Featuring Katie Schrapler on her first ever vocal part
music and lyrics by Karl

lyrics

In a world full of complaints
it really only takes one person
to initiate a change
but beware of the exchange
the consequence of ridicule
is powerless if you remember
that its only jealousy
that they feel for the ideas that you're
requesting
acceptance
but instead find
distaste

we want to hear what we've already heard
because its easier that way
we want to walk the same path as before
even independence is too exhausting

appreciation, must be in incubation
within the narrow ignorant disciples
to the scene they don't read into
you want simple you want fast
you just want to mirror past events
prerecorded now regurgitated
throughout your borrowed actions

sometimes a compromise is needed
for a goal to be succeeded
COMPROMISE
and sometimes the answers never
for when things will come together
PITIFUL
sometimes a sacrifice is needed
or your future gets deleted
SACRIFICE
and its sad that i should know this
but I've got your diagnosis
TROPOPHOBIA
