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
