This is all tempting
Every bit of this advantage that i've just taken
It's mine it's all mine
See she has no idea what i'll become
And no memory of the past
And she has no idea what i've accomplished
So she's selfish
With the sick sense of humour
I guess my coattails have been the driver seat
For one too many not my faults and disasters
It's complicated but lately what isnt
See demands we have as organisms
Is far more needy than anything else here
And she just walked on by
She didn't even accept my stare
I guess my eye colour must have bored her
It's tempting
To finish my thoughts and take action
And claim indepence for me and my brothers of commitment and monogymous soilders
See, we see things that the bachelor misses
Every movement every step is monitored
With tempers that are fueled with estrogen
And nothing will hurt our posessions our excuses our prizes
Theres no more blurry boundaries because our experimentation has a stopping point
And every poem starts with love and ends with no one else
Its tempting
Sliding on book indexes looking for that chapter of resolution
Looking for that perfect frame that can contain these images of us
Well see frames can't be trusted they just do what they're told
And for everyone else they see nothing wrong with that
But in my opinionis that we've gone far beyond being alone
It's mindbending it's thought provoking
And its education its words included in my diatribe towards research
But i'm asking questions that i don't think i can handle the answers to
So the curiousity should just run my mouth speechless for god's sakes
It's tempting
It's humour and its humility
And the game is simple
So bring your pieces and we can set up any where
And roll first to see who gets to make the first decision
And you win so i'll hide my temper
And next i roll i win
So uh pour your alcohol down the sink
Well you get two in a row
So the sarcasm and dissecting are gone for good
But my turn comes back around
My reward for my luck is i get to take back one mistake
Well you know what instead i'm going twist the rules
And i'm gonna forget one of yours
Because yours seem to hurt 100 times worse than mine ever did
Its temptation
Its an offspring of pride that makes me never wrong
See i can use the same words to feel familiar and at home conceptually
And the fight starts here
Blame and guilt
Uppercuts with the jab, the power trip
Well im that gaurdian angel you requested in your echoing mind so long ago
So let me do my job pause for a brief life time and tell me who you are
Our conversations now are just lectures
Debates with no topic or end
And the point of separation can be pursued by either party
See now threats are forgotten because i hold the keys
And i asked you who you are
The person i knew was gone or maybe i just didn't notice the change in myself
Thats temptation
To walk away from the greatest bond
Or the most foolish secret that i've ever kept
Seems to be too honest to say outloud
With crushed eyes and tears that carry traces
That special look we use to only give eachother
Well you represent the continuance of paradise for me
But will the walls crumble?
The ceiling should be kissed by us and god
For good luck cause i'm living in you
Condensing everything i've seen in our nightly talks
I'm growing and my hands have grown acustom to holding on to your dear life
So do i provide the protection from the truth for ever
Or does it end at the entrance of heaven
We keep our eyes shut
And let the world we leaving behind with no remorse look at us
It's temptation
To just remain the singular person i was as i came into this world
By myself
Responsible for me
Holding no ones hand
Watching no ones feelings
Hurting only myself
Being unaccountable to constant company
Sticking to an agenda of self improvement
With no eyes over my shoulder
No scarred fist
From a seductress of selfish anguish
Experience would have no twisted faces
And my concious would be clean
The slate would be gone
And all the writing and sarcastic statements
Would get blissful rearrangement
And id be holding the torch alone
God it's so tempting to walk away from everyday
But right now i'm here
And the will power will keep me here sane
It's temptation
Whispers
Its not just temptationx2
I can see you standing there what are you thinking about
(shes so beautiful standing there shes so beautiful standing there)
I can see you standing there what are you thinking about
(shes so beautiful standing there shes so beautiful standing there)
I can see you standing there what are you thinking about
(shes so beautiful standing there shes so beautiful standing there)
I can see you standing there what are you thinking about
(shes so beautiful standing there shes so beautiful standing there)
I can see you standing there what are you thinking about
(shes so beautiful standing there shes so beautiful standing there)
Now catching eyes with a stranger
Asking my world to touch yours
I'm involved in more than want
Its a feeling on it's own
And i know that she sees me
Because my starings been too obvious
And there is no chance for pain when you choose to be anonnymous
Well what if the bus missed my spot
Stranding me on the street
Well i just set up camp right here
And then rest my tired feet
They've been running from my daily scheme
Relationship to nothing
Thrust into danger
And grudges to guardians
But i can hardly make an arguement
From a gaze in your direction
Well its all respect to my eyes
And i just lost my sensation
My morals are too primitive
My pick up lines are prehistoric
And i find refuge in a sense of human
But i'm defined by being flamboyant
Wishing i'd be the most convincing when i've yet to make noise
So while i'm running through the basics
That would give my back my pois
Your status could be taken
Its off limits for my advances
But before i play the fool
I'll evaluate my chances
You smiled
Dont matter whether permanent or relevant
It still happened
And it's like a million hands inside of me just started clapping
So i'm paralyzed by what-ifs
Kissed with invisible lips
Straining strength from my body
Making it hard to resist
Cause i am not a cheating man
But fate is calling me a liar
My heart is beating so fast it could set my chest on fire
Shes naturally beautiful with barely any make up on
And a walk thats so damn confident she has no need for volume
The most amazing body thats been purposely concealed
Waiting for that perfect moment just so it can be revealed
Shes inresistable from a distance
But introductions prove deadly
And im not even trying to prove my theory as to why girls dont sweat me
So do i make that motion or gesture that todays her day
Do i move one step closer or run 10 miles away
Cause i'm against broken homes
And i will never be responsible
For tearing down someone's comfort zone
So i can be selfish
But she's enticing to say the least
Im getting more cliche by the minute
And shes the rope i need to reach
To keep from hanging over my punishment
Swinging off the street corner
Letting go above the perfect spot
Well i will make the largest splash
Pushing all the fault lines
To cause a split between whatever keeps her occupied
I will keep her safe from strangers
And make the lovers justify
But dont let me fool you
My experience is still very limited
Cause my worlds a small town
And adm is nothing but a derivitive
Of everything around me
She stops and put her hair back up
Walking right by me my big mouth stays shut
Damn
If she could read minds
She would have found a man
Making arrangements for her worshipping
And taking care of plans
But it wouldn't work anyways
Cause i'm to cautious to play her game
And as the bus pulls up i know i'll never be the same
Cause the world has plans for me
And that was my first invitation
My entrance to the power
But the one and only
The only and one
(temptation)
