Compromise of 1984

Came to compromise for all of me that has withered up and
Faded like a fallen sunset
Came to compromise and let this music paint our silence
Like a fallen sunset

And it's each beat pounding in my head
This too familiar sound of failure
This song I can't get out of my head
This too familiar sound repeating
Every note making up for words unsaid
This too familiar sound
We've all sang this same hymn of infatuation

[Chorus]
We're making up for each bitter tongue
Letting the world know in different ways
Taking our feelings we can't express
And showcasing them as if, as if they really mattered

Here we go
Save me (Save me)

These strings are the only ones connected to my heart
That no one can play with
These are the only strings connected to my heart
That no one can play with
We're letting the world know

[Chorus]
We're making up for each bitter tongue
Letting the world know in different ways
Taking our feelings we can't express
And showcasing them as if, as if they really mattered
