about

Overburdening is about the mudane. It is about the constant fear of never doing anything, or never flying away from home, never discovering the world. Overburdening is about doing what you love, before it's too late.

lyrics

I can't help but drive from line to line
I crossed them all like I crossed all of my fingers

I tried to grow up
I thought I did well
None of this makes me
Happy as hell
But I know it's not over
I'll turn it around
Do the things that make you happy
Before you drown

Feel the strain from the overburdening
You can't get away if you choose to stay
Feel the strain from the overburdening
You can't get away if you choose to stay

Waking up with a shred of joy on my face
It is all I ever wanted to feel

I can't give up
I need to improve
Throw it in the breeze
From the open louver
Take a deep breath
And breathe it all away
You can be at peace
And drift away

Feel the strain from the overburdening
You can't get away if you choose to stay
Feel the strain from the overburdening
You can't get away if you choose to stay

Oh it's a better day today
And I am free as a lark as a lark
Oh it's a better day today
And I am free as a lark as a lark
As a lark
As a lark
