lyrics

Just like that with ease I’ve conquered another day
and no doubt tomorrow will go the same way
until then I’ll rest myself on my big old bed
safe from mortal thoughts and existential dread

but oooh
oblivion tries to find me
‘one day i’ll catch up to you’
it tries to remind me

it’s a lot of real heavy stuff
but guess what i’m gonna win
oblivion you think you’re tough
but you’re nothing

try me oblivion

at the time my head alights on my pillowcase
my mind is clear and smug contentment blankets my face
close my eyes and rest in peace until the dawn
certain that the sun will rise and life will go on

but oooh
oblivion tries to find me
‘this might be all there is’
it tries to remind me

but I’ve got strong arms for punching
I’ve got powerful legs for running
I’ve got a heart that keeps on pumping
and oblivion you’re nothing
nothing
no-thing

try me oblivion

uh uh no way i’m gonna question my mortality
nice try little guy not gonna wonder when i’ll die
hell no don’t wanna know if there’s a hell and if i’ll go
move along oblivion I’ll live as long as I want
I’ll live as long as I want
I’ll live as long as I want
I’ll live as long as I want

so try me oblivion
