Sole Obsession – Nation Of Language Lyrics, Letra:

You promise not to run away
I promise not to overplay my card
Feign survival
I must stop limiting myself
You and your sensational soul
Slowly reframing our roles
Empty idol, strange disciple

I float across the temple grounds
Three whole years from side to side
To only seek and never find

My sole obsession
Finally I feel it fading
Walk me home and walk away
Sole obsession
Suddenly a different shading
Walk me home and walk away

Too far along to operate
Don’t offer me this measured attention
End the cycle
I must stop limiting myself
You and your sensational soul
Ornamentation and all
Empty idol, strange disciple

My sole obsession
Finally I feel it fading
Walk me home and walk away
Sole obsession
Subtly I see it changing
Walk me home and walk away
Walk me home and walk away

From The Hill – Nation Of Language Lyrics, Letra:

In a park alone
So suddenly
You get swept aside
With friends like these
From the hill I see them passing
From the hill I see the rivers freeze

Everyone for themselves
Then it comes apart

And I want the days
When I had no shame
Coming by the house
Calling out my name
You were always walking over
You were always walking over me

Everyone for themselves
Then it comes apart

We’re a long way from the easy days
A long way from the easy days
We’re a long way from the easy days of old

You were always walking over me

Everyone for themselves
Then it comes apart
