Sole Obsession Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You promise not to run away
I promise not to overplay my card
Feign survival
I must stop limiting myself
You and your sensational soul
Slowly reframing our roles:
Empty idol, strange disciple

[Pre-Chorus]
I float across the temple grounds
Three whole years from side to side
To only seek and never find

[Chorus]
My sole obsession
Finally I feel it fading
Walk me home and walk away
Sole obsession
Suddenly a different shading
Walk me home and walk away

[Verse 2]
Too far along to operate
Don’t offer me this measured attention
End the cycle
I must stop limiting myself
You and your sensational soul
Ornamentation and all
Empty idol, strange disciple
[Chorus]
My sole obsession
Finally I feel it fading
Walk me home and walk away
Sole obsession
Suddenly I see it changing
Walk me home and walk away

[Outro]
Walk me home and walk away
Walk me home and walk away
Walk me home and walk away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
