Temptation Come My Way

I'm torn

And ripped in temptations wake

I've lived

Half a life I'm desires slave

Of love

And of lust and of life he speaks

In thrall

I'm the victim until it sleeps

I'm bound

To this medusa blind or stone

I'm held

At the mercy of the unknown

Can't shake

The black hearted, still I roam

Can't change

How it started, the beast comes home

You choke like smoke

And define like a stain

You reign and the flood

Washes all but my name away

Temptation come my way

Temptation take the day

Hey hey

This is the lid to my coffin case

You lay

Six feet of deep just to separate

Pine tar

And pitch and a rusted hinge

What's left

Of a life that temptation spent

Hey hey

You are the storm and the sun will drown

I love

To love the way that you let me down

And if

I ever strut bring me right back down

Remind

Me today that temptation's still in town

You choke like smoke

And define like a stain

You reign and the flood

Washes all but my name away

Temptation come my way

Temptation take the day

Watch this

You choke like smoke

And define like a stain

You reign and the flood

Washes all but my name away

Temptation come my way

Temptation take the day
