lyrics

Incandescent
Afterglow
Somebody that you knew
Someone I know
adrift in memory’s undertow

We shared a story once
upon a time
you wrote me into yours
I cast you darling in mine
Reciting our favorite lines
we entered the scene
Me and you
On Cue

pre-chorus:

As hungry shadows
swallow the streets
whole!
Ohhhhhhhhh! until

chorus:

Something relents
something let’s go
‘til you're no longer waiting on
Oblivion

*****SOLO*******

pre-chorus:

As hungry shadows
swallow the streets
whole!
Ohhhhhhhhh! until

chorus:

The battered old sun’s
heavy ascent
dishwater blond, see her rise-

Something relents
something let’s go
and frees you from
waiting on
you’re no longer waiting on
Oblivion
