OXYBUZ Lyrics

Father forgive me
Asking for forgiveness from God

I'm letting you down
Feeling guilty for not living up to God's expectations

Mama forgive me
Asking for forgiveness from one's mother

I've let myself drown
Feeling like one has given up and is overwhelmed by life

My demons won't leave me
Struggling with personal issues that won't go away

So with them I'll stay
Choosing to live with one's problems instead of seeking help

And I'll be okay
Putting on a facade that everything is alright, despite feeling the opposite

Now my eyes are closing
Getting tired and losing energy

Now I start to feel it
Feeling the effects of one's choices and actions

Yeah you make me want it
Blaming someone else for one's destructive behavior

Yeah you make me need it
Feeling dependent on someone else to cope with life's problems

So babe don't you cry
Comforting someone else who is affected by one's behavior

When I don't say bye
Leaving without saying goodbye

You know I died
Metaphorically dying because of personal issues and destructive behavior

Died loving you
Despite one's problems, still having love for someone else

Tried loving you
Trying to express love despite personal struggles

My blood has gone cold and I don't think Ill make it now
Feeling physically and emotionally drained

(Make it now)
Reiterating that one is not doing well and struggling to survive

Mama I'm sorry but your prayers cannot be found
Feeling like God and prayers are not enough to solve one's problems

(Not be found)
Emphasizing the lack of prayer and divine help

My tears they are flowing but don't make a sound
Crying and feeling emotional, but not expressing it

And as times goes by
As time passes

I'll be left behind
Being left alone because of one's destructive behavior

So I fade away
Slowly disappearing from someone's life

To a better place
Finding peace and resolution in death

Nothing you can do
Acknowledging that friends and family can't solve one's problems for them

Nothing you can say
Acknowledging that words cannot fix one's problems

But you're better now, with me not around
Believing that other people will be happier without one's destructive behavior

(Not around)
Reiterating that one is gone and not present anymore

(Not around)

(Not around)

(Not around, Not around)

(Not around, Not around)

(Not around, ohh)

(Not around, Not around)

Yeah you are not around
Feeling abandoned by someone else

Yeah you left me in the ground
Being buried after death

I'm begging baby please
Asking for forgiveness and reconciliation from a loved one

He died loving me
Believing that someone else still loved them despite their problems and destructive behavior
