Temptation-
Why won't you leave me alone?
Lurking every corner, everywhere I go

Self Control-
Don't turn your back on me now
When I need you the most

Constant pressure tests my will
My will or my won't
My Self Control escapes from me still...

Hypocrite-
How could you be so cruel
and expect my faith in return?

Resistance-
Is not as hard as it seems
When you close the door

I spent so long trusting in you
I trust you forgot
Just when I thought I believed in you...

"What are you doing?
What are you doing?"

It's time for me to deal
Becoming all too real
living in fear

"That I haven't behaved as I should"

"Everything you need is around you.
The only danger is inside you."

"I thought you could control life,
but it's not like that. There are
things you can't control."

Let's stare the problem right in the eye
It's plagued me from coast to coast
Racing the clock to please everyone
All but the one who matters the most

It's time for me to deal
Becoming all too real
living in fear-

Lying until the end
Living life so pretend
