Janet Lee Myatt: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I’m running out of words to say

As I begin to slip away

Into oblivion

I’m running out of thoughts to think                

As I begin to slowly sink

Into oblivion

 

CHORUS

I’m floating free

Above the pain and jealousy

There’s no place left for me

And so I seek oblivion

 

What price paid will be enough

Who determines what is just

As I fall into oblivion

When will I get down off this cross

And finally take back what I’ve lost

When I fell                        into oblivion

 

CHORUS

I’m floating free

Above the pain and jealousy

There’s no place left for me

And so I seek oblivion

 

As I become more wide awake

I’m overwhelmed by the weight of hate

And I fall back                         into oblivion

The darkness is so dubious

Could I have been so frivolous

When I fell                        into oblivion

 

CHORUS

If I’m forgiven how will I know

Will I take on an angelic glow

Will punishment fin’ly lose its hold

Or will I fall into oblivion

If I’m washed clean what does that mean

If I am free why chose misery

Or does it all lead into oblivion

 

I’m running out of words to say

As I begin to slip away

Into oblivion
