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
the extent of my sin
you give me the anger
you give me the nerve
carry out my sentence
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
the extent of my sin
