These crimes of compassion
Leave you looking like you're lost in a labyrinth
Yeah, it keeps running circles 'round, circles 'round you

Always swimming with the sharks, deep diving in the dark, oh
You've been drifting for a long, long time on a used-up battery
The fractals of regret make every scene you recollect
Almost look like it was liquified on a Roman tapestry

And even when that ego burns karma castles down
Don't be sure you've found the sea

'Cause these crimes of compassion
Leave you looking like you're lost in a labyrinth
Yeah, it keeps running circles 'round, circles 'round you, oh
These crimes of compassion
Make you mushy for that mind over madness
It keeps running circles 'round, circles 'round you, oh (ih-huh)

Steady twisting in the dirt, precious petals of the Earth, oh
Like the metal in the Milky Way, your mind becomes fire
Given up on a way out, you're really shaking in your boots now
Take one step to the edge, the riptide pulls deeper

'Cause these crimes of compassion
Leave you looking like you're lost in a labyrinth
Yeah, it keeps running circles 'round, circles 'round you, oh
These crimes of compassion
Make you mushy for that mind over madness
Yeah, it keeps running circles 'round, circles 'round you, oh (uh-huh)

Circles
Circles around you
