Obsession Stares Back Songtext
von Chris Connelly

Obsession stares back, says if you were my sister, you′d be my lover
Obsession stares back, says you'll obey my brother as well as a lover
Across rooms threading your mind, past the people position
The dark web and the shadow showers
Obsession leaves a line like Theseus did
Shrinking cracks to the chambers, the memory palace
It′s all we have, obsession and chambers
Most of the doors closed, most of the sounds stifled
Most of the light replaced with instruction
Madame Estuary, Monsieur le Tight Line
The right time, wound up so tight
You can see your reflection and the reflection is down
Double meaning expelled on the moving mirror
So be my sister, so be my lover
Talk like Jack and Julie, play like Jack and Julie
In a cement garden
Obsession stares back, kills the frost on the window again
Left for hours to talk into the blackness
No glimpse of light on the captive floor As the obsession stares back, sweet-talk back
Words encrypted on festival walls
Read through filters and wet frames
Back to our chambers, just like Jack and Julie
Obsession stares back, we're not decadent
We just drink from the same glass
We're not lovers, we′re just siblings who dream
We sing a cryptic narrative and lie to ones we sing to
We′re not lovers, we're just Jack and Julie′s shadow
Shudder to think we shared a womb
Madame Estuary, Monsieur le Tightrope Walker
Don't let the rope slacken, don′t fall in your cement garden
Where obsession stares back, oh honey, it stares so hard
That death stare gives life to every wave in your estuary
He's downstairs breathing her in again
He′s downstairs breathing her in again
He's downstairs breathing her in again
He's downstairs breathing her in again
