lethe

I'm chasing sweet oblivion To escape from moments i'm living in I walk a winding road with shades To reach the river near hades' gate Your love was an arrow, swift and true I bled for the beauty of loving you, but I'd drink the waters from the lethe Let them steal the memories Of heaven sending you to me For you to turn and set me free I can't breathe, sweet oblivion No escape from moments I'm living in The water's cold, but not as cruel As the love that shattered me through and through Your love, a knife I let inside I begged for the pain I can't remember why, but I'd drink the waters from the Lethe Let them wash the pain from me Of heaven sending you to me Only for you to leave me be I reached for you in the darkness But just like the water The darkness swallowed me Bitter, sweet, you've disappeared But I'm the one gone So I drank the waters from the Lethe Washed away the memories Then watched my body drift to sea A shell of who I used to be
