One kiss and you're unconscious
Silent treatment and you're speaking too honest
Over a hundred thousand meters in the clear
Heavy breathing and the fear reappears
My sweat breaks as my heart palpitates

When I, I realise
My compromise

I was leaving, heaving running from the law
Hopping fences, having senseless withdrawals
On my last breath, shaking scared to death
Kneeling down with my hands up in the air
My sweat breaks as my heart palpitates

When I, I realise
My compromise
At that precise
Moment in time...

And it was all too much to take, take twice
Should've broken out when it pulled me tight

Hang the noose or resolute
Apprehension will preclude
Cut the rope and drop my gun
I'm not fooling anyone
With my compromise
It's my one vice
It's my compromise
