The Cycle
Breaking the Chains: Unraveling the Cycle of Temptation
Lyrics
I wish I would have learned
I regret not learning
Once you cross the line
Once a moral boundary is crossed
It starts to blur
Things become unclear
And even though I know it's wrong
Despite awareness of its wrongness
Still I'm falling for the lie
Still, I am deceived and drawn in
I've been here before
I've experienced this situation before
So what's the harm
So, what harm could one more instance cause
Of one last time
Considering it might be the last time
It goes around and around again
A repetitive cycle persists
I need an honest friend to call me out
Seeking an honest friend to confront me
To call me out and bring the cycle to an end
Requesting intervention to end the pattern
Bring the cycle to an end
Desiring closure for the recurring cycle
I wish I would have known
Regretting not realizing earlier
Once you blur the line
After blurring the ethical line
There's no telling where you'll go, no
Uncertainty about the consequences
Even though I know it's wrong
Despite awareness of wrongdoing
I need this now to get me by
Current need for this behavior to cope
It's my comfort it's my right
It provides comfort and feels justified
So what's the harm
Considering the harm of one more occurrence
Of one more time
One more time may not matter
It goes around and around again
The cycle repeats
I need an honest friend to call me out
Seeking a truthful friend for intervention
To call me out and bring the cycle to an end
Calling for an end to the recurring cycle
Bring the cycle to an end
Yearning to break free from the cycle
Down on my knees it's plain to see
In a vulnerable state, recognizing the truth
I'm not the best at knowing what is best for me
Difficulty in making optimal decisions
Stuck in the cycle of sin and regret
Trapped in a repetitive pattern of sin and remorse
Circles of wanting but going to the wrong place to get
Seeking fulfillment in the wrong places
But we were never meant to break it on our own
Recognizing the need for external help
Trying to make it all alone has left me faking
Attempting to navigate alone leads to deception
Like I know the way to shake this so
Admitting uncertainty in finding a solution
I'm asking for help
Requesting assistance from others
Cause every time I try to save myself
Self-rescue attempts have been futile
It goes around and around again
The cycle persists
I need an honest friend, to call me out
Seeking an honest friend for guidance
To call me out and bring the cycle to an end
Asking for intervention to end the cycle
Bring the cycle to an end
Desiring closure for the recurring cycle
Bring the cycle to an end
Yearning for an ultimate end to the cycle
Bring the cycle to an end
Seeking a definitive resolution to the cycle
