Текст песни Haste - VickiIs This A Compromise?

It begins with a process of denying anything that happens to you is your fault
Place blame, blame on anyone but you
Turn a blind eye as if consequence somehow escapes you
Let your guard down for just one time in your life,
Would you let sincerity move you?
How does it feel trying not to drown,
Swimming a sea of regret with your past bearing down upon you?
Selfish in nature, given into impulse
I've lost so much from hurting others for my gain
No way to justify, no more excuse
Begging forgiveness is a custom I've embraced for too long
Let your guard down for just one time in your life,
Would you let sincerity move you?
How does it feel trying not to drown,
Swimming a sea of regret with your past bearing down upon you?
Begging forgiveness from lips that hold hatred for me
Slip a small blade between tissue and frame
Keep this as my first souvenir of your trust
Shameless damage of the skin and bone
No recourse Wounds of character are what is killing me
Let your guard down for just one time in your life,
Would you let sincerity move you?
How does it feel trying not to drown,
Swimming a sea of regret with your past bearing down upon you?
