Water Builds Up

[Verse 1]

So many times I've had that hopeless feeling

And no kind of booze or medicine helped at all

I'm drowning in too many contradictions

I'm about to lose all my self control

[Chorus]

Water builds up

Water boils over

Gettin' too hot

The pot's starting to whistle

It's running over the edge

It's steaming up my aching head

Better run, better hide

There's a dam bursting in my soul

[Verse 2]

Too many nos when I really needed yes for an answer

Too many times on my sad and lonely way

Feels are comin' in, pressure's building up too quickly

Working hard all day, never any time to play

[Chorus]

Water builds up

Water boils over

Gettin' too hot

The pot's starting to whistle

It's running over the edge

It's steaming up my aching head

Better run, better hide

There's a dam bursting in my soul

[Bridge]

Buildin' up inside of me

Deep down inside workin' free

Buildin' up deep inside

Buildin' up, up inside

[Chorus]

Water builds up

Water boils over

Gettin' too hot

The pot's starting to whistle

It's running over the edge

It's steaming up my aching head

Better run, better hide

There's a dam bursting in my soul

[Outro]

Water builds up

Water boils over

Gettin' too hot

The pot's starting to whistle

It's running over the edge

It's steaming up my aching head

Better run, better hide

There's a dam bursting in my soul
