Restrain

I feel your passion
I feel your sting
running through my veins
I know I should run
but fine no restraint

What is this temptation
I know it's damnation
but I can't  help myself
I know I should run
but feel so overcome

If I give in I know I will drown
but I can't seem to hold myself down
Why can't I tear myself away
as you rip apart my soul
and then throw it away

Your grasp is so strong
I feel I can't go on
Til I let you destroy me
I know you'll just toss me aside
without any place to abide

Why must you tear me apart
and play these games with my heart
I wish I could find another place to dwell
cuz this is a living hell
Oh how I wish I had another place to dwell

In the meantime I let your calous heart
continue to tear me apart
I wish I could empty all my veins
to get rid of all this pain
If only I could restrain....If only I could restrain
