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 get's 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 And 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 get's 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 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 get's under my skin Within Take in well my sin It comes down to this Your kiss Your fist And your strain It get's under my skin Within Take in the extent of my sin
