Compasses & Closure

from Valiant Efforts by Scarlet Victory

lyrics

You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points south.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points...
I have got to fight the red complection
Keep from running my mouth.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points south.
At first glance it wasn't worth it.
Prayed for gills instead of wood for a boat.
I can't stand it.
Rather thrive in danger than barely stand a float.
I let go now.
I'll leave it in the arms of someone else.
You can't let me run away now.
You've never not caught me every single time I fell.
Can't beg you to
Hold my head up high.
you tore the static from me
So I could thrive.
This effort wasn't wasted.
Taught my eyes how to stay dry.
This effort wasn't wasted.
This time I am still alive.
This time I won't die.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points south.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points...
I have got to fight the red complection
Keep from running my mouth.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points south.
Here we go again in the same situation.
Pressing down on eachother's necks.
One too many altercations.
None of us belong anywhere behind a desk.
I'll fuel my lungs with
Nothing that'll taste too conventional.
You can't see I'm meant for this.
A mediocre life is a private hell.
It doesn't matter to me
What you wish I'd do.
I promise everything within me has thought this through.
So keep your mouth shut
Get out of my way
We're not gonna waste this light.
This effort wasn't wasted
This time I am still alive.
This time I won't die.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points south.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points...
I have got to fight the red complection
Keep from running my mouth.
You and I don't point the same direction.
Cause my compass points south.
Every time I turn around bombarded with anxiety.
Feeling like I need someone to provide me with some clarity.
When I thought what held my value was having someone to hold onto.
I now know this to not be true.
Stay strong I believe in you.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points south.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points...
I have got to fight the red complection
Keep from running my mouth.
You and I don't point the same direction
Cause my compass points south.
