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
