Backslide Lyrics & Chords By Marc Copely

My conscience is beginning to pretend
The self destruction's coming to an end
I'd stop the words before they leave my mouth
But the reset button's all worn out
The temptation's clear as the ringing in my ears
I backslide, taking the dive
One last time, I backslide
My sobered eyes are starting to believe
I need to taste everything I see
Anyone could be a brand new day
If I could just stay out of my own way
The temptation's clear as the ringing in my ears
I backslide, taking the dive
One last time, I backslide
Escalation's hesitating
Constant need for condemnation
My infection is obsession
Don't take away my prized possession
Don't take away my prized possession
Don't take away my prized possession
Don't take away my prized possession
Don't take away my prized possession
I backslide, taking the dive
One last time, I backslide
