"House Of Lies" lyrics

"House Of Lies"

How can I become a man
A man of God
When in my mind I'm a man of a million lovers?
All my secrets kept deep beneath the covers

My eyes twitch and twist
Oh, what a mess my portrait has become
What will I become? What will I become?

My desire for love is tainted
How am I the picture you painted?
My canvas is nothing
My colors are disgusting

It's haunting me
I'm so terrified that I won't break free
It follows me, it follows me
These earthly addictions are consuming me

Corruption corrodes my true reflections
What kind of gentleman possesses these intentions
To hide these filthy afflictions?

Will I ever look at a woman in pure thought again
Or will I fulfill these slutty fantasies in my head?
Am I imprisoned in this never ending sin?

Free me from my lust
Restore my innocence
Sex sells!
I was born into a world of sin
Sex sells!
Predestined to let these voices in

It's haunting me
I'm so terrified that I won't break free
It follows me, it follows me
These earthly addictions are consuming me
It's following me to the point of breaking
My rotting soul is Yours for the taking

She was my home
The house of lust kept me warm at night but
You pry open my eyes
The house of lust was a house of lies

She was my home
The house of lust kept me warm at night but
You pry open my eyes
The house of lust was a house of lies

I lost myself walking to a home that was burnt down years ago
Don't let me wither away
Don't let me wither away

It's haunting me
I'm so terrified that I won't break free
It follows me, it follows me
These earthly addictions are consuming me
It's following me to the point of breaking
My rotting soul is Yours for the taking

What will I become?
