Obsession

Folder: 
2005

wash your hands to wash off the obsession

panic attacks come in the midst of the tension

doing things over and over again, sick of it all

you try to ignore them but you hear them call

compulsive behaviors disrupt your life every day

and it seems there is nothing to do to take them away

it's become a habit, it's become a ritual routine

thoughts consume you and you don't know what they mean



chorus

obsessions, compulsions, torchuring you

don't know how to stop them or what to do

invading your mind, driving you insane

causing you distress, causing you pain

your so afraid, devoured by your intense fear

afraid you'll lose everything you hold dear

obsessing every single hour of every single day

hoping and wishing somehow it will just go away



don't know what to do anymore

these are thoughts you can't ignore

runaway thoughts taking over your mind

and you can't seem to leave them behind

they posses you and you can't escape

try to fix it with a little tape

but it's really hard to do that now

you want to stop them but don't know how

chorus



try to make everything perfect all the time

that will make things better in your mind

but it just starts all over again

how you wish it would all come to end

obsession after obsession fly around

making you want to just breakdown

you want to be able to somehow break free

of this prison your captive in, you want to flee

chorus
