Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Even now the world is bleeding
But feeling just fine
All numb in our castle
Where we're always free to choose
Never free enough to find
I wish something would break
'Cause we're running out of time
[Verse 2]
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome
[Verse 3]
These women in the street
Pulling out their hair
My master's in the yard
Giving light to the unaware
This plastic little place
Is just a step amongst the stairs
[Verse 4]
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome
[Verse 5]
So drive me out, out to that open field
Turn the ignition off and spin around
Your help is here
But I'm parked in this open space
Blocking the gates of love
[Verse 6]
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome, yeah yeah
[Verse 7]
I am overcome, oh Lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, holy water, holy water
I am overcome
[Verse 8]
Beautiful drowning
This beautiful drowning
This holy water
This holy water is in my lungs
And I am overcome
I am overcome, yeah yeah
I, I, I am overcome
I am overcome
