Overcome

Story Behind The Song

Shortly after our guitarist return from rehabilitation this song was written. It describes our ability to build back what is broken, and inspire those around us. We do it together or we don't do it at all.

Song Description

You can overcome anything. if you can't see the urgency in my breath/ then breathe in unison with me for a moment/ just a moment/ and you will see the tension leaving/ we'll get through this/ we will overcome/ we do it together or we don't do it at all/ settle into my skin/ deep into my lungs you travel like a song/ just like a falling star you'll burn up in my arms/ we don't care where you're from we'll carry you along/ faded beneath my scars turn away sound the alarms/ if you can't taste emergency then I need/ need you to believe in me for a moment/ just a moment/ and you will see you're broken just like me/ we'll get through this/ we will overcome/ we do it together or we don't do it at all/ settle into my skin/ i can feel a change in me and I want to give it to you/ out of me into you we'll find a way to feel sane/ breathing in sync saying the same words in a beautiful mourning/ we can rise up/ well we can overcome/ breathe in slowly sink into my skin/ i need you to trust me till I'm alive again/ touch me gently push inside these scars/ i know you can't fix me, turn away sound the alarms...
