Oblivion

[Verse 1]
Clasping loneliness in unease,
I froze; my creativity froze too.
On the brink of ideas, at the precipice,
I searched for you in this eternity.

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm stuck somewhere in that story,
Where the bridge across eternity is in theory.
But you passed me by—I noticed.
I drank from the river of oblivion.

[Chorus]
I will make my soul forget you
(forget me)
To live in that underground kingdom without you
(without you)
I will leave behind my attempts
(attempts)
In hopes of lesser torture
(lesser torture)

[Verse 2]

Having walked the path to the beginning of history
I will follow a different trajectory
I will surrender to the emptiness of loneliness
I will leave you and creativity

[Chorus]
I will make my soul forget you
(forget me)
In that underground kingdom I lived without love
(without you)
I will leave behind my attempts
(attempts)
In hopes of lesser torture
(lesser torture)

[Bridge]
And in the silence, where steps are inaudible,
I realized: the ice inside has not broken.
But if my heart had turned to ash,
My spirit would have been scattered by the wind.

[Final Chorus]
I made my soul forget you
(forget me)
I lived in that underground kingdom without love
(without you)
I left behind my attempts
(attempts)
The end result—no less torture
(no less torture)
