"Obsession" lyrics

"Obsession"

You wanna be a star
But that's what everyone wants to do
You don't know who you are
You can't have all eyes on you

You want to be a star, you want to be a star
And I'm crawling out of a bleak future
You want to be a star, you want to be a–
And it's much better just to be a loser

You wanna go far
And everything will pay off in the end
Money can't talk
Unless you're hallucinating

You want to go far, you want to go far
And I'm crawling out of a bleak future
You want to go far, you want to go–
And it's much better just to be a loser

I'm my own obsession, and I don't know what to do
I am your oppression, but you forget I'm human too
I'm my own oppression, and I don't know what to do
I am your obsession, but you forget I'm human

You want to be a star, you want to go far
And I'm crawling out of a bleak future
You want to be a star, you want to go far
And it's much better just to be a loser
You want to be a star, you want to go far
And I'm crawling out of a bleak future
You want to be a star, you want to go far
And it's much better just to be a loser

I'm my own oppression, and I don't know what to do
I am your obsession, but you forget I'm human too
I am your oppression, and you don't know what to do
I'm my own obsession, but I forget I'm human

You want to be a star, you want to go far
But I forget I'm human, oh
You want to be a star, you want to go far
You want to be a star, you want to go far
But I forget I'm human
You want to be a star, you want to go far
But I forget I'm human
