'How Much Longer...' is a about someone or something you think you are rid, but everytime you think it won't be back, it creeps back up on you to torment you soul. The inspiration of this song came from a person that used to be in my life. It was a girl I dated in high school and through the next 12 years, we would periodically re-encounter each other for a short period of time and then she would disapper. It wan't all bad though, but thinking about our encounters in a dark way created the song.		Every time I think I have my demons exorcised You come back to haunt me, leave my soul terrorized Why don't you just leave me alone once and for all? You know I'm not that strong, I come crawling when you call Must you constantly remind me that it's all my fault You keep the wounds open by rubbing in the stinging salt I'm down on my knees won't you let this broken man repent But you find your pleasure in your sadistic torment How much longer will I have to be your scapegoat? How much longer will you keep your hands wrapped around my throat? How much longer will you keep me entangled? How much longer will you keep my life strangled? Every time I think I have my demons exorcised You come back to haunt me, leave my soul terrorized I can't escape this agony as long as I live How much more do you expect this man to give? How much longer will I have to be your scapegoat? How much longer will you keep your hands wrapped around my throat? How much longer will you keep me entangled? How much longer will you keep my life strangled?
