Pleasures of the Flesh Lyrics

I feel this wave that is carrying me 

And i'm unable to stop 

I stand outside of my body 

But it continues to walk 

Love me and touch me 

Your body my feast 

Torn between two sides of my nature 

Half god and half beast 

This hunger in my flesh my instinct says it knows what's best 

And when the animal takes hold feel forces outside my control 

And then my mind starts to work out 

What's going on 

While the knot in my stomach 

Is telling me something's wrong 

Yes it's all the pain that i'm feeling 

And the guilt that i hide 

Yes it's all the hurt that i caused you 

And all the tears that i've cried 

This hunger in my flesh my instinct says it knows what's best 

This craving comes and all i want is more - just a little bit more 

To be shameless is blameless if we be what we are 

If freedom is what i suspect 

Then tomorrow will jar against your conditioning 

This hunger in my flesh my instinct says it knows what's best 

But when the animal takes hold feel forces outside my control
