoulders
When the reality of life doesn't align with your expectations or beliefs

When you punch the walls and feel the world's fist
When you express your anger through physical actions and feel like the world is hitting back

The big ideas you have leave you feeling so small
When your ambitious plans seem unattainable and you feel inadequate for aiming so high

I can see it in your eyes you can't deal with it all
When it's clear from your expression that you are overwhelmed and can't handle everything on your own

What do you do when you want to get over
When you want to move on from a difficult situation or emotion but don't know how

What do you do when you want to get through
When you want to push through a challenging experience with a positive outcome

What do you do when you just can't take it
When you are at your limit of what you can handle emotionally or mentally

What do you do when you just can't fake it anymore
When you can no longer pretend that everything is okay and need to be honest with yourself or others

Feel the pressure
To experience a weight or burden of stress or expectation

Feel it squeeze
To feel a constriction or tightening of the chest due to intense emotions

The eyes in your head
The thoughts or perceptions that are unique to your own perspective

The heart in your chest
The strong emotions or feelings that you experience in response to external factors

Where's the answer
To question where the solution or resolution to a problem can be found

Where's the release
To question where the emotional or mental relief can be found

When the lies that they told and the price that you paid
When you realize that you were misled and have suffered consequences for it

Force you to see the mistake that you made
To come to terms with the error in judgment that led to the negative outcome

When they shake your hand and stab your back
When someone appears friendly or supportive but secretly betrays you

When frustration paints your four walls black
When your anger or disappointment colors your surroundings in a negative light

When they pick you up and let you fall
When someone helps you briefly before putting you in a worse position

When you find their something is nothing at all
When something or someone that you thought was meaningful turns out to be meaningless

When ends miss ends and the endlessness sends you
When the outcomes you expected don't match up and the long-lasting effects take a toll on you

Down to the bottom of the drain in pain
To experience a deep sense of despair and hopelessness

When you're pushed to the edge and can't maintain
When you are pushed beyond your limits and can no longer handle it
