Obsess

10: 1  Turned off the light, But doesn’t feel right, 

I do it again and again,

How many times has it been, 

10: 2  If I don’t get it right, Will my family die? Will I? 

10: 3  Walking down the street, Same damn feeling, 

I have to repeat, 

Turn around, go back,

This time don’t step on the crack, 

10: 4  A horrible thought drifts through my mind, 

For forgiveness, Make up a ritual,

do it twenty times, 

10: 5  Maybe with my hands or my feet,

I’m embarrassed so it must be discreet, 

10: 6  Life is exhausting when things don’t feel right, 

Constantly repeating,

and keeping it out of sight, 

10: 7  I try and stop, to just move on,

But the feeling’s just too strong.
