Lyrics

Compulsion

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

All the love you stole

All the love you sought

Exposing you

I am torn

Dark spell, I crave you so

I wanna live, but you just won't let me go

We laid there in starlight

Woke-up in the storm

Am I yours?

I'm not sure

Oh

Dark spell, you cast me so

I wanna live, but you just won't leave me alone

Oh

And the wheel keeps turning

I can't get enough

And the flame keeps burning

And I surrender love

They say the eyes are like

Windows to the soul

I ain't so sure

I see through yours

Oh

My borders are broken raw

I just can't protect, can't protect them no more

And the wheel keeps turning

I can't get enough

And the flame keeps burning

And I surrender love

Turn your back on another world

Promise yourself "never again"

Oh

The wheel keeps turning

But I can't get enough

And the sun keeps burning

And I surrender love
