Compromise

I remember sitting in the last booth
At the diner in the town we used to live
My hands were shaking
As I thought about the life I chose to live
And all that I would have to give up
I took a leap into eternity
Would I create a new reality?
Or just another
Compromise
Is this the life I bargained for?
Or just another compromise
I should've asked for more
That was 18, full of piss and vinegar
I was the only one who had a clue
Seven years are gone
And I don't wanna have this same old fuckin' talk
When I turn 32
I took a trip to get some clarity
Just to learn that there's no you and me
You're just another
Compromise
Is this the life I bargained for?
Or just another compromise
I should've asked for more
I'm fraying at the seams
And you still don't know what it means
To want the things you haven't seen
Compromise
Is this the life I bargained for?
Or just another compromise
I should've asked for more

Feel No Pain

Yeah, did you think I’d take this lyin’ down?
When you turned the knife and smiled right in my face
You left me on the brink, on the other side of town
Now I’m mad as hell, and I’m back in the race
You’re gonna rue the day
I stepped out of your shadows
Now I feel no pain
You just lost your edge
And now it’s mine to gain
Maybe you’ll think twice
Before you play my game
And don’t you show your face
Round here tonight
Now there’s venom coursing through my veins
And I’d rather die than live to be your clone
And now the joke’s on you, 'cause no one needs you too
You made your bed, and now you sleep alone
You had to turn on me
To shake me to my senses
Now I feel no pain
You just lost your edge
And now it’s mine to gain
Maybe you’ll think twice
Before you play my game
And don’t you show your face
Round here tonight
Now I feel no pain
You just lost your edge
And now it’s mine to gain
Maybe you’ll think twice
Before you play my game
And don’t you show your face
Round here tonight

Wasteland

Left my home with my life scattered on the floor
The end so close that I could taste it
I came back to try to settle up the score
Just to see that you’d disgraced it
So let’s not pretend that I’m on the mend
I’m sick as a dog, can’t you tell?
Abandoned my friends for dollars and trends
It’s just another fine day in hell
Feels like I’m losing my mind
Am I the last of my kind?
The world keeps on turning
And I keep on yearning
Desperate to find my way out
Of this wasteland
Trudging through the desert 40 years or more
Name a plague, I bet I’ve faced it
Now you drag me back into your endless war
I hate to see potential wasted
So this was your plan, why fight like a man
When the squeaky wheel’s the one serviced first
For all of the pissants and misanthrope fools
Congrats, honey, you’ve been the worst
Feels like I’m losing my mind
Am I the last of my kind?
The world keeps on turning
And I keep on yearning
Desperate to find my way out
Of this wasteland
Feels like I’m losing my mind
Am I the last of my kind?
The world keeps on turning
And I keep on yearning
Desperate to find my way out
Of this wasteland

The Truth
03:06

Woke up from a five-year daydream
Wondering if I’d get that feeling again
I lost touch with all of my team
And limped to an unceremonious end
Young at heart
But I turned 26 last week
And the lines on my face tell me
That my future’s looking bleak
I pissed away all my time
I’m wishing on my last dime
Well is this over now?
Won’t you tell me the truth?
It’s hard to recognize my some days
Black my eyes and do my cute little dance
I’ve gotta drop this pop star cosplay
And strike out on my own, just give me a chance
Young at heart
But I turned 26 last week
And the lines on my face tell me
That my future’s looking bleak
I pissed away all my time
I’m wishing on my last dime
Well is this over now?
Won’t you tell me the truth?
Tell me!
I pissed away all my time
I’m wishing on my last dime
Well is this over now?
Won’t you tell me the truth?
Tell me!

It’s late, I did a lot of bad things to you
And now I’m wondering
If I can pull myself up off the floor
You say I don’t have anything left to prove
Well then maybe you can tell me
Just what I’ve been fighting for
I don’t wanna waste away
I’m sick of walking through the haze
And feeling like there’s nothing left
‘Cause I’m not getting any younger
Is it any wonder
I found myself to blame?
Now I can’t even find that hunger
I don’t know the number
Of days that feel the same
I killed the lights and I shut the door
To try to find whatever I was looking for
I’d rather get lost in a TV screen
Than ask what all these feelings are supposed to mean
I used to pray to God all this shit would change
To take away the bitterness and quell the rage
So sick of being numb, too scared to ask for help
But not as much as being honest with myself
You know
I’m not getting any younger
Is it any wonder
I found myself to blame?
Now I can’t even find that hunger
I don’t know the number
Of days that feel the same
I built a wall around me
To have a place to break down
I made a million mistakes
But now I’m finally crawling my way out
‘Cause I’m not getting any younger
Is it any wonder
I found myself to blame?
Now I can’t even find that hunger
I don’t know the number
Of days that feel the same
‘Cause I’m not getting any younger
Is it any wonder
I found myself to blame?
Now I can’t even find that hunger
I don’t know the number
Of days that feel the same
