Cruel Compensation (The Locust Remix)

It's not like me to feel this way
It's not like me to feel this way
It's not like me to feel this way
It's not like me to feel this way
Cruel compensation
Cruel compensation

I'm resistant now to change
Feeling different can be very strange
I am feeling a compelling urge
To enact some kind of purge

It's not like me to feel this way
It's not like me to feel this way
Cruel compensation
Cruel compensation

Living a lie gets so easy to take
Because time has no friends, no beginning, no end

Perpendicular anomalies
Crowd my space and sap my energies
Take my weapon before I forget
I'll do something that we both regret

Dynamite to the intellect
With an NDA not to resurrect
But to purify, not eliminate
Through a mental disorder we struggle to elevate

Cruel compensation
Cruel compensation

Dignity for the human race
Is like getting a leather boot in the face
It's an insult that no one should ever have to
Take from the man who shouts out a command for
Respect and compliance
An act of defiance

Is everything, but it's never enough
Without energy, it's the only acceptable
Answer, and it's never enough
And it feels like it's going to be tough

Feel this way
Feel this way
It's not like me
It's not like me to feel this way
Feel this way
It's not like me to feel this
Everything needs to get turned upside
Turned upside down
