Oblivion Lyrics

[Verse 1: Labrinth]
Heaven never heard me calling
Guess this is the reason I feel like hell

Weatherman, the rain is pourin', yeah, yeah
I wanna be in time
See, I'm bein' honest right now
I've been in this dark, cold cell
So why do I keep myself locked in? Yeah
I wanna be

[Chorus: Labrinth]
I wanna be, be in oblivion
Don't wanna live like this
Need something to knock me out
Don't wanna feel
Nothing can make me numb

Nothing left but to run
I need you to knock me out, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Labrinth & Sia]
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
Yeah— Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
I need you to knock me out

[Verse 2: Labrinth]
Box me 'round the ears, my darling
Only you can bring relief, my dear
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Crush me with love but don't leave, yeah, yeah
Wanna be
[Chorus: Labrinth & Sia]
I wanna be, be in oblivion
Don't wanna live like this
Need something to knock me out
Don't wanna feel
Nothing can make me numb
Nothing left but to run
I need you to knock me out, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Labrinth & Sia]
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
Yeah— Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
I need you to knock me out
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
Yeah— Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
Need you to knock me out

[Bridge: Labrinth]
In a cold sweat
I was livin' in my head
Near death 'til this experience
So if you're ready

[Chorus: Labrinth]
If you're ready, be my oblivion
Don't wanna live like this
Need something to knock me out
Don't wanna feel
Nothing can make me numb
Nothing left but to run
I need you to knock me out, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Labrinth & Sia]
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh (Oh-oh, no, no, no)
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh (Yeah, yeah, no)
Yeah— Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
I need you to knock me out (Yeah)
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh (Oh)
Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh (So go, ooh, yeah)
Yeah— Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh
Need you to knock me out

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
