Oblivion

Clouds of smoke as black as night

Fall and choke until you lose your sight

Amazing how life's mazes amaze

Never knowing your left from your right

Lost inside the twisting haze

Wishing for clearer days

Verse 2

Fighting to feel with all your might

It's like doing 90 when the turns are tight

Or searching for a bulb when you're already bright

The things that are done, what we put ourselves through

Chasing shadows in the dark

Ignoring the warning spark

(Bridge)

But weren't you paying attention?

Didn't you listen?

To the millions of warnings we are given

Or to the one or two that you were?

(Chorus)

Searching for a lie

When things are painfully true

Oblivious to the oblivion that's happening to you

The downfall, the bottom

Weren't you there before?

Weren't you sure before?

Verse 3

When you knew then

Like you really knew when

The inevitable was bound to happen

Life hits the hardest when you aren't looking

A silent crash, a sudden sting

Another lesson that it brings

(Bridge)

But weren't you paying attention?

Didn't you listen?

To the millions of warnings we are given

Or to the one or two that you were?

(Chorus)

Searching for a lie

When things are painfully true

Oblivious to the oblivion that's happening to you

The downfall, the bottom

Weren't you there before?

Weren't you sure before?

(Outro)

I don't know what comes next

But I know it will be here

I can be sure that it will be there

But I still look, I still seek

Something that I'm sure to see

(Repeat 'I still look, I still seek' and fade)
