River of Oblivion

drifted off in the dead of night

lips are blue in the cheap black light

stood so tall when he was on his feet

but that overdose put you underneath

it's another mother that lost her son

in the river of oblivion

it's another daughter that's way too young

in the river of oblivion

she went down to forget herself

and the stories she had left to tell

measured down to the milligram

but a tired heart doesn't give a damn

it's another mother that lost her son

in the river of oblivion

it's another daughter that's way too young

in the river of oblivion

secrets never do get told when you're laying cold
