|
So you want to be left alone |
|
The grass is overgrown |
|
It's started to turn brown |
|
And it's that time again |
|
Gonna be drunk by ten |
|
And I keep saying no |
|
But he won't listen |
|
His face all twisted closed |
|
He will not sympathize |
|
He will anesthetize |
|
Bones rattle in their cage |
|
I know I heard him say |
|
Come, come sweet oblivion |
|
Keep closing my eyes |
|
Keep me innocent |
|
I'm further away the closer you come |
|
I'll stand in your light to be forgiven |
|
As silent as space |
|
As old as the sun |
|
Oh sweet oblivion |
|
He's started heading down |
|
And it's that time again |
|
Gonna lie down instead |
|
Impossible to know |
|
What he's thinking |
|
His face as blank as stone |
|
He will not criticize |
|
He tends to idolize |
|
Visions gone to extreme |
|
Sung to me in a dream |
|
Come, come sweet oblivion |
|
Keep closing my eyes |
|
Keep me innocent |
|
I'm further away the closer you come |
|
I'll stand in your light to be forgiven |
|
As silent as space |
|
As warm as the sun |
|
Oh sweet oblivion |
|
Come come sweet oblivion |
|
Keep closing my eyes |
|
Keep me innocent |
|
I'm further away the closer you come |
|
I'll stand in your light to be forgiven |
|
As silent as space, |
|
Oh do and be done, |
|
Come sweet oblivion |
