Catch Fire - Petrifaction lyrics

I have an obsession One unlike yours of your complexion But there’s a blemish beneath my skull that I must conceal Before it takes me in like a tidal wave And I feel like everyone around me is sailing Along the smoothest seas but I’m failing To find a way to the shore I guess I’m sinking here all alone in your absence Why does everything that I touch turn to stone? I’ll keep my hands to myself in the future to keep you closer to me I guess I’m sinking here all alone in your absence And oh did I mention I’m calloused from every kind of rejection But there’s a blemish beneath my skull that I still feel I’m sure it makes me out to be something that I’m not Now all the people that surround me are saying: “We miss the way you were” Now I’m praying that I can find my way to the shore I’ll turn the past to the present alone in your absence I have an obsession One unlike yours of your complexion But there’s a blemish beneath my skull that I must conceal Before it takes me in like a tidal wave I’m sinking here all alone in your absence
