BRIGHT LIGHT OBLIVION
Bright light oblivion
Say that you need it
Let it take hold
It swallows your world
It's out of control
It's just an addiction
It's just what you crave
You can stop if you want to
But just not today.
This sandstorm you're feeling
Its not just inside
Others can see you
As you peer through the blinds
I'm not that way
I'm not like the rest
What the hell have I done?
I've caused such a mess
I wanna go back now
Let me off of this ride.
I just wanna go home
Please...just open my eyes
But its not a nightmare
Its simply my life
No quiet persuasion
I need an army of mine.
It's robbed and it's plundered
Its taken my youth
But there's still time to fix this
No there's not...
I need you.
But wait you're addicted.
We do it the same
I with my needle
And our cc's of pain
You can't even look
When it first breaks the skin
I gag from the sight
But I let it go in.
Oh my god we are fallen
How long do we have?
We did this ourselves
The knife's in our hand.
This ship is sinking
We both can swim
Take my hand...
close your eyes
Let the water wash in.
For the first time in ages
I feel at peace
In this bright light oblivion
I have all that I need
It can't hurt you
I promise...
it won't find you here
It won't hold us hostage
There's no need for fear.

Honest write, Tyson. What is the "bright light oblivion"? Death?
Bright light oblivion is my attempt to step outside myself to write honestly about myself. It deals with a phase of my life where I struggled with substance abuse...complicated even more by the fact that my partner was also fighting the same addiction. I took the sadness we both felt for not being able to remedy the others sickness...instead making it worse and using it as an excuse for our own. I took the fear of dying because of it and threw in hypothetical life after death twists and turns and basically just put every factual happening of how it was and tried to poetify it. Make it rhyme. And lastly I ignored the urge to abbreviate....which is evident in its length. Overallbit was written in 10 minutes and while its not perfect...I wanted others who are struggling to maybe find something in it that could help them. To answer your question...yes...it is about death. Its about drugs. And its about that desire to fill yourself only to realize youve killed yourself. Thank you for reading. Please forgive my lengthy reply and any possible typos. I am not often good at condensing. And im on my mobile now Lol ...thats my excuse. But its a true one. :)
