In Vain

Feel the warmth of the flame as it burns inside
Burning high and higher, pressure starts to climb
Turning passion into sweat and Jekyll into Hyde
Glossy eyed, unsatisfied, you can't help but deny

As my love gets set aside
As my love gets set aside
Magnified by hate inside
Magnified by hate inside

Face down upon the ground
Lookin' down at her you start to frown
Thinking to yourself
"Am I insane to do the things I do to her in vain?"

Face down upon the ground
Lookin' down at her you start to frown
Thinking to yourself
"Am I insane to do the things I do to her in vain?"

Woman beater with your hands wrapped around her neck
Deranged, demented, a psycho-social wreck
Your self-denial, hatred, got to keep it in check
You rape for love and you kill for respect

I find myself all alone
The pain won't wash away
Unless you talk what she can show
It's got to be my way

And now she is gone
The blood is on my hands
No remorse, what have I done
An act of God or man?

Face down upon the ground
Lookin' down at her you start to frown
Thinking to yourself
"Am I insane to do the things I do to her in vain?"

Face down upon the ground
Lookin' down at her you start to frown
Thinking to yourself
"Am I insane to do the things I do to her in vain?"
