Lyrics to Overflow
I've been lost, alone in a crowd
Can't remember when the silence got so loud
We believe, but what do we know?
All the things we bottle up
Will one day start to overflow
Where do I shelter when it's raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this way
It kills to hear you say
"I can't stand to see you like this"
We took a chance, a shot in the dark
Let it echo like the rattle of a hollow heart
I thought I had everything that meant something to me
I wasn't ready to face what I want, what I need
Now I need to escape
The grass is greener, they told me, if you wait
I feel the lifeblood freezing in my veins
The antidote is just the poison by another name
Where do I shelter when it's raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this way
It kills to hear you say
"I can't stand to see you like this
'Cause it's more than I can take"
The earth is spinning much too fast for me
The air is thick and it makes me sick to breathe
I never had the clarity of mind
To recognize that time was never on my side
(I am not what I think, I am not what I feel)
I'm addicted, afflicted and I'm dying to heal, I said
I lost years to future fears
(This can't happen again, it cannot happen again)
Now I'm fearing the worst
I'll break my habits if they don't break me first
But still I just can't seem to catch my breath
And the things I love, I hold so tight, I strangle them to death
Where do I shelter when it's raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this way
It kills to hear you say
"I can't stand to see you like this
'Cause it's more than I can take"
Can't remember when the silence got so loud
We believe, but what do we know?
All the things we bottle up
Will one day start to overflow
Where do I shelter when it's raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this way
It kills to hear you say
"I can't stand to see you like this"
We took a chance, a shot in the dark
Let it echo like the rattle of a hollow heart
I thought I had everything that meant something to me
I wasn't ready to face what I want, what I need
Now I need to escape
The grass is greener, they told me, if you wait
I feel the lifeblood freezing in my veins
The antidote is just the poison by another name
Where do I shelter when it's raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this way
It kills to hear you say
"I can't stand to see you like this
'Cause it's more than I can take"
The earth is spinning much too fast for me
The air is thick and it makes me sick to breathe
I never had the clarity of mind
To recognize that time was never on my side
(I am not what I think, I am not what I feel)
I'm addicted, afflicted and I'm dying to heal, I said
I lost years to future fears
(This can't happen again, it cannot happen again)
Now I'm fearing the worst
I'll break my habits if they don't break me first
But still I just can't seem to catch my breath
And the things I love, I hold so tight, I strangle them to death
Where do I shelter when it's raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this way
It kills to hear you say
"I can't stand to see you like this
'Cause it's more than I can take"
