"Backslide" Lyrics

My conscience is beginning to pretend
The self-destruction's coming to an end
I'd stop the words before they leave my mouth
But the reset button's all worn out

The temptation's clear as the ringing in my ears
I backslide
Taking the dive
One last time

I backslide
My sobered eyes are starting to believe
I need to taste everything I see
Anyone could be a brand new day

If I could just stay outof my own way
The temptation's clear as the ringing in my ears
I backslide
Taking the dive

One last time
I backslide
Escalation's hesitating
Constant need for condemnation

My infection is obsession
Don't take away my prized possession
Don't take away my prized possession
Don't take away my prized possession

Don't take away my prized possession
Don't take away my prized possession
I backslide
Taking the dive

One last time
I backslide
