The Dark -- Make Their Jaws Drop

Darkness surrounds me, obsesses me now.
I face the devastating power, feeling my strength draining.
I can smell the evil, as my insides roar a warning shot,
But lust for the dark has taken control.

How quickly our resolve can drain away.
Only hours ago I gathered with a congregation 
And pledged to flee from this sexy evil I now caress and
Dream of stripping to its most depraved form.

Why is it the dark that so attracts me?
Forces me to break all vows, regret it immediately?
My soul's weary from battles to overcome my destiny.
Damn Weight Watchers!!! I'm eating chocolate!!!
