How Long Can I Resist

[Rape II - The Assailant]

They never see me coming

I know their every step

I am the perfect hunter

They'll fall into my trap

You're stronger than temptation

You're a better man than that

A game we both are playing

She doesn't know she's in

I count the times she passes by

Sitting, waiting, getting closer

Can almost feel her skin

Will I make her mine

How long can I resist

No escaping this

You'll never control

The desire that's in me

It's burning my soul

It's a fire of envy

Don't do anything

That you might soon regret

'Cause the mirror must still show

A man you can respect

A girl's just a pawn

A means to an end

I don't dare approach

Never find a lover -

Always find a friend

The answer still is no

The other day she talked to you

No means no - you don't have to

It's not a want, I have a need

And I can feel it rise

Past the point of no return

Then it dies

Please help me

It's taking control of me

I can't hold back much longer

I must set it free

How come this life's a bitch

Why can't this break be fixed

They always persist

Though the thoughts are appealing

I cannot resist them

The siren is calling

Beautiful - I can't escape the pull

Unapproachable - I never get too close

Horrible - the images I keep

Cinema - of filth inside of me

Undeniable - my insecurities

Chain these hands

Before they burn out her light

Make it impossible

For her to face her life

You're stronger than temptation

Please don't lose respect

Up to my neck

Sinking in this quick sand

Begging please hear

This last call

From this desperate man

The girl's just a pawn

A means to an end

And I don't dare approach
