lyrics

They say the laughter trade works so hard
'cos it's working at distraction,
From the biggest curtain call,
it's avoidance by stupefaction
Just keep focused on looking away

She said the pleasure of oblivion is out
for all who have hope of change,
So raise a glass if it doesn't add up
if you can think hard and try again
That step back is worth a million tears

Thank God it all makes sense
When I hold your hand and I'm listening to you breathe
When we watch her grow and we see her and believe
When the days are long and simplicity lies in peace
When the ease of time seems like it'll never cease
No way that oblivion could be sublime.

How can someone prefer the void?
to them it's not bleak and cold,
To us a chilling invitation
and so fragile a hope to hold
When despair can disperse at any time

He said he sees them grappling each day
with their own mortaility
and takes comfort in his own
accepted certainty
Now with distance comes a peace

Thank God it all makes sense when
When I hold your hand and when I'm listening to you breathe
When we watch her grow and when we see her and believe
When the days are long and simplicity lies in peace
When the ease of time seems like it'll never cease
No way that oblivion could be sublime.
