OVERCAST LYRICS
"Stirring the Killer" (1995 EP)
1. Grifter
2. Forecast
1. Grifter
The gates open I drown
The magnet, the withdrawal
Offering these to you
Shamelessly ripping my guts out
How could I expect you to change your face?
A time lived by seconds
I unfold at your beckon
I will be passed by I am the minimal
The useless being
How could I expect you to change your face?
My memories out dated and weak
How could I expect it to? Well I do
How could I want it to?
I despise your charming attributes
Conjure up the summoned
Then left to contend with them
Stirring the killer, inviting this old ghost
After all, it's me that is drowning
My dream is the warped
They pick me clean
These vultures
I know now the door is open
I know now I must be dead
2. Forecast
I view deep in this reflection
It's just the outside world looking in
Even if I could escape is
Is suffocation
Cascading bursts of light
Illuminating from the silence
But I still wonder if pulling free is
Is necessary
What else could I do?
I feed off of your cruelty
Once again I torch this day
It probably never existed
I used to think I had a grasp
That door closed years ago
I predicted the armageddon
I predicted the absolute
My lack of insanity held me back
I could have saved you all
But why?
The sheep retain their wish
Swallowed
Swallowed in Hell-fire
Why?
The sheep retain their wish
Swallowed
I don't listen to tomorrow
I don't look beyond the overcast
I won't see the forecast anymore
I won't look beyond the overcast
