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 [bad word] 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


 [bad word]  come sweet oblivion

Keep closing my eyes

Keep me innocent

I'm further away the closer [bad word] 

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

 [bad word]  come sweet oblivion

Keep closing my eyes

Keep me innocent

I'm further away the closer [bad word] 

I'll stand in your light to be forgiven



As silent as space

As warm as the sun

Oh sweet oblivion


 [bad word] come sweet oblivion

Keep closing my eyes

Keep me innocent

I'm further away the closer [bad word] 

I'll stand in your light to be forgiven

As silent as space, 

Oh do and be done, 
 [bad word] sweet oblivion
