Lyrics
BUILT TO FAIL
Get me a drink I'm in bed with the devil herself
Gave in to my hunger and put my ideals on the shelf
Every second I hear the sound/that keeps me comin round
I fail to resist
I stand outside shredding up bills in the rain
Hoping she graces me with her presence again
Cursed is the man/when multiplication's God's plan
So I fail to resist
There's always one that makes you shake all your convictions
Cause like a dog man's only faithful as his options
Biology will always beat your karma senseless
And leave your credibility weak and defenseless
He who's without sin...
Get me a chain she's unscrewing the bolts to my soul
I'm out of alibis and my conscience has been on the dole
And the eyes in back of my head
been up for days they're bloodshot and red
I fail to resist
I find myself waking at 3 o'clock/her soft hands feel the caress on my
The clock is mocking my mind/and the devil she's making me blind
And I fail to resist
There's always one that makes you shake all your convictions
Cause like a dog man's only faithful as his options
Biology will always beat your karma senseless
And leave your credibility weak and defenseless
He who's without sin...
