Compromised

You’ve lost the light, that I thought I had found
(Given up on flight)
Given up on flight and settled to remain here on the ground!
Force comfort and rest (force comfort and rest)
And adjust to unpleasantness
You gave up on what you had (you gave up on what you had)
You know that your greatest compromise weighs heavy in your eyes
I can see that it’s something you cannot hide…
You fenced yourself in with these white posts
Given up on what you needed the most
He clipped your wings, you no longer sing
You allowed the worm to make you it’s host
A cage is a cage even when there are no bars…
And if you keep your head down then there’s no way you’ll see the stars!
You’ve let him become the weights that keep you tethered to the floor
You know that your greatest compromise weighs heavy in your eyes
I can see that it’s something you cannot hide…
You fenced yourself in with these white posts
Given up on what you needed the most
He clipped your wings, you no longer sing
You allowed the worm to make you it’s host
A cage is a cage even when there are no bars…
And if you keep your head down then there’s no way you’ll see the stars!
A house can’t make you whole
And the bottle won’t return what he stole
Sleeves to cover wrists, bruised from heavy fists
You can’t say you’re complete when what you’re missing still exists
There’s hardly a shadow of who you once were!
What have you become?
Lost and alone!
But you live for the crash, you ache for the flames, the pity it brings
What have you become?
