O'Brother - Oblivion lyrics

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 pa**es 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 pa**es 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 pa**es 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 pa**es 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 pa**es 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 pa**es by and still I am pulled in by the Effortless grip of a greater oblivion. Oblivion Oblivion Oblivion
