1st Verse
I've written down these words that storm my mind Trying to decipher a love that we've left undefined Those eclipsing notions of your blameless crime 2nd Verse I've colored paradise with these memories of you Constructing an oubliette that comes all unglued A hostile flaw, a perilous façade that I've fallen into Pre-Chorus On cadging knees, perilous pleas A cacoethes I can't let go This proclivity, to make you love me A compulsion I can't control Chorus You'll remain my temptation like a needle in my vein You'll sustain that sweet sensation when I seek the pain Consider it a wrong impression…but for not…This Heart's Obsession You'll neglect to accept that you've left my love stained You'll find that I am just needing somebody to blame Consider this my only concession…but for not…This Heart's Obsession 3rd Verse I've found that sickness is only a weakness untamed A blessing, a curse, a deleterious disease with your name With it's pretentious lustings that can not be restrained Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus Bridge You are my life's sworn manifesto A dubious sense of my own dignities An anguished fix to a habit forming A malaise pushing against my destiny While you insist you're bound and trussed What you now resist you will learn to trust In my heart's obsession, It is not enough No, Obsession is never quite enough Repeat Chorus |
