Overcast

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

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 okay, and that's a bitter pill to swallow

It's overcast, guess I'm back here again

'Cause 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

'Cause nobody hears, and nobody's here to help you deal with the fallout

These things have gotta change

No more suffering in silence

Call me a skeptic 'cause 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

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

Oh, take me back to the days when

I felt I could live and learn

Just what it means to be happy

I've been coming apart at the seams (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 okay, and that's a bitter pill to swallow

It's overcast, watch me fade to grey

'Cause the black clouds overhead 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
