Emotions are easily spent

Twisted and forever bent

When fixations are not returned

The lines are so quickly obscured

[Chorus]:

When I am haunted by your vision

I will cause you pain

At me you spit your derision

You are my obsession

You are repelled by my existence

But you will soon be trained

My sins atoned for in silence

An act of contrition

Held before my eyes

Though distant enough to be seen

If I were to pull it too close

I'd blur it to its full extreme

I'm barren of anything else

A lunatic's need to possess you

[Chorus]

When I am haunted by your vision

I will cause you pain

At me you spit your derision

You are my obsession

You are repelled by my existence

But you will soon be trained

My sins atoned for in silence

An act of contrition

Rational thought

Has vanished and fled for its life

The one goal after which I've sought

It's upon your fear that I thrive

[Bridge]:

When written words are now legible

The story can be told

But when they're thrust too close to my eyes

They become a blindfold

And it's then, reality

Fades into obscurity

Then I find that my mania

Is out of control

I tighten the grip on my obsession

But I can''t be consoled

Now it's made me dangerous

To all but you I'm oblivious

Distortions, perverse and unfair

You're threatened as I dominate

You need me, so why are you scared?

From my grasp there is no escape

[spoken]

Don't you ever think of leaving me

You are mine until I set you free

The pain you feel is of no consequence

Many suffer, few survive...

I'm not one with whom to be toyed

Your mind easily I'll destroy

Enforcing my supremacy

Accept me, I'm your destiny

[Chorus]

When I am haunted by your vision

I will cause you pain

At me you spit your derision

You are my obsession

You are repelled by my existence

But you will soon be trained

My sins atoned for in silence

An act of contrition
