Desperate Measures: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

This is how the story goes
Drop by drop, the water rose
‘Til all at once, it overflows
It’s easier to cry
When you’re already down
And it’s easier to laugh
When someone’s made you a clown
And you overflow

It’s a game of foolish pride
Hide the scars that scar your hide
Bottle teardrops up inside
It’s easier to jump
When you’ve already drowned
And it’s easier to fall
When someone’s pushed you around
And you overflow

Half the time we say too little
Half the time we do too much
If we could only find the middle
We might muddle through this muck
And never overflow

Now you’re standing on the ledge
Barely balanced at the edge
Voices calling, “Let it go”
You can tip the driver
And he’ll take it slow
But it’s like trying to stem the tide
Or will the wind not to blow
And you overflow
