Lyrics for The Overload

A terrible signal Too weak to even recognize A gentle collapsing The removal of the insides I'm touched by your pleas I value these moments We're older than we realize ...in someone's eyes A frequent returning And leaving unnoticed A condition of mercy A change in the weather A view to remember The center is missing They question how the future lies ...in someone's eyes The gentle collapsing Of every surface We travel on the quiet road ...the overload
