Compromised - Adestria
You've lost the light
That I thought I had found
Given up on the flight
And settled to remain here on the ground
Force comfort and rest
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 their 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 their 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
