Victim of Desire

Verse 1

I can tell by the look you're about to break

You've got a lot of nerve but you got it to take

You got your back against the wall

You got no choice but to give it your all

Verse 2

I can see you're just about to go insane

You're under pressure and you're feeling the pain

You think you're caught in a deadly game

You're not the first and you won't be the last to go insane

Pre-Chorus

You're just a victim of your own desire

You've walked through hell and you're still in the fire

You've been beaten and you've been burned

But you're still standing for lessons never learned

Chorus

Persistent states of mind

Watch out, don't fall behind

Persistent states of mind

You're just running out of time

Verse 3

You take your life but you can't kill the pain

There's no escape from what's inside your brain

You think the end is the end of the game

And you're the victim and you'll never know who was to blame

Pre-Chorus

You got the power but you just can't see

You're in control but your mind isn't free

You're the master and you are the slave

You got the power but you'll take it to your grave

Chorus

Persistent states of mind

Watch out, don't fall behind

Persistent states of mind

You're just running out of time

Bridge

Your mind is twisted, your thoughts are skewed

Your life is wasted, your soul's subdued

Your will is broken, your strength is gone

But still you struggle, still you carry on

Pre-Chorus

You got the power but you just can't see

You're in control but your mind isn't free

You're the master and you are the slave

You got the power but you'll take it to your grave

Chorus

Persistent states of mind

Watch out, don't fall behind

Persistent states of mind

You're just running out of time

Persistent states of mind

Watch out, don't fall behind

Persistent states of mind

You're just running out of time

Outro

Persistent states of mind

Persistent states of mind

Persistent states of mind

Watch out, don't fall behind
