lyrics

Obsessive Love

I'm loving you
But you don't even know that I exist, as if you'd care
I'm shoving to
One side a few conclusions that I might have missed, but I don't dare
And though it could spell the end of me
Some things were just meant to be

I'm watching you from deep within the shadows of my mind
And sloshing through a cruel morass of feelings that I never hoped to find

I'm needing you
My dear elusive beautiful obsession, and I'm afraid
I'm bleeding through
A vain milieu of painful true confession, but it's too late
For looking glass lies to erase
Reflections I can't bare to face

I'm walking through a twilight dream where lonely torches burn
And talking to strange voices who will whisper to me that there's no return

Sweet passion has taken its toll
Desire has poisoned my soul

As dying light surrenders to the darkness like a friend
The crying night will soon recite a sacred rite that binds us til the end
