Wrath of Temptation
My damn mind is drifting away
Trying to retain knowledge but it won’t stay
Need to walk thru my past and pick up the pieces
And try to fix those shattered dreams of my forgotten life
Hiding these emotions in the handle of this knife
And forcing myself to fix my broken emotions
Looking at all the collected tokens
The tokens from my accomplishments
And my many achievements
To see where I went wrong
Asking myself why I’m so headstrong
Looking in the mirror what do I see
My life and my libido consuming me
Too late to pick a new path
Because too many people tempted my wrath
People pushed me too far
Just so they could discover who they are
Pushed me once
Pushed me twice
Pushed me three times
Tell em to read between the lines
When people harass you what do you do
You show them who is boss and make them see you
Follow there actions and soon you will discover
That there once was cowards making them ponder
Leading them to follow there stupidity
They found a new path of unanimity
Looking in the mirror what do I see
My life and my libido consuming me
Too late to pick a new path
Because too many people tempted my wrath
People pushed me too far
Just so they could discover who they are
Follow your own advice and you will learn
That roads to enlightenment had very sharp turn
But soon they will straighten out and fork off
Then the difficult part proves its troth
Looking in the mirror what do I see
My life and my libido consuming me
Too late to pick a new path
Because too many people tempted my wrath
People pushed me too far
Just so they could discover who they are
