If you were to fulfill my desires Imagine the price you'd pay You've never felt the anguish That I've hidden inside
My pain shared unto you Drink the tears I've cried Just tell me how hard life is When you haven't bled
Tell me what you feel As a tear descends
principle of pain and pleasure actions sacred yet profane
within the temple of the flesh private rituals are ordained dignity torn, ripped to shreds innocence lost nothing remains
within blood I've split wash yourself clean reptile shed your guilt suffer unto me
no one is innocent we all have our crosses to bear
one you felt you were in a safe familiar place desire and purpose rearranged stumble over a piece of your past you wished kept locked away to isolate yourself from misery
and pain you want to isolate yourself isolate yourself from the misery and the pain
cast your pride aside and let your emotions take control it's something you want to feel so let the tears fall
sifting through remnants of what you left behind reopening scars to see what I find dignity torn, ripped to shreds innocence lost nothing remains
sifting through remnants of what you left behind dignity torn, ripped to shreds open wounds never mend.
