Compartmentalize

(album: Recollections Of A Painted Year - 2022)

Would you like to get away?
Try a different name
Than who you really are?
Wanna play a game?
Something for the pain
Just to hide another scar?
Walking through the door
Whatchu waiting for?
You're the author of the plan
That's what its all about
Going in and out
And I'll never understand

How you can just pretend
That everything is fine
Caught in your masterpiece
While you just run and hide

What's the point in changing
When you're living the life?
Bet it feels amazing
When you're sleeping at night
No, you won't stop running from
The truth in your eyes
You'll just keep it all up
And compartmentalize

And all the beauty fades
In everything you've made
And you're your biggest fan
You hate the bitter taste
Of any hope that waits
And I just don't understand

How you can just pretend
That everything is fine
Caught in your masterpiece
While you just run and hide

What's the point in changing
When you're living the life?
Bet it feels amazing
When you're sleeping at night
No, there's no escaping from
From the truth in your eyes
But you'll keep it all up
And compartmentalize

Keep it in
Don't let it out
Getting yours is what its all about
Keep it in
Don't let it out
Getting yours is what its all about

What's the point in changing
When you're living the life?
Bet it feels amazing
When you're sleeping at night
No you won't stop running
From the truth in your eyes
You'll just keep it all up
And compartmentalize

Keep it in
Don't let it out
Keep it in
Don't let it out
Keep it in
Don't let it out
Keep it in
Don't let it out
