Lyrics To Kill A King – Compassion Is A German Word
Text:
Don’t be so arrogant
You ain’t no different to anyone I’ve met
We’re all the heroes in our own film
Or maybe the villain in someone else’s
The Cobain to someone’s Courtney
It’s the weight of this comforting thought
That keeps the gun locked safe in the drawer
Don’t be so destructive
You ain’t no different to anyone I’ve met
We’re all fighting our own battles
Struggling to swallow some salty regrets
We all got a Caliban
And an Ariel fixed up in our minds
Dissecting every choice we make
Like some teenage cheerleader barking at the gate, I say
Compassion, compassion, compassion, compassion, compassion oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion is my weapon of
Compassion, compassion, compassion, co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion is my weapon of choice
Don’t feel so guilty
You’ve not had a thought someone else hasn’t had
And if by some chance you did
Then that should be enough to die happy man
We’re all drowning in this darkness
That you see despite all our progress
Never seems to thin no matter
How long on this rock we’re spinning so I preach
Compassion, compassion, compassion, compassion, compassion oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion is my weapon of
Compassion, compassion, compassion is my weapon of choice
