"we all want things that we know are bad for us
everyone has dangerous fascinations and unhealty fixations
some of them are a little harder to explain than others
but most of us know how to keep our impulses in check
we use will power to fight off our darker instincts
unfortunatly for others will power just isn't enough
the siren call of ones own obsessions simply too strong to resist
the thing we used to want becomes the thing we now need
our obsession becomes our complusion
until eventually we realise pursuing the one thing we want most in life has left us without much of a life at all
but in the end our compulsions are still there
even after they have pushed us to the brink of death
or guided us into places of unimaginable horror"
