Isn't It Obvious - Pentimento

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?
