Temptations
Running through my body
Like fire through gasoline
Seeing how long I can last
Before I light up like kerosene
Temptations all around me
Especially from one like you
And even though I don't want it to be
My control keeps, through and through
Testing myself every damn day
To see if I can resist it all
Hoping I don't have to pay
The price if I do happen to fall
Building up walls to stop myself
Hoping I don't give up and jump them
Digging nails into my palms for the pain
Just a release from what I avoid
Facing a fear is the only way to make it go away
Facing a temptation is a test of your strength
Facing a fear is to stop being afraid
Facing a temptation is a challenge
Temptations are all around me
No matter what I may do
My control keeps me from screwing up
Especially with one like you
Day in and day out I am faced with these
And always the same reason, I can't let it go
Knowing if I give in, I must pay the fees
Knowing if I give in, someone will be my foe
Small and innocent is just fine
But when you want it all, the power is mine
The control is meant to be kept
And higher control comes after I've slept
No matter what happens, I want it all
It's like heroin, you don't want to stop
No matter what happens, someone will fall
Building up those walls, so I was able to hop
For once, the walls are strong
The temptation isn't all that bad
Overcoming it will be a long stretch
But the more I test myself and succeed
I know I'm stronger then before
Like fire through gasoline
Seeing how long I can last
Before I light up like kerosene
Temptations all around me
Especially from one like you
And even though I don't want it to be
My control keeps, through and through
Testing myself every damn day
To see if I can resist it all
Hoping I don't have to pay
The price if I do happen to fall
Building up walls to stop myself
Hoping I don't give up and jump them
Digging nails into my palms for the pain
Just a release from what I avoid
Facing a fear is the only way to make it go away
Facing a temptation is a test of your strength
Facing a fear is to stop being afraid
Facing a temptation is a challenge
Temptations are all around me
No matter what I may do
My control keeps me from screwing up
Especially with one like you
Day in and day out I am faced with these
And always the same reason, I can't let it go
Knowing if I give in, I must pay the fees
Knowing if I give in, someone will be my foe
