The real you is wasted,
Your actions in vain
You beat down your passions for financial gain
You're missing the point you've forgotten your name

Don't make excuses, don't give me reasons
No explanations, no one cares
You're oh so convincing
You lie to yourself
Caught in the thinking of everyone else
All for the gamble of wealth

Compromise, compromise yourself
Compromise, compromise you'll sell your soul

On the outside you're fine
You're owning your role
Manufacturing smiles is just getting so old
How long can you last 'til this all takes it's toll

Don't make excuses, don't give me reasons
No explanations, no one cares
You've come now so far, the way that you act
You know in your heart what you wish could take back
But you've drifted so far from the tracks

Compromise, compromise yourself
Compromise, compromise you'll sell your soul

You're gonna sell your soul
You're gonna sell your soul
You're gonna sell your soul
You're gonna sell your soul
You're gonna sell your soul

Your reasons, deceiving
Your actions, misleading
You've got your price,
Forgot your past
Now that you're here,
There's no turning back
