Crimes Of Compassion. Lyrics

These crimes of compassion
Leave you looking like you're lost in a labyrinth
Yeah it keeps running circles round
Circles round you, ah

Always swimming with the sharks
Deep diving in the dark
You've been drifting for a long, long time
On a used-up battery
The fractals of regret
Make every scene you recollect
Almost look like it was liquified
On a Roman tapestry

And even when that ego
Burns karma castles down
Don't be sure you've found the sea

'Cause these crimes of compassion
Leave you looking like you're lost in a labyrinth
Yeah it keeps running circles round
Circles round you, ah
These crimes of compassion
Think you're mushy for that mind over madness
Yeah it keeps running circles round
Circles round you, ah

Steady twisting in the dirt
Precious petals of the Earth, ah
Like the metal in the Milky Way
Your mind becomes fire
Given up on a way out
You're really shaking in your boots now
Take one step to the edge
The riptide pulls deeper

'Cause these crimes of compassion
Leave you looking like you're lost in a labyrinth
Yeah it keeps running circles round
Circles round you, ah
These crimes of compassion
Think you're mushy for that mind over madness
Yeah it keeps running circles round
Circles round you, ah
