Overpour

Sometimes it's just getting to be too much
They expect us to be invincible
Piling everything on from up above
To them our suffering is invisible
Cause they've been through so much worse

Oh I might overflow, overflow
It's an overpour
I wish I had known this all before
I can't overflow, overflow,
I can't let the tears overpour
Once they see you cry they don't see anything more
I can hold more,
I can hold more
I will not overflow.
I can't let them know they overpoured

And if the internet is poisoning my mind,
Why am I only understood online?
And if I'm supposed to be living
the goddamn American dream,
Why does every fucking thing
On the news make me want to scream?

I will not overflow. I will not overflow.
How could I overpour?
I'll take it blow by blow because
Growing up turned out to be one disappointment more
It's an overflow, overflow
It's an overpour
I don't think anyone knows
If we could be restored

Every sad song is about love,
I'm falling, but I don't remember being shoved.
Every happy story has to end,
So there's nothing left for me to defend.
Every night I'm sobbing on the floor,
I can't do this anymore.
Every generation is scarred in some new, horrid way
How long must I stay
On this mortal plane?
This is the overflow, this is the overpour
Is this what you've been waiting for?

We'll never get a choice in the matter
Watching as the poets get sadder
And the future gets dimmer
Until it's as dark as the sky above our heads
In this game you play
No one's a winner.
It was all a lie,
In this world, our souls must die.
But you'll get your karma from the dead.

Some day the streets will overflow
Overflow.
the result of your overpour
Yes, the streets will overflow, overflow
The final overpour.
That will be the day you'll get exactly what you're asking for.

What do y'all think about this one? I sort of brain vomited here.
