it's still getting worse after everything i've tried what if i found a way to wash it all aside? what if she touches with those fingertips? as the words spill out like fire from her lips if she says come inside i'll come inside for her if she says give it all i'll give everything to her i am justified i am purified i am sanctified inside you heaven's just a roumor she'll dispell as she walks me through the nicest parts of hell dance of hell i still dream of lips i never should have kissed well, she knows exactly what i can't resist and if she says come inside i'll come inside for her and if she says give it all i'll give everything to her i am justified i am purified i am sanctified inside you "dear mom and dad, this is the hardest letter i've ever had to write. i'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about it, but that just isn't possible now. i don't know what's going to happen, but what can i say to you? will 'i'm sorry' make a difference? will it ease the pain? the shame you must be feeling...forgive me...please" i'm just caught up in another of her spells well, she's turning me into someone else every day i hope and pray that this will end but when i can i do it all again and if she says come inside i'll come inside for her and if she says give it all i'll give everything to her i am justified i am purified i am sanctified inside you i am justified i am purified i am sanctified inside you
