Thoughts of torture play out in my head

A violent fetish grows in my mind

In my dreams you kiss me, you love me, you use me, you kill me

This is punishment, this is judgement, self mutilation

I'll wear the scars, cut them open so you never feel far

I'm not a good man, it's the least of my desires

If I claimed inherent goodness, I would be a liar

Sadistic libertine is what I want to be

Disguise myself in halfhearted morality

Want to sin, want to kill, anything to feel fulfilled

I'll own it, I control it, this pain is needed and I know it

Smiling on the rack, i'm the tortures pet

Love is a memory, love is a fantasy, was not meant for me

My temple is my tomb, pleasure in these wounds

I'm in error in the contingent chain, sentence me to everlasting pain
