Compromise Filter

To pass within superficial skin, like the slow blade
Your fate dances on
Tell me when the pain is gone
I'll wait here and hold your hand, but don't make any demands
You just lack the insight to cast a clear eye at this
Duality that shares me... come and be my witness
Tell me when the pain is gone

I won't walk away, I'm standing here before you
Look in your eyes, there's something inside you belong to
Do you believe? Well, if you believe
Maybe then, maybe then... it can change you

Left me all alone in a room except for shadows
All the snakes had long since slithered to their holes
Tell me when the pain is gone
I'll wait here and hold your hand, maybe I'll understand
Do I just lack the insight to cast a clear eye at this
Duality that shares me... come and be my witness
Tell me when the pain is gone

I won't walk away, I'm standing here before you
Look in your eyes, there's something inside you belong to
Do you believe? Well, if you believe
Maybe then, maybe then... it can change you

And all the words... they were gone and dry, gone and dry, gone and dry
And all the songs... they were done and tried, done and tried, done and tried
And all the feelings... we left behind, we left behind
And all the feelings... between you and I
Ending where I stand
All alone... all alone again
Before you reach through, first compromise... this filter
Separating all our... lives
Where I stand... all alone
All alone again
