[Verse 1]
You're eating soup with a fork, wanna talk
But the speed of sound seems so much faster than before
I wanna scream, "It's not your fault!"
But to frequent doubt, screams are no plaster of that, I'm sure
You said you wanna stop blaming your parents
'Cause they, too, are just products of how they were raised
And you wanna stop blaming yourself
It doesn't help, this idea of blame
And you scream

[Chorus]
How am I overflowing when I feel so empty?
How am I overflowing when I feel so empty?
I gently took your hand
We began to dance
Whilst crying aplenty
How am I overflowing when I feel so empty?

[Verse 2]
You said you're having onе of those days
Where you wish you didn't havе a body
But my pupils reached out to what they see as starlit
You said once upon a time
You were some sort of two-ended candle
But somewhere along the line you became melted wax on the carpet
It's in the stillness we feel, we hear vibrations
Now, silent air
[Chorus]
How am I overflowing when I feel so empty?
Oh, how am I overflowing when I feel so empty?
I gently took your hand
We began to dance
Whilst crying aplenty
How am I overflowing when I feel so empty?

[Bridge]
And as we continue to live
We continue to die
But become formless waves, roll freely
Over the steady tide
Took the bus into town looking out at windows
As we drive past
Think of the endless infinities
Tucked behind each glass
(Have they all screamed?)
(Have they all screamed?)

[Chorus]
How am I overflowing when I feel so empty?
Oh, how am I overflowing when I feel so empty?
I gently took your hand
We began to dance
Whilst crying aplenty
How am I overflowing when I feel so empty?
