Obsessions

(John Clayton)

There are many things that can side track us in life, and in some cases they can turn into situations that harm us and those around us. These lyrics explore that topic with not a resolution but maybe to bring recognition which is always the first step.

A prize fighter always
Chasing his prize
A blind man always
Feeling for some sight
A Doctor always looking
For that healing cure
A hooker trapped in
A revolving door

***Chorus***
We can all be victims
No exceptions at all
Obsessions in our minds
Can have total control
Nothing you can run from
Only resistance stands tall
Obsessions in our minds
Can have total control

A monkey looking
For an arm to feed
A bottle breaking
Up all our Families
All those parents
Trying to shape a baby's fate
A man calls again
To say he's working late

A Dealer selling fixes
For societies needs
A gambler praying for 
A future of dreams
Lovers trying to save
A love gone wrong
A nose trying to breathe
That sweet candies song
