Overboard Lyrics by Downplay

Beyond the Machine

2011

[Verse 1]
I swallowed thoughts of hopelessness
In the end they won't digest
I wear trophies 'round my neck
Of all my failed conquests
I set my sails into the wind
Time to find the rocks again
And with these water's rushing in
I descend

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you even look for me
When I lost my way at sea? (No!)

[Chorus]
Let me in (Let me in, let me in)
Don't let me fall into the end (Let me in, let me in)
I am overboard again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I'm falling under, can't escape
Chained to me like ten-ton weights
I'll fight to hold, you break my grip
Like a rat on a sinking ship
Cast a line before the waves
Rise and carry me away
And with these waters rushing in
I descend

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you even look for me
When I lost my way at sea? (No!)

[Chorus]
Let me in (Let me in, let me in)
Don't let me fall into the end (Let me in, let me in)
I'm down here drowning, let me in (Let me in, let me in)
Don't let me fall into the end (Let me in, let me in)
I am overboard again

[Bridge]
And you only pick me up to drag me down
You suffocate the air when you're around
Screaming "SOS" into the air
But you only stare, you just stare

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you even look for me
When I lost my way at sea? (No!)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Let me in (Let me in, let me in)
Don't let me fall into the end (Let me in, let me in)
I'm down here drowning, let me in (let me in, Let me in)
Don't let me fall into the end (Let me in, let me in)
I am overboard again

[Outro]
(Overboard! Overboard!)
I am overboard again
(Overboard! Overboard!)
I am overboard again
