These demons,
These tyrants,
These creatures within
Please, please let go
I mustn't let you in
Don't you see I am my own best friend?
Dare you try to follow or make amends!
...But what if just this time?
    But wouldn't it be fun?
    To feel all the pleasures
    To bathe in my sun
    To frolic in arousal
    Take pleasure in sin
    You know you love to hate me
    Said the creatures within
    Now please, please let me in!
OK, i scream!
This time you win

A sharp, piercing roar
An intolerable grin
A desperate surrender to these creatures within
Why oh why did I let you in?
But then you grab my hand and shucks, that smile
I suppose I'll stay for a little while
The clock hand stops as you pull me in
Ecstasy now invading my veins within
A sudden fulfillment of original sin
Now left a subject of yet heavier chagrin
OK, this time you win!
...But tomorrow, it can't happen again
