Compromise
Build myself up to tear me down
Speak low and make no sound
Say something referential
Sell me off pound for pound
Fall out of love and out of line
Say "I won't waste my time
With little things like empathy
And calling someone mine"
Spend the night with catastrophe
Hold my breath while I try to sleep
Why you looking so plain?
Pray for some sort of relief
But what's it worth if you like to bleed?
Forget my name
Deep down, I think I love the rush of the guilt
Write down about a thousand lies
Hate myself for the hundredth time
Call it compromise
Go take another photograph
Something to make 'em laugh
Then second guess all of the traits
You thought you knew you had
Another day on the fence
Another bridge I can't mend
Stuck with the hell in my head
(Just echo what she said)
Spend the night with catastrophe
Hold my breath while I try to sleep
Why you looking so plain?
Pray for some sort of relief
But what's it worth if you like to bleed?
Forget my name
Deep down, I think I love the rush of the guilt
Write down about a thousand lies
Hate myself for the hundredth time
Call it compromise
Watching me go down
Living life in a ghost town
Make me speed up and slow down
(Find my place in the background)
Watch me feign exhaustion
Help me cope with caution
Pressure makes me nauseous
Guess that's why they call this compromise
Spend the night with catastrophe
Hold my breath while I try to sleep
Why you looking so plain?
Pray for some sort of relief
But what's it worth if you like to bleed?
Forget my name
Deep down, I think I love the rush of the guilt
Write down about a thousand lies
Hate myself for the hundredth time
Call it compromise
Speak low and make no sound
Say something referential
Sell me off pound for pound
Fall out of love and out of line
Say "I won't waste my time
With little things like empathy
And calling someone mine"
Spend the night with catastrophe
Hold my breath while I try to sleep
Why you looking so plain?
Pray for some sort of relief
But what's it worth if you like to bleed?
Forget my name
Deep down, I think I love the rush of the guilt
Write down about a thousand lies
Hate myself for the hundredth time
Call it compromise
Go take another photograph
Something to make 'em laugh
Then second guess all of the traits
You thought you knew you had
Another day on the fence
Another bridge I can't mend
Stuck with the hell in my head
(Just echo what she said)
Spend the night with catastrophe
Hold my breath while I try to sleep
Why you looking so plain?
Pray for some sort of relief
But what's it worth if you like to bleed?
Forget my name
Deep down, I think I love the rush of the guilt
Write down about a thousand lies
Hate myself for the hundredth time
Call it compromise
Watching me go down
Living life in a ghost town
Make me speed up and slow down
(Find my place in the background)
Watch me feign exhaustion
Help me cope with caution
Pressure makes me nauseous
Guess that's why they call this compromise
Spend the night with catastrophe
Hold my breath while I try to sleep
Why you looking so plain?
Pray for some sort of relief
But what's it worth if you like to bleed?
Forget my name
Deep down, I think I love the rush of the guilt
Write down about a thousand lies
Hate myself for the hundredth time
Call it compromise
