'' That's The Real Price Of Lust ''

I have an obsession I want more from this life,
it gives me depression then fills me with strife,
we've a life of pleasure our lives are for living,
I have found my life's treasure but I have this misgiving.

My wife is my rock there's my wonderful kids,
So I need to take stock or my life hits the skids,
we've a beautiful home what more could I want,
if I decide to roam will it come back to haunt?

I've a life of bliss it is full of love,
what is it I miss does it come from above?
I don't need money there are two fancy cars,
my life is real sunny I can mingle with stars.

I don't really know what it is that I seek,
but it's bringing me woe it is making me weak,
I love all I've got but my life is a chore,
so to stop the rot I've got to have more.

What is this feeling that's driving me on,
it's sending me reeling how I wish it were gone,
what is it I'm looking for what will I find,
that missing link will it cure my mind?

Am I really that sad seeking what's out of sight,
don't tell me I'm mad I know I am right
I've committed the deed now I ask myself why,
was there  really a need now I just want to die.

Now I've done it I'll perish for life is too short,
what you love you must cherish or your mind will distort,
just then I found out why's it's taken so long,
I'm an adulterous lout I know now I've done wrong.

By greed I was driven for a bit on the side,
I will not be forgiven there is nowhere to hide,
there's nobody wants me I've no family or friends,
what really haunts me is my pain never ends.

I have betrayed all the lives I held dear,
because I have strayed they are no longer here,
I am out on the street living all on my own,
my demise is complete they won't let me atone.  

Treasure what you have now for it cannot be bought,
remember that vow to love what you've got,
if you desire another just stop and ponder,
those cravings can smother your feelings can wander.

It's yourself you'll abhor you will know you were wrong,
you will ask what for when it was there all along,
but now it's too late you cannot adjust,
 you're a figure of hate,
