Lyrics

Oblivion

[Verse 1: Sia]

Heaven never heard me calling, no

I 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, yeah

I've been in this dark old cell

So why do I keep myself locked in? Yeah

[Chorus: Sia]

I wanna be, be in oblivion

I don't wanna live like this

Need something to knock me out

I don't wanna feel, no

Nothing can make me numb

Nothing left but to run

I need you to knock me out, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Sia, Both]

Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh

Oh-oh, yeah

Yeah-ooh-yeah-ooh

Oh-oh, yeah

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, dear, dear, dear

Crush me with love, adore me, yeah, yeah

Wanna be

[Chorus: Sia & Labrinth]

I wanna be, be in oblivion

I don't wanna live like this

Need something to knock me out

I 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: Sia]

Cold sweat

I was livin' in my head

Near death 'til this experience

So if you would be

[Chorus: Sia, Both]

If you would be, be my oblivion

I don't wanna live like this

Need something to knock me out

I don't wanna feel

Nothing can make me numb

Nothing left but to run

I need you to knock me out, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Sia, Labrinth, Both]

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
