Beating Compass - Quote Unquote

You’ve got me under your spell;

It hasn’t worked so well for me.

So I am flying south

for winter, summer, fall, and spring.

I’ll set sail for the coast and let go

of this anchor I’ve been holding on to.

If i don’t I’ll drown;

you’re pulling me under.

We’re all born with a built-in beating compass,

no thought needed;

you should just feel it.

We’re all born with a built-in beating compass.

I’m swaying back and forth,

so determined to find my new due north.

Everyone around is telling me

that I am way off course.

But the voices inside my head don’t agree.

They keep telling me…

We’re all born with a built-in beating compass,

no thought needed;

you should just feel it.

We’re all born with a built-in beating compass.

I feel myself begin to fall between the cracks.

I’ve lost myself to something I know I’ll regret.

Another face, forgotten names,

winding circles of path.

I’ll step aside and watch it slide,

swept in to the past.

We’re all born with a built-in beating compass,

no thought needed;

you should just feel it.

We’re all born with a built-in beating compass.
