Oblivion by Patrick Wolf
“I HEAR YOU BUT I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU”

Father, where’s my gun
Now that the war has begun
Let me go it alone
I need no one
I said I need no one

But oh god now here it comes
And it’s too dark to aim this gun
And now faster, faster, faster
Once again I’m on the run
And I hear you say

“O’ my stubborn son
I know that you said
You need no one
But don’t you see
Danger, danger, danger
Headed to oblivion…”

I followed the hunt
Far as I could…
Through desert weathers
Petrified wood
And I took one shot
In the dark
Back fired the bullet
Silver to heart

And oh god now here it comes
And it’s too dark to aim this gun
And now faster, faster, faster
Once again I’m on the run
And I hear you say

“O’ my stubborn son
I know that you said
You need no one
But don’t you see
Danger, danger, danger
Headed to oblivion…”

“WAIT A SECOND….

HAVE YOU COME SO FAR

FOR IT TO END LIKE THIS?

THIS IS THE CHALLENGE

I DARE YOU

TO TAKE A HOLD OF THAT

DARKNESS

FROM DEEP DOWN IN YOU

GET BACK UP

WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF”

Ok.
Show your face to me
Show your face to me
Be you my friend or enemy
Show your face
Face to me

I do not fear oblivion

Father… where’s my gun?
