Isn't It Obvious Lyrics



I can't remember the last time I looked someone in the eye.

Keeping myself in suspense.

Well I've long since sold my soul to a ghost of where I've been.

I've long since grown to know the consequences of this life I choose to live.

But isn't it obvious?

I understand your intent, and where you're going with all of this.

(where are you going with all of this?)

I understand you're afraid of letting go

and that everyone deserves a place to call their home.

But isn't it obvious that it secretly brings you relief

to hear all these terrible things about me?

So I said to myself

"When was the last time that we spoke?

There's a train wreck ahead, and at this rate you'll never avoid it".

Then it came just as clear as day:

I desire what will destroy me in the end.

But isn't it obvious that it secretly brings you relief

to hear all these terrible things about me?
