It's still getting worse after everything I've tried What if I found a way to wash it all aside? What if she touches with those fingertips As the words spill out like fire from her lips? If she says, "Come inside," I'll come inside for her If she says, "Give it all," I'll give everything to her I am justified I am purified I am sanctified Inside you Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell ( Parts of hell ) I still dream of lips I never should have kissed Well, she knows exactly what I can't resist And if she says, "Come inside," I'll come inside for her And if she says, "Give it all," I'll give everything to her I am justified I am purified I am sanctified Inside you ( Dear mom and dad This is the hardest letter I've ever had to write I'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about it But that just isn't possible now I don't know what's gonna happen, but what can I say to you? Will "I'm sorry" make a difference? Will it ease the pain? The shame you must be feeling, forgive me, please ) I'm just caught up in another of her spells Well, she's turning me into someone else Every day I hope and pray that this will end But when I can, I do it all again And if she says, "Come inside," I'll come inside for her And if she says, "Give it all," I'll give everything to her I am justified I am purified I am sanctified Inside you I am justified I am purified I am sanctified Inside you As surely as the blade's course is run Maybe my kingdom's finally come

I still recall the taste of your tears Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore Scraping through my head 'til I don't wanna sleep anymore You make this all go away You make this all go away I'm down to just one thing And I'm starting to scare myself You make this all go away You make this all go away I just want something I just want something I can never have You always were the one to show me how Back then, I couldn't do the things that I can do now This thing is slowly taking me apart Grey would be the color if I had a heart Come on and tell me You make this all go away You make this all go away I'm down to just one thing And I'm starting to scare myself You make this all go away You make this all go away I just want something I just want something I can never have In this place it seems like such a shame Though it all looks different now, I know it's still the same Everywhere I look, you're all I see Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be Come on and tell me You make this all go away You make this all go away I'm down to just one thing And I'm starting to scare myself You make this all go away You make it all go away I just want something I just want something I can never have I just want something I can never have Think I know what you meant, that night on my bed, still picking at this scab, I wish you were dead, your sweat and Perry Ellis, just stains on my sheets

I can't shake this feeling from my head There's a devil sleeping in my bed He's watching you from across the way I cannot make this feeling go away I know it's not the right thing And I know it's not the good thing But kinda I want to Kinda I want to I'm not sure of what I should do When every thought I'm thinking of is you All of my excuses turn to lies Well, maybe God will cover up his eyes And I know it's not the right thing And I know it's not the good thing But kinda I want to Kinda I want to Kinda I want to Kinda I want to Kinda I want to, maybe just for tonight We can pretend it's alright What's the price I pay? I don't care what they say I want to! I want to! I want to! I want to! I want to! I want to! I want to! I want to! I'll take my chance tonight

You give me the reason You give me control I gave you my purity My purity you stole Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise? Am I just too stupid to realize? Stale incense, old sweat And lies, lies, lies It comes down to this Your kiss, your fist And your strain, it gets under my skin Within, take in The extent of my sin You give me the anger You give me the nerve Carry out my sentence While I get what I deserve I'm just an effigy to be disgraced, to be defaced Your need for me has been replaced But if I can't have everything Well, then, just give me a taste It comes down to this Your kiss, your fist And your strain, it gets under my skin Within, take in The extent of my sin You give me the reason You give me control I gave you my purity And my purity you stole Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise? Am I just too stupid to realize? Stale incense, old sweat And lies, lies, lies It comes down to this Your kiss, your fist And your strain, it gets under my skin Within, take in Well, my sin, it comes down to this Your kiss, your fist And your strain, it gets under my skin Within, take in The extent of my sin Oh

Just when everything was making sense You took away all my self-confidence Now all that I've been hearing must be true I guess I'm not the only boy for you But that's what I get That's what I get That's what I get That's what I get How can you turn me into this? After you just taught me how to kiss you? I told you I'd never say goodbye Now I'm slipping on the tears you've made me cry But that's what I get That's what I get That's what I get That's what I get Why does it come as a surprise? To think that I was so naïve Maybe didn't mean that much But it meant everything to me That's what I get! That's what I get! That's what I get! That's what I get, that's what I get That's what I get! That's what I get! That's what I get! That's what I get, that's what I get That's what I get

Well, you've got me workin' so hard lately Workin' my hands until they bleed If I was twice the man I could be I'd still be half of what you need Still you lead me and I follow Anything you ask, you know I'll do This one act of consecration Is what I ask of you (Ringfinger) Promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea (Ringfinger) Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me Well, you just leave me nailed here Hanging like Jesus on this cross I'm just dying for your sins And aiding to the cause (Ringfinger) Promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea (Ringfinger) Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me Wrap my eyes in bandages Confessions I see through I get everything I want When I get part of you (Ringfinger) Promise carved in stone Is deeper than the sea (Ringfinger) Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me! (Ringfinger) A promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea (Ringfinger) Devil's flesh and bone Do something for me (Ringfinger) Aaaaah, c'mon, c'mon! I'm so tired I can't get to sleep And the squeaking of the bed is right in time with the song that's repeating in my head I just want you to know "When I do it, I only think of you"
