lyrics

"You foolish asshole! what are you doing? Latching on to this aloof and innocent boy? His apathy serves the signs you should be observing, yet you still treat him as your toy? He endured your aggression before, but soon you know there will be no more. You will earn what you deserve as the light you've coveted spills on the floor"

It was a dark place when I found you, there was a light that would surround you
You made my earth shake, you were an earthquake
Whenever I was around you

There wasn't any peace for me
Until I gave you a piece of me
I offered without hesitation
I know you had your reservations

But I can't live without you
It's selfish but I think its true
I'm a missing piece
A broken beast stripped of all of my value

I'm glad that you allow me
To leech off your identity
You don't even know who you are
But you are who I want to be

I can't stop being obsessed
With not being obsessed
Over being obsessed with you
I don't mean to oppress
My object of interest
But I've got the best of you

Maybe we shouldn't have met
We're caught up inside this net
You're becoming my biggest regret
A pain I'll never forget
But I'll keep playing this game I guess
Unable to disinvest
Turning friendship into distress
Failing every single test

Read into everything you say (and lose)
Allow everything to go your way (and lose)
I'll pretend everything's okay (and lose)
For some reason I need you to stay (and lose)

I hope this is the kind of song you wanted (I lose)
Kind of song that should've never been recorded (I lose)
I hope this is the kind of song you wanted (I lose)
Kind of song that should've never been recorded

I can't stop being obsessed
With not being obsessed
Over being obsessed with you
I don't mean to oppress
My object of interest
But I've got the best of you

All this subtext leaves something to be desired
So just tell me I'm the one that you admire
I've got this hunch that I'm the one you want
They all told me that you were lucky to have me
But that's just cause they hadn't seen the bad me
I'm going nuts while driving up your walls

I can't stop being obsessed
With not being obsessed
Over being obsessed with you
(I'm stuck to you like glue)
I don't mean to oppress
My object of interest
But I've got the best of you
(Just like I wanted to)

I need to stop being obsessed
(I hope this is the kind of song you wanted)
Don't want to be obsessed
(Kind of song that should've never been recorded)
I shouldn't be obsessed with you
(I hope this is the kind of song you wanted)
But I've done this to myself

Sick of being oppressed
(I hope this is the kind of song you wanted)
By my object of interest
(Kind of song that should've never been recorded)
But he's got the best of me too
(I hope this is the kind of song you wanted)
Created my own hell
