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 its 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 [repeat

Your reasons, deceiving

Your actions, misleading

You've got your price, forgot your past

Now that you're here there's no turning back
