OBSESSION

◈────────────────────────◈ O B S E S S I O N ◈────────────────────────◈ ┌─ V E R S E I ─────────────┐ 3 AM, the neon's bleeding through the blinds I chalk the outline of the ghost you left behind You're not a phase, you're a neurological glitch You hijack dopamine and flip it like a switch I used to crave the peace, now I just crave the rush Two volatile compounds — one touch and we combust ┌─ P R E - C H O R U S ──────┐ Is this a chemical high or a spiritual low? You're the only red light that tells me to go Breaking the surface, I'm breathing you in Let the disaster begin ✦ ───── C H O R U S ───── ✦ You're my obsession, my holy sin, Under my skin, under my skin No, I don't want it, I don't want a cure, Make me impure, make me impure Poison me slow Don't let me go You're my obsession, my holy sin, Under my skin, under my skin! ┌─ V E R S E II ────────────┐ We don't talk, we barter shadows in the dark Leaving phantom scars on a cold, defensive heart You're the big red button I'm not supposed to press Just a slow-burning fuse in a black silk dress Tell me when the fever finally burns us out Or will we feed the fire and choke on all this doubt? ┌─ P R E - C H O R U S ──────┐ Is this a chemical high or a spiritual low? You're the only red light that tells me to go Breaking the surface, I'm breathing you in Let the disaster begin ✦ ───── C H O R U S ───── ✦ You're my obsession, my holy sin, Under my skin, under my skin No, I don't want it, I don't want a cure, Make me impure, make me impure Poison me slow Don't let me go You're my obsession, my holy sin, Under my skin, under my skin! ╳ ───── B R I D G E ───── ╳ Stay broken. Stay distant. Stay mine. We're running out of oxygen, running out of time Can't speak? Then let me bleed it out! Can't scream? Then hear my silence shout! I struck the match myself, I burned the bridge behind You're the holy chaos that I chose to find! ✦ ─── F I N A L C H O R U S ─── ✦ You're my obsession, my holy sin! Under my skin, under my skin! No, I don't want it, I don't want a cure! Make me impure, make me impure! Poison me slow! Don't let me go!
