I lie to myself again and take a step away
The more that I hold it in, the more the beast escapes
Oh, the fire burns the skin
But it can cauterize the sin
I'm hoping this time it will be the end

With the curtains drawn
(I hate to say it, but you know that I like it)
And the lights turned down
(Once you say it, ain't no way to deny it)
My channel is on, but it don't matter once the urge is gone
Been out on a binge
Now you know that I've got to purge

My will is now paper thin, my mind is bound to crack
Some part of me loves the spin and wants you on my back
I keep the lighting low
If I'm discreet, they'll never know
But now and again, I move too slow

With the curtains drawn
(I hate to say it, but you know that I like it)
And the lights turned down
(Once you say it, ain't no way to deny it)
My channel is on, but it don't matter once the urge is gone
Been out on a binge
Now you know that I've got to purge

Purge me of this, please take it away
Cleanse me of this, I just need to purge all this away

With the curtains drawn
(I hate to say it, but you know that I like it)
And the lights turned down
(Once you say it, ain't no way to deny it)
Now the urge is gone, can't deny it
And I know it's wrong
But I like it
