Quinn Purcell - Temptation

Don't give into the temptation
That's what my elder's been saying
But I've gone my whole life running away from you
That night I wanted to fight it
Just go to bed and deny it
Shit's hard, I think I could just quit
But I want what I shouldn't so I went then I took it
Fuck, holy shit — what the hell is this?
Three days of agony I feel my wires split
Don't disregard all the fun I didn't have
I'm glad I tried it now before my older self got sad
Light in my face from the window hiding place
I just wanted it to end, let the sunrise rest again
No more pain, no more fear, had my heart beating a moan
I've got to get away, from this place, from this town, from my home
I've always tried to be smarter
You can't lead me back to the water
I got it out of my system
I learned it all from my father
In the end we'll all be a setting sun
No point in disappointing anyone
As long as I get through I'll be okay
I'll chase the sunrise anyway
(I've always tried to be smarter, you can't lead me back to the water)
I'll get through this day
(I got it out of my system, I learned it all from my father)
I've always tried to be smarter
You can't lead me back to the water
(We'll chase the sunrise every day)
Don't give into the temptation
I don't know what I was thinking
I've got my friends and my family, they're all the tonic I'll ever need
I think it's best I don't know how it could've come to be
