Overwhelming Sound

I can still remember

When I held you in my hands

We had to pause the VCR

So I could understand

I've poured everything into this life

I have to hold it up

I don't want my bullshit

To be spilling from this cup

I can see you crying out

With your light that spins around

There's an overwhelming sound

In the background

All the time

I fire at distractions

Because they always come my way

The farmer fixed my blinders

Now he keeps them on all day

I've poured everything into this life

I cannot lose my touch

I scream inside the nightmare

That I love you all so much

I can see you crying out

With your light that spins around

There's an overwhelming sound

In the background

All the time

I can see you crying out

With your light that spins around

There's an overwhelming sound

In the background

All the time

A mother's love is everything

And in it you should stay

So it's just me and Jesus

Getting drunk on Christmas Day

I've poured everything into this life

And now I'm giving up

You can do what you want

I don't give a
