lyrics

I've been clinging onto familiarity
since I left and we melted
I've been losing my sense of reality
since I lost a friend
and sickness took over your body

is it emotion closing up your throat
or is it the cancer?
and if it steals my granddad away
I hope the smoke won't do the same to my brother

and I left
and you're gone
and he's dying
and everything's gone wrong
and you said
that you'd bring me the stars
but lord knows they ain't shining
and I've lost all I've ever known

I see the faces everyday
and I'm smiling
and of all the things he has to say
I know that he's trying

but everything is building now
stones in my pockets
and I'll see you when it's over now
'cause this ain't living

and I left
and you're gone
and he's dying
and every little thing's gone wrong
and you said
that the worst is over
but I know that you're lying
and I've lost all I've ever loved

and it's overwhelming
it's overwhelming, you know
it's overwhelming
it's overwhelming sometimes, you know
it's overwhelming, it's overwhelming, you know
it's overwhelming
you know
