Oblivion (State of Forgetfulness)


Check out the poem. Originally it was a broken up freestyle, but I eventually put it together as a song. This song is dedicated to everyone feeling alone, neglected, or forgotten about. I know I felt this way, so I summed up my feelings into an instrumental. Just know if you're out here feeling by yourself, other people are out here too going through the same thing. You matter in this World... as a distinct voice to be heard in a certain fashion. Don't let anyone tell you different. Oblivion is the state of forgetfulness Reaching out to all the people that fit with this What it consists? Just a bunch of diss That persists In my life, that's what exists Struggles in life, you pay the price Dealing with the world's vice scares us like mice Slapped in the face with a race with a bunch of fakes -- Can't keep up with the pace Oblivion is the state of forgetfulness, Reaching out to all the people that fit with this Oblivion is the state of forgetfulness Reaching out to all the people that fit with this Sat to the side, Placed to the back burner Life's on the line, Just a fact, that's negligent murder This applied to and from my brain network even though no blood is shed, It still hurts No love from friends since I'm so different And my moms? psh... she feels indifferent About the whole situation -- that is That's why im known as, "That kid" No say, She can't relate to nothin' I convey Ducktaped in the room with blazed intakes Feelings aren't mutual I don't even see the sky as blue no more It sucks, to know the one that's suppose to care ain't there What about all your friends that said they was here? All alone, pain you have to bear, Thoughts rushed though the night, finally drops a tear -- What do I fear? (State of forgetfulness) What do I fear? (State of forgetfulness) What do I fear? (State of forgetfulness) What do I fear? (State of forgetfulness) -Nineties
