Lyrics

   I don’t know if you can hear me over this
   I don’t know if you can hear the sound
   I don’t know if you’re aware of what’s happening 
   I don’t know if you should stick around
   It’s arriving in a wave of violence
   It’s arriving with an elegant grace
   You can’t fuck with the way of nature
   Everything is falling into place
   
   You know what you have done? 
   Welcome oblivion
   And this has just begun 
   Welcome oblivion
   
   All the flashing lights take over
   All the pretty little dots make trails 
   Leading you to your place of deliverance 
   A little look at what’s behind the veil
   
   You know what you have done 
   Welcome oblivion
   And this has just begun 
   Welcome oblivion
   
   And I am not afraid
