House of Lies

[Verse 1]
How can I become a man, a man of God when in my mind I’m a man of a million lovers?
All my secrets kept deep beneath the covers
My eyes twitch and twist
Oh, what a mess my portrait has become
What will I become?
What will I become?
My desire for love is tainted
How am I the picture you painted?
My canvas is nothing
My colors are disgusting

[Chorus]
It's haunting me
I'm so terrified that I won't break free
It follows me, follows me
These earthly addictions are consuming me

[Verse 2]
Corruption corrodes my true reflections
What kind of gentleman possesses these intentions, to hide these filthy afflictions?
Will I ever look at a woman in pure thought again?
Or will I fulfil these slutty fantasies in my head?
Am I imprisoned in this never ending sin?
Free me from my lust; restore my innocence
Sex sells, I was born into a world of sin
Sex sells, predestined to let these voices in

[Chorus]
It's haunting me
I'm so terrified that I won't break free
It follows me, follows me
These earthly addictions are consuming me

[Post-Chorus]
(Wo-oh-oh)
It's following me to the point of breaking
(Wo-oh-oh)
My rotting soul is yours for the taking

[Refrain]
She was my home
The house of lust kept me warm at night, but
You pry open my eyes
The house of lust was a house of lies
She was my home
The house of lust kept me warm at night, but
You pry open my eyes
The house of lust was a house of lies

[Pre-Chorus]
I lost myself walking to a home that was burnt down years ago
Don't let me wither away
Don't let me wither away

[Chorus]
It's haunting me
I'm so terrified that I won't break free
It follows me, follows me
These earthly addictions are consuming me

[Post-Chorus]
(Wo-oh-oh)
It's following me to the point of breaking
(Wo-oh-oh)
My rotting soul is yours for the taking

[Outro]
What will I become?
(What will I become?)
What will I become?
(What will I become?)
What will I become?
(What will I become?)
What will I become?
(What will I become?)
