[Verse 1]
Waiting, praying
For that peaceful life, that perfect view
No use in running, no point in fighting
They captured you before you knew

[Chorus]
But stop complaining
Isn't this what you've been asking for?
You're suffocating
But isn't this what you've been begging for?

[Post-Chorus]
When you sold yourself for the world
(Will it ever be enough?)

[Verse 2]
Will it ever be enough?
Tell me, is there anything really good enough for you?
They live only to abuse any pain that you've gone through
Bleed you dry and then discard you

[Chorus]
But stop complaining
Isn't this what you've been asking for?
You're suffocating
But isn't this what you've been begging for?
[Bridge]
Open your eyes, see what's happening
Now close your eyes, breathe deep in rhythm
Take a look inside (Take a look inside)
Where the voice within resides
The one that makes you feel alive
When you free your mind, your soul will thrive
(Oh, woah oh, ooh)

[Chorus]
You're suffocating
But isn't this what you've been begging for?
So stop complaining
Ooh, woo ooh

[Outro]
When you sell yourself for the world
When you sell yourself for the world
