Zathalen - Thorned Temptation Lyrics

I reached out for the taste, felt the sting right through,
It looked so sweet, but the thorns cut too.
All along, I knew it wasn't safe,
Still, I held on tight to the bitter taste.
Fingers bleed, but I couldn't let go,
Drawn by the pull of the unknown.
I wanted what I couldn't have,
But the price I paid cut deeper than I planned.
Why do I keep holding on, knowing I'm wrong?
The fruit was sharp, the wound was strong.
I tried to claim what wasn't mine,
Now I'm left with scars from wasted time.

I held the spikey fruit in my hands,
Thought it would heal me, but it bled me instead.
Now I'm caught in the thorns, can't break free,
Fighting the pull, but it's owning me.
I held the spikey fruit, now it's all I taste,
Lost in the thorns of my own mistakes.

Caught in the thorns... Can't break free...
Every time I reach, it cuts me down,
Yet I still return, chasing what I found.
It promises sweet, but it's lined with pain,
No matter how I fight, I fall again.

The sharp edges keep me close,
It's the price I pay for getting too close.
I thought I could handle what it gave,
But I'm buried now, and I can't escape.
Why do I keep holding on, knowing I'm wrong?
The fruit was sharp, the wound was strong.
I tried to claim what wasn't mine,
Now I'm left with scars from wasted time.

I held the spikey fruit in my hands,
Thought it would heal me, but it bled me instead.
Now I'm caught in the thorns, can't break free,
Fighting the pull, but it's owning me.
I held the spikey fruit, now it's all I taste,
Lost in the thorns of my own mistakes.

Now I'm staring at the mess I've made,
The fruit's too ripe, but I can't let it fade.
The scars grow deeper with every touch,
But I still crave it, I want it too much.

I held the spikey fruit in my hands,
Thought it would heal me, but it bled me instead.
Now I'm caught in the thorns, can't break free,
Fighting the pull, but it's owning me.
I held the spikey fruit, now it's all I taste,
Lost in the thorns of my own mistakes.

Caught in the thorns... Can't break free...
Caught in the thorns... Can't break free...
