i can resist
everything
except
temptation
my body breaks
i'm intact inside
my human instinct
i can love unconditionally

cross my heart and lie to you
(my conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair)
failure within me
promise you and let you down
(emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself)
brings me to my knees
follow me, lead you astray
(nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail)
loathe myself to sleep
your words kill me

you can breathe without
oxygen
and live
without sorrow
how i envy you
though pity your ghost
ignorance is bliss
i wish i could never love you

cross my heart and lie to you
(my conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair)
failure within me
promise you and let you down
(emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself)
brings me to my knees
follow me, lead you astray
(nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail)
loathe myself to sleep
your words kill me

so ironic that a heart made by man,
when broken is easily fixed
but a human hurt can last a lifetime
rust or decay
the fire or the flame
you and i will lead the path to change
pave the way
