  • I toss and turn and lie awake
    It torments me, I must know why
    It just seems too easy
    What is beyond that door?
    As I take a step back I wonder could I go on and turn the key?

    Look away! Turn away!
    I should remember nothing is what it seems
    For once in my life I will resist temptation has
    Come alive again!
    When all is said and done I may not be able to move on
    If I don't know what lies beyond
    Desire is now the one in control
    Am I strong enough to not ever know what I'd find?
    Should I press on?

    I can almost hear anguished cries as they suffer
    Welcome to the bodies!
    I should run
    I should run but I just can't see to move

    Look away! Turn away!
    I should remember nothing is what it seems
    For once in my life I will resist temptation has
    Come alive again!
    When all is said and done I may not be able to move on
    If I don't know what lies beyond
    Desire is now the one in control
    Am I strong enough to not ever know just what I'd find?
    What sinful trance awaits me as the key turns?

    Now it is done the key has been turned
    All that is left is my embrace
    Her trembling is driving me wild!
    Her shrieks are so intoxicating!
    Eyes filled with tears will strain to see
    Welcome home! I am your prison! Writer/s: DENNIS LEE, JEREMY BRYAN, PATRICK M. THOMPSON, PATRICK THOMPSON, SHAWN MILKE
