OBLIVION from HERE LIES by Kill Scenes

running toward the waves
i've saved myself for one that kills
oceans of secret joy
once i'm destroyed, i'll know the thrill

sequence sublimates
the waters claim the dream of time
the mind wakes with no meter
delete the speaker, repeat the rhyme

and in the hours of almost
i slow as i near the end
i crave the gnosis of nothing
but i keep running
oblivion... oblivion, my friend

nightmares full of love
the things i need keep me bleeding
what's there when i wake up?
in oceans deep, can't hear the screaming

tides turned, the yearning wanes
i feign the heart of one prepared
currents beyond the veil
i'm still afraid of what's out there...

what's out there?

and in these hours of almost
does the blade play mere pretend?
i crave the answer to something
but i keep running
oblivion... oblivion, my friend

if i make myself empty will i be light enough to ascend?
on waves of grace?
to a dispassionate embrace?
erase me now
just to face it all again?
