[Verse 1]

You give me the reason

You give me control

I gave you my purity

My purity you stole


[Pre-Chorus]

Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise?

Am I just too stupid to realize?

Stale incense, old sweat

And lies, lies, lies


[Chorus]

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 2]

You give me the anger

You give me the nerve

Carry out my sentence

While I get what I deserve


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm just an effigy to be disgraced, to be defaced

Your need for me has been replaced

But if I can't have everything

Well, then, just give me a taste


[Chorus]

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 1]

You give me the reason

You give me control

I gave you my purity

And my purity you stole


[Pre-Chorus]

Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise?

Am I just too stupid to realize?

Stale incense, old sweat

And lies, lies, lies


[Chorus]

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


[Outro]

Oh
