The Temptation Of Pain

Condemn me to the cage of my own design

Rope and chains form uneasy frames

Drink from the chalice of blood

It's the lust that you'll taste

Set aside all the love

All that makes you feel safe

And give your life to the hurt

Give your life to the temptation of pain

The temptation of pain

Warmth is sinking away from you

All that you'll find here is cold and chills

Seeking respect or small validation

Home is the heart, but your heart is numb

Sink in depression cure it with sex and

Fall back down the cycle but

Savor the fall

Motherfucker

Was it enough to be right, or was it all just a farce?

Look in their eyes to see their worship then just tear them apart

Show your prowess, don't go soft on me now you're all they want

But when sweat and sex is over tell me have they

Satisfied your fucking heart

Infatuated with the hurt left in your wake

Once more you'll submit to the temptation of pain
