A Compromise

Time starts to leave me
Out the window with common sense
Are we to blame for all our choices
That we can't remember out of ignorance

I'm running outside but I won't catch you up
Stumbling over my words

And it feels like a compromise
The wine is weighing me down and I keep drinking it through the night
And I need shelter from my destructive ways
My apathy keeps building with every passing day

At the time you are my best friend
These fake connections as we ascend
After a while the potion turns to poison
And the only thing that's hurting is my head

I'm heading inside where I feel safe
Cause vulnerability makes me nervous

And it feels like a compromise
The wine is weighing me down and I keep drinking it through the night
And I need shelter from my destructive ways
My apathy keeps building with every passing day

And I try to leave the past behind
But it comes back to haunt me
It gets me every time

There's no escaping me now
And with the rising sun
It makes me think I'm special
But I'm not the only one

It's dragging me down and
I can't run and I can't fight

And it feels like a compromise
The wine is weighing me down and I keep drinking it through the night
And I need shelter from my destructive ways
My apathy keeps building with every passing day

And it feels like a compromise
The wine is weighing me down and I keep drinking it through the night
And I need shelter from my destructive ways
My apathy keeps building with every passing day

It feels like a compromise
The way it likes to hurt me
I fall for my own lies
So I stop feeling worthy
