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

well 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 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
