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

But I won't survive.
|
I won't survive.
|
|
I won't survive.
|
(Slithering thoughts from the corners of my mind)
|
I won't survive.
|
(They turn inside out and they come alive)
|
|
I won't survive.

I won't survive.
