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 anaesthetize
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
