temptation
Trik Turner Lyrics

How can you stare into my face-
Asking how it is possible to maintain eye contact despite the betrayal that has occurred with the trust that was placed in you.

Knowing what you've done with my trust you've misplaced-
Acknowledgement of betrayal and deception with the trust placed in the person.

With your selfish needs you appease-
Accusing the person of self-serving actions that only appease themselves.

It brings you down to your knees-
Pointing out that this behavior will eventually lead to them suffering the consequences of their actions.

Begging please forgive for my sins-
The person then begs for forgiveness for their wrongdoing.

Turn around and do it again-
Despite expressing remorse, the person continues to engage in the same harmful behavior.

How many times will it take-
Asking how many more times they will repeat the detrimental cycle.

How many promises will I break-
Acknowledging that promises made in the past have been broken.

Why is it so bad to only want what you can't have-
Questioning why there is such a strong desire for the forbidden, despite the negative consequences.

It makes me feel whole and complete-
Continuing to describe the sense of fulfillment and completion that comes with the temptation.

You get that feeling like your being lifted off your feet-
Describing the feeling of euphoria that comes with giving into temptation.

You forget about everything that was mentioned in the past-
Despite acknowledging the past negative occurrences, the feeling of temptation can make them momentarily forget and lose sight of what is important.

And the important things with meanings erase fast-
Elaborating on the quick loss of sight regarding the importance of things in the face of temptation.

Here I go again will it ever end I can't quit-
Admitting that despite the negative consequences, they feel powerless in the face of temptation.

Temptation is the drug and I'm the addict-
Describing how temptation is an addiction that they feel trapped in.

Everyday I have to fight with these urges that feel so right-
Expressing the struggle and conflict that comes with resisting temptation.

Just one more time no one has to know-
The temptation to give in just one more time, even if the action is a secret.

The devil controls my soul-
Acknowledging that the temptation feels like an outside force that is controlling them.

I'll risk everything, temptation gets the best of me it gets the best of you-
Describing how the temptation is so strong that they will risk everything, and others also fall prey to it.

Everything, two paths, two roads, only one to choose-
Describing how each choice is a fork in the road, with only one being the correct path.

This is an ode to my enemies livin' that Hundred and three degrees black seas and Brown trees, there's a dust devil blowin' not Knowin' if were gonna survive so keep the faith Alive,
