Share The Sin

Contributor: Paul Tristram

It’s time for experience
let’s take a trip tonight.
Leave the mundane with the ordinary
let excess make it right.
Put a strangle hold on strangeness
feed the flames of the insane.
I’ll race you to the ridiculous
we’ll watch our brains blossom again.

If you look into the darkness
you will see a crimson light.
It’s not the Devil watching
it’s the lust within your sight.
You have to sail the boat of broken dreams
to arrive at the shores of success.
Here’s 1 for now and 2 for later
addiction invites you to be its guest.

May I tempt you disgracefully
down the road of ruin with me?
May I tempt your senses
into joining the debauchery?
Find the beast within you
let it join in with the fun.
Feel the need burn within you
stronger than the sun.

Out in the distance
is a place where we must be.
A reality free zone
a hazy sanctuary.
It’s time to face the danger
it’s time to lose and win.
It’s time for mindless pleasure
it’s time to share the sin.
