"Obsolete" lyrics - OF MICE & MEN

[Intro:]
Obsolete

For a thousand days I watched the vultures circle overhead
And I counted the ways the world would be blessed when I finally reached my end
And I felt the weight of the world pushing me into the soil below
And I felt the desert sun above, while I tried to drink water from a stone

[Pre-Chorus:]
But I'm not ready to die alone

[Chorus:]
So can you wake me from my sleep
And show me now that this is just a dream?
'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream
And I'm afraid of what's in store for me
Becoming obsolete

[Post-Chorus:]
Become obsolete
Become obsolete

Another frozen frame, another glitch inside my consciousness
So I pick my poison and just choke it down until I start to spin
And while the world just slowly turns, I fade like fog into the sea
While the mighty galleon burns around me, I slowly start to sink

[Breakdown:]
Maybe I'm not ready to be set free
Maybe these shackles are what I need
If you find the answers, come rescue me
But I can't hold my breath

[Chorus:]
So can you wake me from my sleep
And show me now that this is just a dream?
'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream
And I'm afraid of what's in store for me
Becoming obsolete

[Bridge:]
(Becoming obsolete)
(Maybe I'm not ready to be set free)
(Maybe these shackles are what I need)
(If you find the answers, come rescue me)
(If you find the answers, come rescue me)

[Chorus:]
So can you wake me from my sleep
And show me now that this is just a dream?
'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream
And I'm afraid of what's in store for me
Becoming obsolete

[Post-Chorus:]
Become obsolete
Become obsolete
Become obsolete
Become obsolete
