Life bears down
Grabs you by the horns
Takes you head on
It never surrenders
And never relents
All life ever does
Is push you
And so builds
The pressure
Powerful
Insurmountable
You seek only release
But wait
Aren't you master
Of these affairs?
Didn't you drive
These needs out?
After all
Your release is obvious
Aren't there tally marks
Of the flesh
To mark
Every time you gave in
Until finally the desire
Nay even need
Becomes unbearable
Crimson shall be yours
For the low low price
Of weakness
And so finally
At the end of the week
Your tally
Comes out high again

Life bears down
Grabs you by the horns
Takes you head on
It never surrenders
And never relents
All life ever does
Is push you
And so builds

But wait
Aren't you master
Of these affairs?
Didn't you drive
These needs out?
After all

Aren't there tally marks

Every time you gave in
Until finally the desire
Nay even need
Becomes unbearable
Crimson shall be yours
For the low low price
Of weakness
And so finally
At the end of the week
Your tally
Comes out high again
