about

"This song is about the compromise in life of losing people you love. And though a person will accept the fact that people around them will die, we never want to say good bye. it becomes a compromise, compromised... "
-David Coulson

lyrics

Compromise Compromised

Dam they caught you by surprise,
Had the meanest ease you seen in someone’s eyes
And when they called you, you were tongue-tide.
Holding wrist at the bedside.

And when it hit you, you were liquefied,
Couldn’t get how it caught you by surprise,
Saw it coming still it hit between the eyes
Was a compromise compromised.
We keep bumpin
Like we got to get something yo.
We keep running
We aint running from nothing… no!
