Sell Your Soul
Selling Souls: Chasing Dreams, Ignoring Consequences
Lyrics
We had all anyone ever asked for
We possessed everything anyone could desire.
But we picked it up and threw it all away
We deliberately discarded everything we had.
It's funny how nobody ever asked for
It's ironic how no one ever requested what we discarded.
You can laugh it up but it's not the same
You may find it amusing, but the experience is not the same.
And don't you ask for anything more
Don't desire anything beyond what we have.
For we've been down that road before
We have been through similar situations before.
And the people outside are saying it's the same
People outside are claiming it's a recurring pattern.
Hard when there's no one else to blame.
It's challenging when there's no one else to hold responsible.
And you'd sell your soul to blame it on
You would give up your integrity to place blame on someone else.
Anyone but you
Preferably blaming anyone else but yourself.
And there comes a time when you change your mind
There comes a moment when you reconsider your stance.
To see it all through
To persevere and understand the situation completely.
It's a money world where nobody learns your name
We exist in a world where one's name is often disregarded in pursuit of wealth.
You can eek it out until you hit the grave
You can persist until death, but recognition is elusive.
It's funny how perspectives have changed
Perspectives have shifted, and it's interesting how.
You can laugh it up but it's not ok
Laughing it off doesn't make it acceptable.
And don't you ask for anything more
Do not aspire for more than what we currently have.
For we've been down that road before
We've traversed this path before.
And the people outside are saying it's the same
Observers claim it's a repetitive scenario.
Hard when there's no one else to blame
Difficult when there's no one else to hold accountable.
And you'd sell your soul to blame it on
You would compromise your principles to shift blame.
Anyone but you
Pointing fingers at anyone but yourself.
And there comes a time when you change your mind
A moment arrives when you reconsider your perspective.
To see it all through
To persist and understand the situation thoroughly.
Sell your soul to blame it on
Give up your integrity to shift blame.
Anyone but you
Blaming anyone else but yourself.
And there comes a time when you change your mind
A moment comes when you alter your viewpoint.
To see it all through
To persevere and comprehend the entirety of the situation.
We had all anyone ever asked for
We had everything anyone could wish for.
But we picked it up and threw it all away
Yet, we chose to discard it all recklessly.
