Overflow

I've been lost, alone in a crowd Can't remember when the silence got so loud We believe, but what do we know? All the things we bottle up will one day start to overflow Where do I shelter when it's raining inside? No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this way It kills to hear you say "I can't stand to see you like this" We took a chance, a shot in the dark Let it echo like the rattle of a hollow heart I thought I had everything that meant something to me I wasn't ready to face what I want, what I need Now I need to escape The grass is greener, they told me, if you wait I feel the lifeblood freezing in my veins The antidote is just the poison by another name Where do I shelter when it's raining inside? No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this way It kills to hear you say "I can't stand to see you like this 'Cause it's more than I can take" The earth is spinning much too fast for me The air is thick and it makes me sick to breathe I never had the clarity of mind To recognize that time was never on my side (I am not what I think, I am not what I feel) I'm addicted, afflicted and I'm dying to heal, I said I lost years to future fears (This can't happen again, it cannot happen again) Now I'm fearing the worst I'll break my habits if they don't break me first But still I just can't seem to catch my breath And the things I love, I hold so tight I strangle them to death Where do I shelter when it's raining inside? (raining inside) No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this way It kills to hear you say "I can't stand to see you like this 'Cause it's more than I can take"
