lyrics

Oblivian © Fraser MacKenzie 2016

In the darkest of my moments
The flames flickered and died
Every word you wrote to me
Is smoke beneath the sky

A match strikes alive
Bringing life to the night
There’s a sadness to this victory
Gone without a fight

When you can’t go on
And you can’t go back
The fire writes your script
And it’s the final act

This man can let it go
And I can start again
I’ve set you free to oblivion

Better times have come
Distance heals the wounds
The pages they still turn
And the fire it still burns

There’s a beauty in beginnings
As there’s a sorrow in the end
The beauty of destruction
Is rising up again
I took the feathers from a phoenix
Made them ashes in the wind
What lies beyond horizons is oblivion

Every word you wrote
And everything you see
Are now just faded memories
And unforgotten dreams

Every word I wrote
And every word I see
Are only past lovers now
And love is what I need

Everything I feel
And everything I need
My heart is on my sleeve
Come and watch me bleed

Can you see it
I can see it on you
Can you feel it
I can feel it with you
Love is all I don’t need

My twisted heart on my sleeve
Please dont watch me bleed
Into oblivion, I am oblivion.

Let our days flow behind us
Like a river of kindness
We all face the darkness alone.
