even though the world is bleedin
the feeling just fine
alone in my castle
we were always free to choose
never free enough to find
I wish something would break
cuz we're runnin out of time

and I am overcome
I am overcome
only water in my lungs
I am overcome

these women in the street
pullin out their hair
my master's in the yard
givin light to the unaware
this blasted little place
is just a step amongst the stairs

and I am overcome
I am overcome
only water in my lungs
I am overcome 

so drive me out
out to the open field
turn the ignition off
and spin around
your help is here
but I'm parked in this open space
lockin the gates of love
and I am overcome
I am overcome
only water in my lungs
I am overcome
I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome
only water in my lungs
only water, only water
I am overcome

beautiful drownin
this beautiful drownin
this holy water
this holy water
is in my lungs
and I am overcome
I am overcome
I, I, I am overcome
I am overcome
