Compass Lyrics by ROAM

No Common Ground

2012

[Verse 1]
Hibernation brings out the best in me
When I can't stand myself
Or the things I've seen
I guess the other side of the grass isn't always green

I thought it was all the same
Aim high like they always say
But the small print reads a different way

[Chorus]
And I'll stand on my own two feet, you will not defeat me
No white flag or admit defeat cause that's not my way
I'll walk the depths of this earth
Misguided, struck off and burnt
Before I lay this to rest
And get this weight off of my chest

[Verse 2]
Again I'm homeward bound
My anchor won't set in deeper ground
Lost not found, my direction has lost me again

And I can't take this constant feeling of misplaced guilt
It wasn't me this time, last time or ever will be
And if I continue to feel this way
I think I'll lose myself and what I set out to be

[Bridge]
Homeward bound
Lost my sense of direction
Lost not found
And I'm falling down
These grey skies now
Covered my horizons
For too long now

[Chorus]
And I'll stand on my own two feet, you will not defeat me
No white flag or admit defeat cause that's not my way
I'll walk the depths of this earth
Misguided, struck off and burnt
Before I lay this to rest
And get this weight off of my chest
