Your soul tends to warp itself around things not intended for you That is no fault of your own, really It's a fault in human nature A fault written in the stars long before you were born To long for something you cannot understand Some would say it's destiny, it's fate, or whatever word they use to excuse it But it's more sinister than that It's human nature A sole longing of the flesh, of the chemicals running through your veins It's undesirable, it's ruinous and destructive It's what is described in religion as sin, and in romance as love But it's what destroys us, and makes us at the same time It's inescapable

Your soul tends to warp itself around things not intended for you That is no fault of your own, really It's a fault in human nature A fault written in the stars long before you were born To long for something you cannot understand Some would say it's destiny, it's fate, or whatever word they use to excuse it But it's more sinister than that It's human nature A sole longing of the flesh, of the chemicals running through your veins It's undesirable, it's ruinous and destructive It's what is described in religion as sin, and in romance as love But it's what destroys us, and makes us at the same time It's inescapable
