Straylight Run - The Great Compromise lyrics
rate me<BR>
The music floats like smoke.<br>
Now it's here, now it's not.<br>
It's disintegrating, vanishing, replaced before it's gone.<br>
There's another band in line, and another one behind them.<br>
All with eager eyes.<br>
So desperate to be whatever you need.<br>
<br>
I want to point the finger, but never take a look at myself.<br>
I got where I am by giving up on who I was.<br>
There were things I needed.<br>
There were things I wanted to say.<br>
I would have to pay for the chance they gave me.<br>
<br>
Oh, the great compromise.<br>
Oh, the great compromise.<br>
<br>
Slithering thoughts from the corners of my mind,<br>
They turn inside out and they come alive.<br>
Hiding out inside having fights with my conscience.<br>
Am I working on progressing or working on a lie?<br>
<br>
The meaningless parade,<br>
The broke down cliche,<br>
Hysterical and sinking,<br>
Shouting and screaming<br>
"I thought that I was so much more!"<br>
"I thought that I could just save myself before the ship went down!"<br>
"I though that I could leave it behind!"<br>
But I won't survive.<br>
I won't survive.<br>
<br>
I'm alright, but my hands always feel tied.<br>
I'm alright, but my hands always feel tied.<br>
<br>
The meaningless parade,<br>
The broke down cliche,<br>
Hysterical and sinking,<br>
Shouting and screaming<br>
"I thought that I was so much more!"<br>
"I thought that I could just save myself before the ship went down!"<br>
"I though that I could leave it behind!"<br>
But I won't survive.<br>
I won't survive.<br>
<br>
I won't survive.<br>
(Slithering thoughts from the corners of my mind)<br>
I won't survive.<br>
(They turn inside out and they come alive)<br>
<br>
I won't survive.<br>
(Slithering thoughts from the corners of my mind)<br>
I won't survive.<br>
(They turn inside out and they come alive)<br>
<br>
I won't survive.<br>
(Slithering thoughts from the corners of my mind)<br>
I won't survive.<br>
(They turn inside out and they come alive)<br>
