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
