Lyrics

[Verse 1]
you give me the reason
you give me control
i gave you my purity
my purity you stole
[Verse 2]
did you think i wouldn't recognize this compromise?
am i just too stupid to realize?
stale incense, old sweat and lies, lies, lies
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
you give me the anger
you give me the nerve
carry out my sentence
well i get what i deserve
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
you give me the reason
you give me control
i gave you my purity
and my purity you stole
[Verse 8]
did you think i wouldn't recognize this compromise?
am i just too stupid to realize?
stale incense, old sweat and lies, lies, lies
[Verse 9]
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
