Cover: Obsession With A Ghost

Obsession With A Ghost

Dark Alternative Rock / Gothic

The Story

Welcome to the darker side of memory. “Obsession With A Ghost” is a deep dive into the madness of grief, where holding on feels like an addiction. It’s heavy, atmospheric, and driven by a beat that refuses to let go.

This is a raw, unpolished demo recording. It captures the sound of a sanity wearing thin—rough edges, feedback, and unfiltered emotion included. It wasn't about perfection; it was about getting the ghost out of the machine.

So turn off the lights, put on your headphones, and let the devil walk right in.

A YouTube exclusive: this track is not available on Spotify or other streaming platforms.

Lyrics

I lock the door but you get in
You are the needle in my skin
I drink the memory like wine
It tastes of blood and lost time
I know you’re gone
I saw the stone
But I am never ever alone

My sanity is wearing thin
I let the devil walk right in
I can’t let go, I won’t let go

Obsession
In love with a ghost
You’re the poison that I need the most
My dark confession
From coast to coast
I am burning for a shadow
It’s an obsession with a ghost

I hear your whisper in the air
I look around but no one’s there
I feel the cold against my skin
The sweet decay that sets within
You are the phantom in my head
The only thing that isn't dead

My sanity is wearing thin
I let the devil walk right in
I can’t let go, I won’t let go

It’s obsession
In love with a ghost
You’re the poison that I need the most
My dark confession
From coast to coast
I am burning for a shadow
It’s an obsession with a ghost

(You haunt me)
(You taunt me)
Why won't you die?
Why won't you leave?
I have nothing left to give

It’s obsession (yeah!)
In love with a ghost
You’re the poison that I need the most
My dark confession
My holy host
I am burning for a shadow
Just an obsession with a ghost

Just a ghost
Just a ghost
