Here it comes again 
Cannot out run my desire 
Cover my decent 
And throw the 
Beauty on the fire 
Drawn towards the edge 
Do I assume I could fly 
Every secret shared 
Why do I drink 
The feelings dry 
Don't go too far 
Limitation scars 

Tonight 
Could I be lost forever 
To drown 
My soul in 
Sensory 
Pleasure 
Sensory 
Pleasure 

Here it comes again 
You raise the bar even higher 
I cannot catch my breath 
So throw the 
Beauty on the fire 
Don't push too hard 
Limitaion scars
