Narcissus - The Compromise Lyrics
Official




Something on that ship that sank
It howled at the wind
Something on that wind so cold
It cut to the bone
Cut to the bone
The seething being in me tore out my soul
The darker side of me set me free
Set me free
I wipe the sweat from my brow
Throw in this bloodstained towel
Let my conscience slip from this headspace
No morals tying me down
I've got the world on my shoulders
I don't think I can hold it
And I'm about to let it go
Then my life flashes before me
I see ones that adore me
That's when I rise back up again
I say f*ck this burden
I'll rip the ties of obligation
Now I realise it's in my hands if I bow my head to greed
One more time I say f*ck this burden
I'll strip my life of all that isn't me
I see you're disappointed
Well, that's not my concern now
Set me free
I've got two worlds on my shoulders
I don't think I can hold them
I know that one has got to go
Will I choose truth and morality
Or a life of insanity?
I hear a voice from down below
Come, walk by our side
You'll never have to hide
But can you grant my wishes?
You will have it all
So rich and powerful
Then let the changeover begin
Skin flakes away
True colours unveiled
Skin flakes away
True colours unveiled
I've turned into something so unreal
No longer feel emotion
Kill the mortal side of me so I can never die
Skin flakes away
True colours unveiled
The selfish creature in me rises
The selfish creature in me
The seething being in me
The darker side of me rises
Set me free
Set me free
