They built these pyramids light as sand
Into a concrete jungle with a mosh pit hand
Thank god, the damage pinned us all
We got voodoo dolls hanging upside down
By the last nerve banging on the junkyard walls
Like something's new, tell me what you found
The fortune teller told me why, but I
Didn't listen I just looked him in the eye and said
Listen here I don't believe yet
No, I don't need that and you don't neither
And once in a while you just got to take a breather
Take off your hat, smile and pay some respect
Something on the brighter side, something on the way
The compass says which ever way I choose
Something on the brighter side, something Ive been trying to find
Something that reminds me I'll get through
Something on the brighter side, something I can taste
The compass says which ever way I choose, yeah
Call me aphrodisiac, call me hypochondriac
Either way I've got nothing to lose
To a foundation that was built amongst a
Dragons grave, dead leaves and fungus, and
A parasite who knows which game to play
They flash that freedom on a fancy screen
And if you got money the grass is always green
I know what its worth and I know what I will pay
Yeah I know it feels like something's wrong
When everything is going right, and if
It isn't, then the worst is yet to come
Nothing ever lasts forever, I could blame a raindrop
Or adapt to the weather, but
Either way at the end of the day I'm gone
Something on the brighter side, something on the way
The compass says which ever way I choose
Something on the brighter side, something Ive been trying to find
Something that reminds me I'll get through
Something on the brighter side, something I can taste
The compass says which ever way I choose, yeah
Call me aphrodisiac, call me hypochondriac
Either way I've got nothing to prove
