Into myself Into my all Your cold eyes burn within my soul Tiny fragments of my dissonance You cannot stand the stench within The putrid waters rushing through my veins To offer scant nourishment Slip into the silence in your eyes You know you cannot recognise The swollen agony you free Your inner chaos unto me Tiny fragments of my dissonance I cannot stand the stench within The putrid waters rushing through my veins I must release Exsanguinate Follow me this way Follow my sound Follow my way To any end Come what may Give your all to me today And it’s done Silence has won You see your face You know you can’t recognise Your lies behind The shadows in your mind Follow me this way Follow my sound Follow my way To any end Come what may Give your all to me today

The Dance 04:43
Why can’t you see you’re smothering me I can’t be everything that you need But oh though I know that our love’s up and flown You won’t believe that you still want me Sometimes I see behind your eyes The thoughts flashing past You know this won’t last In truth you and I are so distant And why I didn’t see it before I let you into my heart I don’t know Why you can’t see you’re nothing to me You’ll never be anything to me But oh though I know it seems I just can’t let go I still believe you could be something to me It seems like I just can’t help the way I feel when I see You glancing at me And though I know it’s not real why I still Want to know what’s behind Your deep haunting eyes I don’t know Why we keep dancing around ourselves Our souls entwined I can’t unwind from your love Sometimes I see behind your eyes The thoughts flashing past You know this won’t last In truth you and I are so distant And why I didn’t see it before I let you into my heart I don’t know It seems like I just can’t help the way I feel when I see You gazing at me And though I know it’s not real why I still Want to know what’s behind Your deep haunting eyes I don’t know

Peasant Song 04:39
Breathe like it’s your last time The memories of your life Sing like it’s your last line The melody inspired Live for your death Love every moment Sing for your soul You never know when time will end Love like it’s your last love Hold the world in your arms Lust like it’s your last want In passion, bend to her charms Live for your death Love every moment Sing for your soul You never know when time will end Walk along your little Highway to your higher planes And arrows strike me down to Where you cower yonder Fall into your nightly dream Of better things to come Of I ponder why you bother To keep your illusion Paradise lies in your Mindful of how others Play their little Parts of madness The paradox lies open unto others Arm yourself with what little wit You mistake for cleverness Carried out the open wound Shatter now you’ll only stay Until your welcome’s cold Your end befalls

She looks like an over done up porcelain doll Her eyes shine like diamonds revealing her soul She wants all the wonders that time cannot face In this parody of life we call human race You sit and watch in silence Never knowing what nor why You wait in your contented state For all your dreams to pass you by You’re nothing without my touch Without my love This grey, cold world so meaningless Without your taste upon my tongue Carried over nothing Someone hear me And save me from my own embrace Wanting nothing Loving only for you I am watching you are lying in this self-indulgent Bed which I’ve made for you Cry for me I hear Your voices warring over Everything I am To you I am nothing But fuel for your self worth Walking through shadows, laughing at fears Wandering blindly speaking through tears Wanting the love only sadness brings I’m craving the touch of forbidden things Internalised torment Exorcised excrement Who dares disturb my self-indulgent raving Carried by fallen dreams Woken by tortured screams Hold my heart close to your body I am craving No one’s forgotten It’s not love begotten Barely in moments I recover my mind Whispers of nothing Confused I start something Baring my all to your all-knowing eyes

Your Ghost 06:13
The decaying cesspit of self pity Has now frozen for all time And this mouldy, self absorbed illness I now claim for being mine The haunting screams of death close by And knocking on my door Now all my dreams and fantasies Are shattered on the floor I can’t break free of these Shadows haunting me Why can’t you let me be I need silence in myself now I can’t go on like this Just fall to my abyss The hollow you’re haunting me from now I hear your whispers in my head Telling me to come and play I cannot deny the whims of the dead Although I’d rather stay Your shadows scream to cease this life Thus, holding my last breath Though my soul but longed to fly I am now one with death I can’t break free of these Shadows haunting me Why can’t you let me be I need silence in myself now I can’t go on like this Just fall to my abyss The hollow you’re haunting me from now Fall into the pattern of always seeing patterns In the way things fit together like the shadows in the rain Walk along the corridors The long -abandoned corridors The dusty, mildewed corridors and hallways in my brain I can’t quiet I can’t sleep I can’t focus I can’t dream I can’t wander I can’t be I can’t surface I can’t breathe Silent whispers , degradation Soulless listeners, segregation Fallen shadows behind me From my dreams come to find me I can’t break free of these Shadows haunting me Why can’t you let me be I need silence in myself now I can’t go on like this Just fall to my abyss The hollow you’re haunting me from now

My Exit Call 03:48
I shy away from living expectations Try to be just who I am But here I am I’m denying satisfaction Building a fortress from self doubt and fear There’s no way I can Justify hiding myself anymore Imprisoned in good intentions I must release me Content in shadows, full of inhibitions Scared to breathe in, in case I am found I can no longer sit idly by while Inside I cower afraid of life There’s no way I can Justify hiding myself anymore Imprisoned in good intentions I must release me There must be much, much more Much more than I have found There must be beauty hiding Cowering in the crevices in my world I need a key, a way out My exit call And enter into a new scene A new moment A new world This is my moment This is time Awaken, know no bounds Reach inside Reach for life There’s no way I can Justify hiding myself anymore Imprisoned in good intentions I must release me

Highlander 04:05
Lie awake, dear, in your solace Come to me for I see what lies behind your Shattered eyes betray your splendour Hollowed words define your torture There lies the truth There lies the answers Amongst the shadows of learning you’ll find What you’re looking for The search to be more Weep not for yourself Only for your mind Seek not solitude in your longing There can be only one Life, it is all you have left now The war within you It has now begun And there can be only one Stay your dreams, dear, they are behind you The time is nigh to cease inaction There lies the truth There lies the answers Amongst the shadows of soldiers you’ll find What you’re looking for And you will be more Weep not for yourself Only for your mind Seek not solitude in your war, dear There can be only one Life, it is all you have left now The war without you It has now begun And there can be only one One last chance to fight The war that’s in your mind

Symphony 03:46
Missing pages of my stolen dreams My self-fulfilling prophesy I can’t escape what’s come before The choices I’ve made Tiny little skeletons hiding in their secret place The place I run to in my mind And I will run with the symphony Of the poor little me in my head And I will dance to the orchestral poundings Of what used to be you in my bed And I will scream at the flowers For daring to be blooming near me And I’ll wake up tomorrow not remembering what I’ve done And I’ll try my very best to just be I replaced the honour given me With self deceit, with apathy I can’t escape what’s next to come The choices I’ll make Tiny shreds of self respect left behind, lost in neglect What have I come to in my life And I will run with the symphony Of the poor little me in my head And I will dance to the orchestral poundings Of what used to be you in my bed And I will scream at the flowers For daring to be blooming near me And I’ll wake up tomorrow not remembering what I’ve done And I’ll try my very best to just be So afraid, full of fear Of success, of a step Of not being what I expect So afraid, I hold me near To my cave, my hiding place Comfort in isolation And I will run with the symphony Of the poor little me in my head And I will dance to the orchestral poundings Of what used to be you in my bed And I will scream at the flowers For daring to be blooming near me And I’ll wake up tomorrow not remembering what I’ve done And I’ll try my very best to just be

For You 04:46
Can you feel me, can you see me Can you know me like I know you Can you want me, can you move me Can you show me how to feel again I’m breathing in the ashes with the snow These lifeless eyes are burning in the cold And draped around my shoulders are the lies I told Myself to heal my soul I know you’re there I listen for your voice But the sound is lost among this sea of noise And nothing is the same Nothing tastes like it did Before I made my choice And if I listen within my heart I can almost hear you You sear my flesh with your touch I’m shrinking under your gaze I think I spoke too much Like I know you want me to I’m lost, alone and cold now in my soul My love for you less tarnished than I’d hoped And as I hang myself in emptiness Surrounded by my sea of nothing My bitterness as rope Even if I search til this world’s end I could never find you You sear my flesh with your touch I’m shrinking under your gaze I think I spoke too much Like I know you want me to And I am alone Without your taste Your touch Your love Your hand in mine You sear my flesh with your touch I’m shrinking under your gaze I think I spoke too much Like I know you want me to

Sanctuary 12:00
Picture walking amongst lonely enemies Once they’re fallen down Only lonely eyes filling empty minds Carried off to my only sanctuary now Dance all night in my lonely hollow As I look into your eyes as you cry As you fall from grace Swallow all you said to me Lift me up so I can breathe Nothing’s empty now, anymore Carry nothing for your heart Little pictures of nothing Hanging on my barren walls Little sentiments, trophies held to nothing Memories of something you once knew Swallow all you said to me Lift me up so I can breathe Nothing’s empty now, anymore Carry nothing for your heart Cry now as you fall from grace Swallow all you said to me Lift me up so I can breathe Nothing’s empty now, anymore Carry nothing for your heart

about

SWEET OBSESSION is the result of a bumpy road walked for four long years, since aspiring and amazingly talented singer Ellah Rose met Geoff Irish, her loyal and long serving drummer. Together they had a revolving door of bandmates until finally joining with Jesse Higginson (first on keys, then on guitar) and Matt Cuff on bass, this disfunctional family rewrote, reformed, reconstructed and resurrected the the long list of hooky, heavy and delicate songs for the album making sure that only the best made it through. Including a few brand new tracks, the formative years of LEADLIGHT ROSE's career can finally be heard here as SWEET OBSESSION.
