Alice

Obsessed and running tight circles to a dream come true Late for the future an escape from monotony trapped by a compulsion i cant explain i wont admit it, and you prove it to me obsessed and dreaming of that day living every moment in my head fair is fair we will be square your salvation depends on it I refuse to live alone in my self made nightmare eclectic and taught through you selling me, a life i cant stop tight circles from my living room from the fifteen clocks to 13 mirrors the obsessions go on Target practice something else for me to get good at the reason soo many walking in their crutches cant explain why they go back to the pain familiar mistakes familiar patterns maybe we're the same obsessed with the manipulation finding ourselves under someones thumb and who gets the blame for slowing us down from our one object to crave the answer of the subconcious riddle from freud to jung political warfare of similar minds dentists and doctors why we buy the same products cant lose weight and here it is for the obsessed the day for us to get to the tight circles of us running from our clocks and mirrors the tight circles of our crutches and thinking showing them the way we run
