When sex becomes meaningless
And repetition brings no satisfaction
And enjoyment morphs into stress
And indulgence brings overstimulation
And more is less, more or less,
The spirit slowly begins to dread temptation,
Hard to resist, hard to satisfy
The art of the lie and of the Lie,
The bitter cup shall pass none by.
