Overground Lyrics

[00:27.12] Got to give up life in this netherworld
[00:34.16] Got to go up to where the air is stale
[00:38.27] And live a life of pleasantries
[00:42.25] Mingle in the modern families
[00:51.36] Overground--from abnormality
[00:59.40] Overboard--for identity
[01:03.57] Overground--for normality
[01:07.53] Overboard--for identity
[01:33.80] This limbo is no place
[01:37.97] To be a digit in another space
[01:41.95] In another crowd
[01:45.02] I'm nameless bound
[01:54.20] Overground--from abnormality
[01:58.35] Overboard--for identity
[02:02.31] Overground--for normality
[02:06.47] Overboard--for identity
[02:30.91] Overground--I'll be worse than me
[02:36.17] Overground--it's clear to me
[02:41.28] I'll be worse than me
[03:11.39]
