"Moral Compass" lyrics
"Moral Compass"
On the outskirts of a plan
With just a busted moral compass dying in my hand
I'm just trying to get through beyond this place I've been before
I'm just someone trying to turn a wall into a door
Yes I am
Yes I am
On the outskirts of control
I found myself a patch of dirt and dug myself a hole
When I got to the bottom yes I hoped to find exotic lands
The beginning resembled the end
The future goes where I began
Fate is always punching with an open hand
Fate is always punching with an open hand
How do I withstand uncertainty
When living makes a killing off of me?
I let karma calculate worthy rewards and penalties
And I embrace my temporary destiny
Yes I am
Yes I am
On the last boat out at sea
With just a busted moral compass guiding you to me
I'm just trying to get past the thoughts that trap me in the dark
I'm just someone trying to turn the end into the start
Rusted gates I'm hoping might just fall apart
I was always open with a helpless heart
How do I withstand uncertainty
When living makes a killing off of me?
I let karma calculate worthy rewards and penalties
And I embrace my temporary destiny
Yes I am
On the outskirts of control
Yes I am
On the outskirts of control
Yes I am
On the outskirts of a plan
With just a busted moral compass dying in my hand

Rilo Kiley - "Science Vs. Romance" I used to think if I could realize I'd die
Then I would be a lot nicer
Used to believe in a lot more
Now I just see straight ahead
That's not to say I don't have good times
But as for my days, I...

Slowly their necks turn and then they're gone
No one cares when the show is done
Standing in line and its cold and you want to go

Santigold - "GO!" People want my power
And they want my station
Storm my winter palace
But they couldn't take it
All the way to Paris
Run my reputation
Try to pull my status
But they couldn't fake it
