Overwhelm - Elsewhere

Longing for good memories, to replace the ones I have

They rattle in my mind

Aching, aching, they dictate what I am: broken

They consume what I think

Controlled, controlled, they make me wish to forget

Overwhelmed, always overwhelmed

The once fragile windows lying on the pavement

Now shattered in such despair

Sirens ring, their echoes bounce off the mountain tops

All the rain dances all around

Dripping off the crumbled-up car

This valley used to be so sound

If only I could forget the past without forgetting you

I carry this all with me everywhere I go

No matter what I do, the past keeps haunting me

Lingering and lingering

I watched you go

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted

This valley used to be so sound

If only I could forget the past without forgetting you
