Oblivion


Into oblivion I sink!

Into yonder darkness I march!

Enter, pessimism! 

Let your bile gush into my veins,

Let your poison infiltrate my body!

Nothing is stopping you;

We're past the sea of optimism,

Past the mountains of success.

There, we're here!

The fleeting light is now all gone, 

And total darkness now exists!

Total depression now reigns!

In this oblivion, our permanent home we stay.
