[Verse 1: Keith Buckley]
I brought a rumor when I came down from the mountain
That spread quicker than the fire in your eyes
Heaven won't let me in, I took my medicine
Salt water couldn't quench my thirst at the fountain
Burn slow, there's no rush
You're right, always right

[Pre-Chorus 1: Keith Buckley]
I want oblivion all the time
I want oblivion all the time
Mindless son of the eternal shine
Mindless son of the eternal shine

[Chorus 1: Brendon Urie]
It snuck up like a desert wind
I got a feeling I won't feel again
When faith abandons me
I hope it does it honestly

[Verse 2: Keith Buckley]
I still howl like an animal in the darkness
And I'm reminded by the blood on my clothes
I can't stand what I've become
I'm shivering to spite the sun
We come together and we're overwhelmed by the loneliness
[Pre-Chorus 2: Keith Buckley]
I want oblivion all the time
I want oblivion all the time
I want oblivion all the time
I want oblivion

[Chorus 2: Brendon Urie]
Burn slow, there's no rush
You're right, always right

[Verse 3: Keith Buckley]
I thought I settled my debts that night on the ride home
But I've still got hell to pay
