Obsessed with an obsession to be anyone but myself.
Infested with the misconception that there's no one I can tell
That I'm numb to everything
but I still feel the fucking pain
Although I want to change the world
I'm avoiding it just the same.
I. CANT. HOLD. ON.
I can't hold onto love
because my hands are full from holding grudges.
I reached to a god above me,
to save me,
to love me,
But he ruins everything he touches.
“Desperate, so desperate.
I need to love, I need to breathe” *
Oh diving bell above me,
Set me free
Obsessed with an obsession to be anyone but myself. [take me away]
Obsessed with an obsession to be anyone...
