Lyrics

06 - Overreacted
VERSE 1
God damn, I’m overreacting
Acting up again
Can’t we redact it my friend?
Stop all the acting
I am wracked again
Coming down is torture on your head
It’s pain, it’s guilt, it’s fucking shame
Who would choose to live this way?
CHORUS 1
Might not be a perfect sight,
Medicates me on the darkest flights
But it’s over, yes it’s over
Maybe I’m too fucking saccharine
Maybe nobody got the appetite
But it’s over, yes it’s over
VERSE 2
Get bent, your light is refracting
Power dissipates
Scattered and fracturingn, my friend
Your pain is detracting
From the light within
Particles are poisoning this well
It’s pain, it’s guilt, it’s fucking hell
I can hear the tolling bell
CHORUS 2
Might not be a perfect sight,
Medicates me on the darkest flights
But it’s over, yes it’s over
Maybe I’m too fucking saccharine
Maybe nobody got the appetite
So it’s over, yes it’s over, and

POST CHORUS 1
Rousing on these introverted ways
And savouring the sour taste
Mine might be delinquency
But I’ll wear it on my face
BRIDGE
My aspirations in a heap on the floor
Piled up so high that I can’t open the door
Nothing’s really working but I cannot ignore
The need to strive is keeping me alive
CHORUS 3
Might not be a perfect sight
(But it was enough for us)
Medicates me on the darkest flights
But it’s over
(But it’ll never be over for me)
yes it’s over
(No it’ll never be over)
Maybe I’m too fucking saccharine
(But it was enough for us)
Maybe nobody got the appetite
But it’s over
(But it’ll never be over for me)
yes it’s over
(No it’ll never be over)
POST CHORUS 2
Rousing on these introverted ways
And savouring the sour taste
