Oblivion - O'Brother

Caught inside of this nightmare I find

There is only night no tunnels of light

Umbilical ties mark the start of dependancy

Gathering weakness in cradles of infancy

There is no purpose for truth in this fallacy

Stumble through life on the edge of insanity

I find that time has crippled me internally

I make my way like a wandering amputee

No reciprocal law

Where the ends meet the cost

No reward for the cause

Or the innocence lost

All that’s left are the flaws

And their eternal gnaw

Caught inside of this nightmare I find

There’s an endless divide between me and where I need to be

Blood runs dry in a visible line

It’s the trail I devised and it leads me back to my defeat

When I swallow my pride

It eats it’s way through my insides and out for all to see

So I lie fabricating a smile

Oh it’s hollow and vile but I’ve learned it keeps your mind at ease

Helplessly I watch as I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

Time passes by and still I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

Helplessly I watch as I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

Time passes by and still I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

(Oblivion)

Helplessly I watch as I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

(Come take my cup)

Time passes by and still I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

(Come drink my blood)

Helplessly I watch as I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

(End what I’ve become)

Time passes by and still I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

(Oblivion)

Helplessly I watch as I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

(Come take my cup)

Time passes by and still I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

(Come drink my blood)

Helplessly I watch as I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

(End what I’ve become)

Time passes by and still I am pulled in by the

Effortless grip of a greater oblivion

Oblivion

Oblivion
