The Overload

A Terrible Signal
Too Weak To Even Recognize
A Gentle Collapsing
The Removal Of The Insides

I'm Touched By Your Pleas
I Value These Moments
We're Older Than We Realize
...In Someone's Eyes

A Frequent Returning
And Leaving Unnoticed
A Condition Of Mercy
A Change In The Weather

A View To Remember
The Center Is Missing
They Question How The Future Lies
...In Someone's Eyes

The Gentle Collapsing
Of Every Surface
We Travel On The Quiet Road
...The Overload

  1. Listened to that today... "The center is missing/they question how the future lies/In someone's eyes" startled me.

    o.w.

  2. It says in the Remain in Light sleevenotes that D.B. wrote it upon hearing about Joy Division, before he actually heard the music... When he did hear the music he was dissapointed.
