[Intro]
[Organ drone
Distant church bell
Slow drums fade in]
[Verse 1]
You swore on every Sunday
Kissed me in the chapel door
Left your halo in my bedroom
Left your lies inside my drawer
I traced your name on cracked glass
Watched it blur in blood and rain
Told myself it was an accident
But you carved it in my brain
[Chorus]
Vengeful obsession
You are the thorn in my sleep
Vengeful obsession
You sow
I reap
I was your altar
Now I’m your curse in the dark
Vengeful obsession
I bear the mark
[Verse 2]
Found your letters in his jacket
Ink still warm upon his sleeve
Every sentence like a sermon
Teaching me what hearts believe
Now I light a black candle
For every promise that you broke
I still taste your silver laughter
As my prayers turn into smoke
[Chorus]
Vengeful obsession
You are the thorn in my sleep
Vengeful obsession
You sow
I reap
I was your altar
Now I’m your curse in the dark
Vengeful obsession
I bear the mark
[Bridge]
I whisper blessings
They rot into blight (oh)
I close my eyes
You bloom in the night
I chase your shadow
Down corridors of dread
Till all that I remember
Is wanting you dead
[Chorus]
Vengeful obsession
You are the thorn in my sleep
Vengeful obsession
You sow
I reap
I was your altar
Now I’m your curse in the dark
Vengeful obsession
I bear the mark
[Outro]
[Organ swells
Guitars ring out
Drum hits grow distant]
Your name on my tongue
Tastes just like rust
Vengeful obsession
Ashes and dust
