Overload

(album: Lauren Wood - 1979)

I been existing on an overload
It takes all my will for me to not explode
Lost in a tunnel, in the deep of the night
Could be years 'fore I see the light
Could take years till I see the light

This lousy treatment just ain't been deserved
And your faithless love has left me all unnerved
And now I know just how some folks get mean
When you're living a real bad dream
I been living a real bad dream

And I have seen the dark side of hell
Seen the avalanche destroy the wishing well
Where there was calm, there now is a storm
And I can't find a place that's warm
And I wish I was never born

The world outside, boy, it ain't too kind
And sometimes its better just to lose your mind
Trapped in this cellar, with the wine closing in
I can tell I will never win
Oh, why can't I ever win?

I been existing on an overload
It takes all my will for me to not explode
Lost in a tunnel, in the deep of the night
Could be years 'fore I see the light
Could take years till I see the light
Oh, when will I see the light?
