Obsession

Vessels red, vessels black 
Come in one, come in flock 
Finding stain, finding dirt 
On mine face, on mine shirt 

Gaping window, prying eye 
No ease up, no goodbye
Climbing low, climbing high 
Finding glow, forging lie 

All day long, all night long 
Talking gibberish, singing same song 
Shadow black, shadow white
On the left, on the right 

On the front, on the back 
Come discreet, come slack 
Obsession, fixation 
Infatuation, fascination
