lyrics

Lost in a wave of people
Surrounded by the faces we loved, we knew
I sit back, there I see you
It's the end of the night, you're almost through
Head down, you take a sip
Stand up and you slip
Dubbed the pursuit of happiness
The only thing you pursue is oblivion

Can you tell me, does this make your life any easier?
Cause I can't stand to watch you crash and burn
Into oblivion
We've been having such a good time tonight
Not you, spiraling down. I watch you fade
Into oblivion
Into oblivion

Lay down, can I ask you?
Is this really what you wanna do?
I've never seen you look so empty
I can't keep taking care of you
But you're not listening
Blacked out on the floor again
With this pursuit, you've changed
I hope you're happy, cause I've lost a friend

Can you tell me, does this make your life any easier?
Cause I can't stand to watch you crash and burn
Into oblivion
We've been having such a good time tonight
Not you, spiraling down. I watch you fade
Into oblivion
Into oblivion

And I'm leaving, I can't take this anymore
This heavy atmosphere is bringing me down
I gotta get out of here
Sleep easy, my good friend you once were
I hope you find the happiness
That you've been searching for

It is Indie, Acoustic, Rock, Post Rock, and anything that I feel at that moment. ... more
