lyrics
I have an obsession.
One unlike yours of your complexion,
But there’s a blemish beneath my skull
that I must conceal,
Before it takes me in like a tidal wave,
And I feel like everyone around me is sailing,
Along the smoothest seas but I’m failing,
To find a way to the shore.
I guess I’m sinking here all alone in your absence.
Why does everything that I touch turn to stone?
I’ll keep my hands to myself in the
future to keep you closer to me.
I guess I’m sinking here all alone in your absence.
And oh did I mention,
I’m calloused from every kind of rejection,
But there’s a blemish beneath my skull
that I still feel.
I’m sure it makes me out to be something that I’m not.
Now all the people that surround me are saying:
“We miss the way you were”.
Now I’m praying that I can find my way to the shore,
I’ll turn the past to the present alone in your absence.
I have an obsession.
One unlike yours of your complexion,
But there’s a blemish beneath my skull that I must conceal,
Before it takes me in like a tidal wave.
I’m sinking here all alone in your absence.
