It's hard to admit I'm wrong sometimes

But even harder to admit I'm right

Compromise as the sun rises and falls

Just trying to avoid the fight

Thinking I'm upholding my purpose from God

While my soul and spirit fall apart

I smile and play along with everything

As I lie to my own heart



The things I think Satan wants torn apart

Maybe it's him holding them together

His hand not behind the malfunctions

But the tensions that ensue with others

It's all a game I play along with

Close your eyes and bow your head

I get home and I ponder my lies

And I know that I am dead



Each Christian life in the balance

More important than any charade

Who's purpose only delays the inevitable

And ultimately sends it into the flames

With foundation in place I must stand

The compromise must end

Or God will walk me through the ashes

Of my noble accomplishments
