[Verse 1] At the end of terror I found ashes Scattered in the field I once knew so lush and green Breathing in and out Used to feel so easy Now it bites my chest Now it leaves me wheezing Difficult and ruthless Such a painful existence Fear fills the air And it sticks like sickness This used to be a place to grow Now a waste land Dried up of wisdom Tarnished, tattered, tampered with [Pre-Chorus] What do you see? What do you see? Look at the ground It knows my name What do you see? What do you see? I can't go back To that same flame [Chorus] Beautiful oblivion Beautiful oblivion What do you see? What do you see? Beautiful oblivion Beautiful oblivion I lost the green I kept the grief [Verse 2] Ashes on my tongue Every word turns bitter Every step I take Feels like I'm walking with a splinter I remember rows of life Hands in the dirt Now the roots are black And the memory hurts Tarnished, tattered, tampered with That's the way it broke All that lived here once Now buried in smoke I shout at the empty field Let it answer me But the only thing that speaks Is the shape of what I used to be [Pre-Chorus] What do you see? What do you see? Look at the ground It knows my name What do you see? What do you see? I can't go back To that same flame [Chorus] Beautiful oblivion Beautiful oblivion What do you see? What do you see? Beautiful oblivion Beautiful oblivion I lost the green I kept the grief [Bridge] If pain is a home Then I know the door If ruin is a crown Then I wore it before I stood in the fire Now I know the cost A field can be empty And still feel lost [Final Chorus] Beautiful oblivion Beautiful oblivion What do you see? What do you see? Beautiful oblivion Beautiful oblivion I lost the green I kept the grief
