I made a choice not long 
To travel on the brink
Of the values I uphold
And still believe in

In the name of my [bad word] 
I sacrificed my pride 
To continue the charade
While I bide my time

Why is it never enough 
Why do you bleed my soul 
Still not satisfied
Now that you've taken all 
Never before did I plead 
You got me on my knees 
Caught in your embrace 
Till you let go of me

You’ve succeeded where I failed
Using methods I abhor 
Since blind violence is hailed 
As tool of first resort

I'm not afraid to bear my cross
Face the burden of betrayal
To regain what I have lost 
I have to lose my way

(x2)
Why is it never enough 
Why do you bleed my soul 
Still not satisfied
Now that you've taken all 
(x1)
Never before did I plead 
You got me on my knees 
Caught in your embrace 
Till you let go of me

Can I hide my secret intentions 
Can I deny who I am
How much longer
Can I keep on pretending
To wear the mantle of someone
That I know I’m not

(x2)
Why is it never enough 
Why do you bleed my soul 
Still not satisfied
Now that you've taken all
Never before did I plead 
You got me on my knees 
Caught in your embrace 
Till you let go of me
