Mindgames - Lyrics - Abstinence
Abstinence is a self-enforced restraint from indulging in bodily activities that are widely experienced as giving pleasure. Most frequently, the term refers to sexual abstinence, or abstinence from alcohol or food. The practice can arise from religious prohibitions and practical considerations. Abstinence may also refer to drugs. For example you can abstain from smoking. Abstinence has diverse forms. Commonly it refers to a temporary or partial abstinence from food, as in fasting. In the twelve-step program of Overeaters Anonymous abstinence is the term for refraining from compulsive eating, akin in meaning to sobriety for alcoholics. Because the regimen is intended to be a conscious act, freely chosen to enhance life, abstinence is sometimes distinguished from the psychological mechanism of repression. The latter is an unconscious state, having unhealthy consequences. Freud termed the channeling of sexual energies into other more culturally or socially acceptable activities, "sublimation".

Emotional torment
Burning - burning
Through the walls of an already shattered mind
Engage
Break away from the bondage
Mutilating all sense of reason
Forced fed to cor-relate
The doctrinated immobilized
Eradicate - bleeding, bleeding
Social blinders
Mystified if fallacy they require
The humiliation
Of drowning by constriction
Eradicate - bleeding, bleeding
Memory
Denying all access
Bar code identity
Social Security card without the markings
Eradicate - bleeding, bleeding
