Petrifaction

I have an obsession
One unlike yours of your complexion
But there's a blemish beneath my skull that I must conceal
Before it takes me in like a tidal wave
And I feel like everyone around me is sailing (Sailing)
Along the smoothest seas but I'm failing (Failing)
To find a way to the shore
I guess I'm sinking here all alone in your absence

Why does everything that I touch turn to stone?
I'll keep my hands to myself in the future to keep you closer to me
I guess I'm sinking here all alone in your absence

And oh, did I mention?
I'm calloused from every kind of rejection
But there's a blemish beneath my skull that I still feel
I'm sure it makes me out to be something that I'm not
Now all the people that surround me are saying (Saying)
We miss the way you were
Now I'm praying (praying) that I can find my way to the shore
I'll turn the past to the present alone in your absence

Why does everything that I touch turn to stone?
I'll keep my hands to myself in the future to keep you closer to me
I guess I'm sinking here all alone in your absence

Why does everything that I touch turn to stone?
I'll keep my hands to myself in the future to keep you closer to me
I guess I'm sinking here all alone in your absence (In your absence)

I have an obsession
One unlike yours of your complexion
But there's a blemish beneath my skull that I must conceal
Before it takes me in like a tidal wave

I'm sinking here all alone in your absence
