[Verse 1] Melodies of regret, are ringing in my ears I'm listening to my fears, and drowning in the tears Im Dance'n with the devil, to hide from all those fears [Chorus] I do it to myself a self-inflicted sin A symphony of failures, are playing in the din I do it to myself now a self-inflicted sin Even though it hurts me deep within (deep within) [Verse 2] as much as I decide, always giving in. the Mistress Temptation, playing games with no end Sweet illusions she sprinkles, casting her faults its all fun and games now, but it’s a dangerous waltz [Chorus] I do it to myself a self-inflicted sin A symphony of failures, are playing in the din I do it to myself now a self-inflicted sin Even though it hurts me deep within (deep within) [screaming guitar solo] [Verse 3] the leash of temptation, is a terrible affliction controlled like a dog, the Collar of addiction but joy has turned to sorrow, that will haunt me all tomorrow it used to make me happy, but now It makes me feel crappy (feeling crappy) [Chorus] I do it to myself a self-inflicted sin A symphony of failures, are playing in the din I do it to myself now a self-inflicted sin Even though it hurts me deep within (deep within) [drum fill] [Verse 4] when I am all on top, my black heart turns red I regain my control, and I stand tall instead that Mistress Temptation, is in the back of my mind, But with some determination, faith in myself I can find (faith in myself I can Find) [Chorus] I do it to myself a self-inflicted sin A symphony of failures, are playing in the din I do it to myself now a self-inflicted sin Even though it hurts me deep within (deep within) [Screaming guitar solo] [Guitar Fill] [Outro] I do it for myself now I’m calling in my hope, a true spark of the light and for now the struggles gone I do it for myself now I can do this, and be alright (and be alright) [Fade Out] I do it for myself now I can be alright I do it for myself now you know Ill be alright
