I'm bound by this obsession
Your sticky lips, pale eyes
Inspired by a lunacy
Morbid and uncontrollable
Shrieks in a dream that never ends
Pictures of you that will not burn
Someday soon I've got to learn
A pretty little package, my pale obsession
A haunted ghost in faded jeans
Your memory kills me
You'd turn in your grave if you ever knew
The whom and what that I've become
My darling, my darling
You're gone and here I sit
Controlled by a lunacy, a morbid desire
To set this whole damn place on fire
You're gone, you're gone; but still I sit
Galled to the shadow of yesteryear
I'd lie on your grave - scream your name
Make sure this world never forgets you
But they'd lock me up, pad the walls
Dumb down the obsession with pictures of flowers
Kittens...ink blots...clowns
So I scream in silence for you, Jane
Death is often beautiful
But living death is never pretty |
