Lyrics

Holding on, you seek to resist its every whim. You ask for forgiveness and yet you lie to him. Born from the fruit, to a game that you can't win. You try to hide from choosing deadly sin. Why can’t I choose just to hold you? With every breath I fall away from the truth. Why can’t I choose not to hurt you? With every breath I ignore all virtue. Every grimace you see makes you want to lash about. You know that it’s not you, it’s not what you’re about. Were you born damned for now, or were you born saved? Perhaps the answer lies in a life that’s so depraved. Why can’t I choose just to hold you? With every breath I fall away from the truth. Why can’t I choose not to hurt you? With every breath I ignore all virtue. Be it envy, anger or pride, greed or despair. You try to do it right, but the feeling's just aren’t there. With virtue you suffer and with vice you play the game. You feel your life turned upside down while you go insane. Why can’t I choose just to hold you? With every breath I fall away from the truth. Why can’t I choose not to hurt you? With every breath I ignore all virtue.
