about

Sense Abused: SIGHT & TASTE

Sex. As a male, the desire and obsession for it sometimes overbearingly dictates your every thought. Many accept it, but I can't. It's something that consistently bothers me and I'm always attempting to fight it off. I frequently fail and there are days that I literally hate myself over it. Feels like something I can't control most of the time. Like it's embedded in my DNA. Our society doesn't help either; instead businesses use it against us. This song is a venting session.

lyrics

BY MYSELF

VERSE I
I'm a dude...whatchu want me to do?
b-b-babble like a fool, then make up an excuse
hurting you, not physical, but mental abuse
no matter what we do...can't turn our backs to the truth
yeah, I was lookin' - no, I can't help it
confused and crooked - I am so selfish
aware of my actions, never could fake it
even through my cleanse, I couldn't shake it
and I tried my best, but I failed
and I'd cry for help, but I'm scared
knowin' nothin' different, livin' in a mental prison
and attention must be given to this, it's unfair
sex everywhere, you can smell it in the air
corporations know it sells - they're aware, but don't care
and it sucks that they use our weaknesses against us
market lust, then wonder why we're so mixed up

CHORUS
this is...this is...a fight I can't win by myself
this is...this is...a fight I can't win by myself

VERSE II
confused...searchin' for my personal truth
human like the rest of you, got nothin' to prove
thoughts uncouth, bleed it out in the mus
self-help indie hip-hop with a shot of the blues
yeah, I'm a flirt - ain't no concealin' it
blessed with a curse - being viewed inconsiderate
more self-control - less giving into it
practice what I preach and start livin' it
may lose the fight, but I'll win this war
try to do right, put my faith in the Lord
blinded and defeated while these women are my weakness
fantasizin' only feeds it, I want to ignore
ladies, I adore and I love to explore
surrender to my cravings, I have to have more
and it sucks that I start to hate my thoughts so much
beat myself up to the point I'm gone' erupt
