Temptation

You want it, you need it
But can you really feel it
Subconsciously dreaming
The voice inside consoles me
Once lost in a vision
So hard to ignore
Well each day that passed me by
Made me want it even more
With temptation sinking in
I’ll plead for you to hear
That if you try to pull away
Then you’d be running from your fears
And why does it seem like
These walls are closing in
And every time we start over
It keeps slipping from my hand
And here we are getting closer, closer again
Now these serrated edges
Become paper thin
The will that impels you
Will be the greatest fear you tame
Defend it a dreamer
The art of losing can end here
With temptation sinking in
And I’ll plead for you to hear
And why does it seem like
These walls are closing in
And every time we start over
It keeps slipping from my hand
And here we are getting closer, closer again
Now these serrated edges
Become paper thin
And why does it seem like
These walls are closing in
And every time we start over
It keeps slipping from my hand
And here we are getting closer, closer again
Now these serrated edges
Become paper thin
And I’ll try, I’ll try
To leave everything behind
It’s at my fingertips
And I’m so close
Why can’t you be mine?
