Oblivion
5th Projekt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scramble, clamber to unearth your claim
Don't make it a loss this time – you're going to butt in
You're going to find your competitive side
Walking into a disposition that you never thought would fit
You won't pray yourself into Oblivion
You won't be scared sacred becoming a minion
You can't help but crave
Desire eventually will have you wanting the right thing
You may seem a bit naïve, but you need to discover where the line is
So that you know where to cross it and walk beyond that silver streak
You won't pray yourself into Oblivion
You won't be scared sacred becoming a minion
Your house of cards can't always be sheltered from every
Bump or breeze - keep it out of
Devastations sight…god forbid…I'd want to play with it
You won't pray yourself into Oblivion
You won't be scared sacred becoming a minion
