Story Behind The Song
Overboard is a song that runs dual meanings of brutal break-up vs. downfall of civilization. The strings that hang us hold us up, but also suffocate.

Lyrics
We're on a crucial mission
To save the strings that hang us
Under the best intentions
Under the brightest of lights
Going over...
Going overboard
Ignore the subtle subtext
Its just a machination
Of all the deeds they dared you
To settle it under table
Going over...
Going overboard
Some will say, some will claim, its wrong
Some will rake, mud your way, that's alright
They're watching you
They are... watching you
They are... wanting you
What more can be construed of it?
Now that we're underwater
We're back to the beginning
Suck out the poison romance
Inject a whole new meaning
You can't
You won't
Cigarette will
Burn in your face
Burn in your mouth
