[Verse 1]
By the look on my face, I'm a soldier
By the battles I've faced, I'm a fighter
But the truth is, I'm about to break
By the look in my eyes, I'm wiser
By the tears that I've cried, I'm lighter
But the truth is, I've had as much as I can take[Chorus]
I've been dragging the bag since 1980
It's weighing me down, can't someone help me let it go
I'm in overload
I've been relighting the match since 1980
Hoping the time and space would help me let it go
I'm in overload[Verse 2]
By the mountains I've climbed, I should be higher
By the stars that I've chased, I should be brighter
But the truth is, I've got nothing left
Is it madness, to give and not get
Am I hopeless, in over my head
All I know is it's catching up with me[Chorus]
I've been dragging the bag since 1980
It's weighing me down, can't someone help me let it go
I'm in overload
I've been relighting the match since 1980
Hoping the time and space would help me let it go
I'm in overload[Refrain X2]
I got caught up in the mess
I was torn up, lost my breathe
It's an overload, it ain't over though[Chorus]
I've been dragging the bag since 1980
It's weighing me down, can't someone help me let it go
I'm in overload
I've been relighting the match since 1980
Hoping the time and space would help me let it go
I'm in overload
