house of lies

how can i become a man

a man of god

when in my mind i'm a man of a million lovers?

all my secrets kept deep beneath the covers

my eyes twitch and twist

oh

what a mess my portrait has become

what will i become? what will i become?

my desire for love is tainted

how am i the picture you painted?

my canvas is nothing

my colors are disgusting

it's haunting me

i'm so terrified that i won't break free

it follows me

it follows me

these earthly addictions are consuming me

corruption corrodes my true reflections

what kind of gentleman possesses these intentions

to hide these filthy afflictions?

will i ever look at a woman in pure thought again

or will i fulfill these slutty fantasies in my head?

am i imprisoned in this never ending sin?

free me from my lust

restore my innocence

sex sells!

i was born into a world of sin

sex sells!

predestined to let these voices in

it's haunting me

i'm so terrified that i won't break free

it follows me

it follows me

these earthly addictions are consuming me

it's following me to the point of breaking

my rotting soul is yours for the taking

she was my home

the house of lust kept me warm at night but

you pry open my eyes

the house of lust was a house of lies

she was my home

the house of lust kept me warm at night but

you pry open my eyes

the house of lust was a house of lies

i lost myself walking to a home that was burnt down years ago

don't let me wither away

don't let me wither away

it's haunting me

i'm so terrified that i won't break free

it follows me

it follows me

these earthly addictions are consuming me

it's following me to the point of breaking

my rotting soul is yours for the taking

what will i become?
