Compassion Is a German Word by To Kill A King Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't be so arrogant
You ain't no different
To anyone I've met
We're all the heroes in our own film
Or maybe the villain in someone else's
[Verse 2]
The Ned Flanders to someone's Homer
The Cobain to someone's Courtney
It's the weight of this comforting thought
That keeps the gun locked safe in the drawer
[Verse 3]
Don't be so destructive
You ain't no different
To anyone I've met
We're all fighting our own battles
Struggling to swallow some salty regrets
[Verse 4]
We all got a Caliban
And an Ariel fixed up in our minds
Dissecting every choice we make
Like some teenage cheerleader barking at the gate, I say
[Chorus]
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of choice
[Verse 5]
Don't feel so guilty
You've not had a thought
Someone else hasn't had
And if by some chance you did
Then that should be enough to die happy man
[Verse 6]
We're all drowning in this darkness
That you see despite all our progress
Never seems to thin no matter
How long on this rock we're spinning so I preach
[Chorus]
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of choice
[Chorus]
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
[Chorus]
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of choice
Don't be so arrogant
You ain't no different
To anyone I've met
We're all the heroes in our own film
Or maybe the villain in someone else's
[Verse 2]
The Ned Flanders to someone's Homer
The Cobain to someone's Courtney
It's the weight of this comforting thought
That keeps the gun locked safe in the drawer
[Verse 3]
Don't be so destructive
You ain't no different
To anyone I've met
We're all fighting our own battles
Struggling to swallow some salty regrets
[Verse 4]
We all got a Caliban
And an Ariel fixed up in our minds
Dissecting every choice we make
Like some teenage cheerleader barking at the gate, I say
[Chorus]
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of choice

Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion

Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion

[Chorus]
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion

Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion

Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion

Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
