Overcast Lyrics

Black clouds, rally around
My head like it's the eye of the storm
Relentlessly cascading through
My better judgment and my thoughts

How I long to free my mind, find clearer skies ahead
Cos if every cloud has a silver lining then by now I should be dead

Hey, Hey, "You better give up the ghost before it's too late"
But it's much easier to wallow in modest misery
Hey, Hey, "where's your self worth?"
About 40,000 fathoms deep buried in dirt

I've been coming apart at the seams
Losing track of everything that matters to me
Never did I think I'd become so hollow
I'm not ok and that's a bitter pill to swallow
It's overcast, guess I'm back here again
Coz the black clouds overhead just never seem to end
but have peace of mind, in time I'll be fine with or without you...

When did it become okay to not speak your mind?
"Keep your eyes on the prize kid, bottle it up deep inside"
Cos nobody hears, and nobody's here,
To help you deal with the fallout,
These things have got to change...

No more, suffering in silence
Call me a sceptic coz I just don't feel like you.
Where's the compassion and the kindness?
Nobody's listening...I've reached my breaking point.

I've got this feeling like there's somebody watching me
Setting me up, just to push me back down
But they will all be sorry when we come back around

So I ask myself, where did it all go wrong
I converse with myself like I'm somebody else
It's been my problem all along

Oh take me back to the days when, I felt I could live and learn
Just what it means to be happy and what it's like to not hurt.

I've been coming apart at the seams
Losing track of everything that matters to me
Never did I think I'd become so hollow
I'm not ok and that's a bitter pill to swallow
Its overcast, watch me fade to grey
Coz the black clouds over head are here to rain on my parade
But have peace of mind, in time I'll be fine, with or without you...
So things have gotta change
Things have got to change
