Oblivion
[Verse 1: Trey Anastasio]
I fold my hands across my breast
No stones to weigh upon my chest
No fist to clench, no furrowed brow
Cold, I'll sleep more soundly now
[Hook 1: Trey Anastasio]
No stranger sunset have I seen, the wavy lines I float between
Converges, spirals and surround, and draw me further underground
[Verse 2: Trey Anastasio]
Between the layers in the soil
I crash through shale and splash in oil
My relentlessness is finally quit, woo-hoo, ooh
And I am warming up a bit
[Hook 2: Trey Anastasio]
Below a kingdom bathed in ink, now opening the onyx gates
I sense the reaper as I sink; within, oblivion awaits
[Refrain: Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman]
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Refrain: Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman]
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash through shalе and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash! (Oblivion waits) Through the shalе (Oblivion waits)
And splash! (Oblivion waits) In the oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash! (Oblivion waits) Through the shale (Oblivion waits)
And splash! (Oblivion waits) In the oil (Oblivion waits)
In the oil
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain: Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman]
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash! (Oblivion waits) Through the shale (Oblivion waits)
And splash! (Oblivion waits) In the oil (Oblivion waits)
I crash! (Oblivion waits) Through the shale (Oblivion waits)
And splash! (Oblivion waits) In the oil (Oblivion waits)
In the oil
