~ Compromise ~

Sailing through the tunnels

In the morning by yourself

There's a very special feeling

It's the sensation all is well

 

If you stand and reach your arms out wide

Close your eyes and try to fly

It's all just an illusion

A truth from which you can not hide

 

There's no indication of

What we were meant to be

given up to strangers

begging, yearning to be free

 

You knew all the answers

And you shouted them like anthems

Anxious and suspicious

That God knew how much we cheated

 

And now you've spent your life

Waiting for this moment

And when you saw it come

It passed you by and left you so defeated
