Snake Mountain Lyrics

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 till 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
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
