Oblivion

lyrics

VERSE 1 
A struggle from deep within, 
So desperate just to give in, 
Your strength halts my suicide, 
That one thing keeps me alive  

CHORUS 1 
If I fade into oblivion, 
No one's there to hold you when, 
You lose the will to love again. 
Words you held on close to then, 
Do their best to save you when, 
You lose your strength to live

VERSE 2
Destroyed in all but my name, 
Insidious mental decay, 
Growing increasingly frail, 
Our lives are marred by my shame  
Assigned to labels deemed fit, 
So hard to live for each day, 
A future looking more bleak, 
Purges all reasons to stay. 

CHORUS 2 
If I fade into oblivion, 
No one's there to hold you when, 
You lose the will to love again. 
Words you held on close to then, 
Do their best to save you when, 
You lose your strength to live

If I fade into oblivion, 
No one's there to hold you when, 
You lose your strength to live again

BRIDGE
Remember me, our memories, 
Recourse for my behaviour,
 Easy to see, mortality, 
Is able to let me go.  

To leave you is accepting all that we've known, 
Instincts about to let go 

I tried so hard, 
To paint a picture of me, 
Your reminder of me

OUTRO
Let me, let me be free
Allow all my fears
To just disappear
That you denied from me
I tried to cling on
To our memories
But it slipped away
From me, from me,
Just let me go
Let me save my soul
And fade away
Just me go
