Compelled Lyrics by The Mommyheads

Future You

2019

It doesn’t make sense, the things we do
We’re caught in a trap
Some kind of feedback loop
We’re so convinced we’re in control
Until you taste that pill
And you swallow it whole
There’s only one way in and only one way out
Your will to live was never in doubt
And you wonder what this all about
You do it ’cause you’re compelled
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Little fragments of our history
We’re strung together
Though we think we’re apart
The blood from your past
Is flowing through my heart
Millions came before
And there are millions at the door
Treading between love and war
And you wonder what they do it for
They do it ’cause they’re compelled
Running from despair
Chasing a metal hare
Are we too compelled to look around?
Our instincts helped us thrive
And kept us alive
But they can also tear us down
They burned down your temples
And tried to starve you out
They melted down your gold
And put your faith in doubt
You say that never again will you be fooled
Until you load that chamber
And the trigger gets pulled
There’s only one way in
There’s only one way out
We ate the forbidden fruit and still survived
It’s a miracle that we are still alive
We do it ’cause we’re compelled
