Living's so close to loving
I is the problem
O the solution
Join in circles
Not easily broken
Only when open
My I is paper thinLoving
You call it sinning
You stoned the women
It's tradition in tribe
Judging
From where I'm sitting
You're greenly jealous
And as lonely as an IA bitter virtue
I'd rather live in sin
There's pleasure in your suffering
(Y'all say so)
A bitter virtue
I'd rather live in sin
How can you sit on everything
Y'all say soSuppress your love
Suppress desire
Compress a life
Till life expires
Hold your breath
In pinched denial
ComplexityLive in awe
Love your life
It's yours to live
Regret forgive
Make more mistakes
Regret forgive
Accept everythingA bitter virtue
I'd rather live in sin
There's pleasure in your suffering
(Y'all say so)
A bitter virtue
I'd rather live in sin
How can you sit on everything
Y'all say soSerpents
Not all in Eden
Not all have poison
Tree of knowledge bitten
Heaven
No place for artists
Fucked up and human
We're not getting inA bitter virtue
I'd rather live in sin
There's pleasure in your suffering
(Y'all say so)
A bitter virtue
I'd rather live in sin
How can you sit on everything
Y'all say so
