The Overwhelming

from Walls Fall Down by Nick Powell

/

lyrics

Faces forming in windows
watch the night fall
Sirens and birdsong but mostly there’s no sound at all
Planets are spinning in silence away up above
Formed out of traces we make ourselves up out of dust
And we’re so overwhelmed, by the overwhelming

Caught on the camera your face when the program just froze
The places you go
The places you go
Sitting in a tin cans, this town’s like a ghost town and so
We watch what we show
We watch what we show

Yeah we were waiting for something like this to come round
Yeah we were praying for something to slow it all down
Galaxies forming in silence a way up above
Made out of traces and fragments of dust from the stars

We’re so overwhelmed by the overwhelming

Caught on the camera your face when the program just froze
the places that you go
are somewhere I know

Sitting in ghost towns we haunt our own lives but, you know?
We watch what we show
We watch what we show

And we’re so overwhelmed, when the world keeps turning
And so consumed, how the fire is burning
And so charged up, when everything is changing
When we’re back on the streets, yeah, we’re gonna be amazing….

Sitting in ghost towns we haunt our own lives but, you know?
We watch what we show
We watch what we show

And we’re so overwhelmed, when the world keeps turning
And so consumed, how the fire is burning
And so charged up, when everything is changing
When we’re back on the streets, yeah, we’re gonna be amazing….
