Affliction is a good man's shining time -Edward Young


You have no one else to run to
And nowhere else to stay
But I don't want to love you
I force myself to walk away

I sold my soul to give you pleasure
Became your willing servant twice
I think I'll seek out a new treasure
Count to three, and roll the dice

Your feelings have been shut off
My opinions locked away
And while your kiss was ever soft
Your heart was thrown out to decay

When did you lose your innocence?
Your Hope, your Truth, your Love?
How did the barriers grow so dense
Between you and God above?

I'm forced to label you a helpless case
To preserve my sanity
But it seems like such a waste
With all that still could be

Still, I don't want to love you
Through all of these sleepless nights
So it's time to try something new
Count to three, and roll the dice...
