The Overkill is for people who cringe back on everything they’ve said at a party to see if they were obnoxious, messy, hurt someone’s feelings, or disclosed too much of themselves. It’s about the ways we can seek connection through vulnerability (on a night out, posting online, or in song lyrics), and grappling with the regrets of confessing too much and losing control. “This might be my favorite bridge we’ve ever written.” -Malachi
lyrics
I’m not proud of what I do to get to sleep
All the stuck-on stars on the ceiling are flicking out on me
Caught in between the way I am and how I wanna be
Oh, the secrets I spill
Oh, always have, always will, oh
I’m drowning myself in the overkill, oh
I’m not proud of what I use to gain your trust
Just a stage light con man singing what I must
Caught in between where I am and where I wanna be
Oh, the secrets I spill
Oh, always have, always will, oh
I’m drowning myself in the overkill, overkill
Overnight at the club
Overserved, sobered up
Overcoat, in the cab
Overplayed my own hand
Overthought what I said
It's a drug I regret
I regret I regret I regret
Oh, the secrets I spill
Oh, always have, always will, oh
I’m drowning myself in the overkill, overkill, overkill
