Oblivion Songtext
von Billy Liar

I′ve got one pack of cigarettes from the night I gave up
Just in case I need to pull them out if this all gets too much
I stuffed them into the back of a drawer
With letters and a broken watch
And there's enough pills in there that I could make this stop

Every day I′m getting closer to giving in
You don't wanna see the situations I've been living in
I don′t get out much but neither do you
I beat myself up the whole night through
The only way I win is by not giving in to oblivion


I′ve got a fistful of dreams you would not believe
And I hold them close and carry them everywhere with me
Cause I don't trust myself, and I know you feel the same
But there is nothing I can to do to show you that I′ve changed

It's a little like Christmas
It′s a lot like a war
Wasting time with the same old lines, I can't force this anymore
Distressing images flash across our screens
I′m a crisis actor cast as the romantic lead

I've got one pack of cigarettes from the night I gave up
And there's enough pills in there that I could make this stop

Every day I′m getting closer to giving in
You don′t wanna see the desolation I've been living in
I don′t get out much but neither do you
I beat myself up black and blue
The only way I win is by not giving in to oblivion
