Lyrics

I look when I should look away

I struggle to divert my gaze when I should avoid looking.

Addictions feed from a glance

Addictions thrive on a mere look or glance.

A glance of temptation is all it takes

A momentary glance of temptation has significant consequences.

All it takes all it takes to lust

The act of lusting requires only that fleeting moment.

No one there no one there to trust

There is no one trustworthy around, no reliable support.

Knowing this but I look anyway

Despite being aware of the consequences, I choose to look anyway.

And now I say I should've looked away

Now, I regret not averting my gaze.


9 times outta 10 I try to end

Most of the time (9 out of 10 times), I attempt to put an end to this struggle.

This neverending battle I'm failing I'm falling into sin

I am engaged in an ongoing and seemingly never-ending battle, and I am failing, succumbing to sin.

And my eyes I cannot trust

I cannot trust my own eyes in resisting the temptation of lust.

To fight the lust

We must use our vision to fight against lust and see our flaws clearly.

We must to see clearly what's wrong with us

Reflecting on the reasons for our emotional pain and tears.

Why do we cry why do we cry?

Questioning the reasons behind our tears.

We're living and we don't want to die that's right I

We are alive, and the desire is to continue living rather than succumb to despair.

I'll take a stand and end this all abrupt

I decide to take a stand and put an abrupt end to this struggle.

Put an end to this 'fore my world goes corrupt

Ending the internal conflict before it corrupts my world.


You don't own me!

Asserting independence and rejecting control or ownership by external influences.

Take away all these feelings I feel inside

Expressing a desire to eliminate the intense emotions within.

You don't own me!

Reiterating a sense of independence and resistance to external influence or control.
