"Oblivion"

[Verse 1: Trey Anastasio]
I fold my hands across my breast
No stones to weigh upon my chest
No fist to clench, no furrowed brow
Though cold, I'll sleep more soundly now

[Chorus 1: Trey Anastasio]
No stranger sunset have I seen
The wavy lines, I float between
Converges, spirals and surround
And draw me further underground

[Verse 2: Trey Anastasio]
Between the layers in the soil
I crash through shale and splash in oil
My relentlessness is finally quit, woo-hoo, ooh
And I am warming up a bit

[Chorus 2: Trey Anastasio]
Below a kingdom bathed in ink, now opening the onyx gates
I sense the reaper as I sink, within, oblivion awaits

[Instrumental break]

[Refrain: Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman]
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil (Oblivion awaits)
I crash (Oblivion awaits) through the shale (Oblivion awaits)
And splash (Oblivion awaits) in the oil (Oblivion awaits)
I crash (Oblivion awaits) through the shale (Oblivion awaits)
And splash (Oblivion awaits) in the oil (Oblivion awaits)
In the oil

[Instrumental break]
