Lyrics

Compaction

Are you satisfied?
I can still remember your tone
Have we really tried?
Feels like this goes on and on

I'm looking and the leaves are gone
Watch 'em as they're drifting away
And I'm laughing 'cause it seems all wrong
And we start it over again

Just stop
Playing at the top of the hill
Give up
Don't forget to swallow your pills

Are you satisfied?
Or do you still wake up alone?
Are they sleepless nights?
I'm thinking maybe you should move home

Compaction
Compaction
Just stop
Playing at the top of the hill
Give up
Don't forget to swallow your pills
