Affliction (feat. PJ Temple) Video (MV)

What is pain?
What, is pain?
It's desire, and hate, and everything great, and everything fate

It annihilates an otherwise stable mind state
It's bastardly, it's backstabbing
It's dastardly

And yet somehow, somehow
It embraces these scattered shards
That no one else would ever dare touch

It pierces, it pounces, it bites, bites
Leaving fragments, a trail of your innermost secrets

And then shoves you away, hard, hard
Leaving you marred
It makes you sacrifice and spar for what you believe
And sometimes don't
For what you would never betray
No matter what the stakes, or what type of crazy it makes
The lakes between you are no obstacle

But then you wonder how you can't recognize who you are
In your own thoughts, anymore

You must leave now
You turn toward the door
But then
You just keep thinking, you just keep thinking, you just keep thinking

Of the last time you tasted her
The last time your nails stroked the inside of his thighs
You were both so high
He stripped off your knee highs and all your little alibis
And how he loves how you ride the tides of taunting
And your mind's relentless haunting
Of disgusts and pleasures, of velvet mouths and treasures
Of velvet sounds, of treasons and tethers

It's tortuous toll
It's seeking bold
It's finding your soul
It's heartless cold, it's heartless cold

It's a trap
It's looming, it's looming wrath

It's desireand hate and everything great and everything fate
Damn it
Love Is Affliction
