Lyrics for Sin

You give me the reason, you give me control I gave you my purity, 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, will 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, 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
