Waiting On Oblivion

10. Waiting On Oblivion (3:15)

He’s a rock star. Got it all. Got the big car.

Got a mansion on a hillside.

Got his share of thrills.

Doesn’t matter. When his head starts to shatter,

he’s gotta drown the sound in alcohol and pills.

Can’t abide the chaos that he’s livin’ in.

Darkness comes along you know that he’ll be givin’ in

just to find some way to ease the strain.

He’s waiting on oblivion.

She’s a good mom. But she’s tickin’ like a time bomb.

House is like a jailor locking up her needs.

Orders out for pizza. Downs a quart of ice cream.

Snacks her way to midnight, swallowing her dreams.

She’s feeling so confined in the life that she’s living in.

Darkness comes along you know that she’ll be giving in

just to find some solace for the pain.

She’s waiting on oblivion.

Life is filled with such confusion

It can be hard to walk in the light

Sometimes we need a little help to

get us through the night.



He’s the good son. Does what needs to be done.

But inside he’s a sailor. Deep down he longs to roam.

Laces on his sneakers. Goes out to hit the pavement.

Wind in his ears makes him feel at home.

Feeling tired of the life that he’s

He’s waiting on oblivion –

Waiting on oblivion –

Waiting on oblivion
