Through the Overflow

Through the Overflow

Overflow of a lifetime 

Or maybe just this week 

Depends on who is shoveling

Depends if I get weak

No one sees a stop sign

Or a flagman out to check

But it all keeps on flowing

How much more till this ship wrecks

I'm looking for the stars now

It's getting hard to see

I could just follow the wind blow

But the breeze seems so obscene

Is this a testing of my metal?

For I hear the hammers cry

But perhaps it's just my laughing

Cause my tears have done run dry

I thought I'd call the postman

But his route don't run today

Because his messages they keep stacking

Have I written my life away?

So drifting through the fog now

Not content with who I am

The flowing keeps on rolling

And I try to be a man

I'll hold what I can hold up

I'll help out who I can

But one day I'll fall to sinking

Will I drown or will I swim?
