Issues - Beautiful Oblivion Lyrics






Heres to You

I might've f*cked up today
But I'm too f*cked up to care
You've been calling me
I can't find my phone nowhere
I don't know what I'd say
Even if you were to reach me
Cause I can't feel no pain
When the night comes out to save me

On the late night laying with the demons
In the distance I can hear you screaming
Oh I follow, follow the darkness
Lost my money trying to numb my nightmares

I'm stuck in my ways
So drunk day after day
Too much to undo
Couldn't make you stay
Here's to you
Here's to you

I might've f*cked up today
But I'm too f*cked up to care
No I'm not seeing straight
But it's clear inside my head
That you can't handle me
Even if your heart was stone cold
And I don't feel no shame
When the nights they start to grow old

On the late night laying with the demons
In the distance I can hear you screaming

I'm stuck in my ways
So drunk day after day
Too much to undo
Couldn't make you stay
Here's to you
Here's to you

Commandeer my mental space
I'd rather be asleep
Far too gone to concentrate (I don't wanna wake up)
I'd rather be not me

On the late night laying with the demons
In the distance I can hear you screaming
Oh I follow, follow the darkness
Lost my money trying to numb my nightmares

I'm stuck in my ways
So drunk day after day
Too much to undo
Couldn't make you stay
Here's to you
Here's to you

Commandeer my mental space
I'd rather be asleep
Far too gone to concentrate
I'd rather be not me

Drink About It

I feel it every time you make me wait
I hear it every time your phone vibrates

Drown in my cup, chasing the hurt
Down on my luck, I'm on the verge
Blood on your cuffs, I got the key
But you'd rather lie to me

Oh, oh, why you do that?
There's a million other things that you're good at
Singing, "oh, oh," 'fore I spill it
I'll let your brain run wild for a minute

I see it even through these dark red eyes, yeah
Believe it you know I knew this whole damn time

Drown in my cup, chasing the hurt
Down on my luck, I'm on the verge
Blood on your cuffs, I got the key
But you'd rather lie to me, yeah

Oh, oh, why you do that?
There's a million other things that you're good at
Singing, "oh, oh," 'fore I spill it
I'll let your brain run wild for a minute
Oh, oh, why you do that?
There's a million other things that you're good at
Singing, "oh, oh," 'fore I spill it
I'll let your brain run wild for a minute

I'mma sweat you out, sweat you out (sweat it out)
How many times do I let you become all I drink about?
I'mma sweat you out, sweat you out (sweat it out)
How many times do I let you become all I drink about?

Oh, oh, why you do that?
There's a million other things that you're good at
Singing, "oh, oh," 'fore I spill it
I'll let your brain run wild for a minute
Oh, oh, why you do that?
There's a million other things that you're good at
Singing, "oh, oh," 'fore I spill it
I'll let your brain run wild for a minute

Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I'mma sweat you out, sweat you out (sweat it out)
How many times do I let you become all I drink about?

Tapping Out

All this bullshit got me in a headlock
With the blame and the names that you call me
And when you know you're wrong, then you're sorry
Bitch, I had a long day, back up off me
You get to spitting all up in my face
'Bout to say some shit that we just can't erase
My heart is moving at a fast pace, hey, yeah
And now the gloves off, I'm against the ropes
I wanna break it off, but then I choke, ooh, yeah

Someone call the referee
Take the pressure off of me
And now you're popping off with the low blows
(Tried to make it one last round, but)

So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Suffocating, can I get out?
All this drama breaking me down
So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Weight is getting heavy, ooh
Tried to make it one last round, but I'm tapping out now, oh

I thought we had a deal: We would start over
Put it all in the past, getting older
But you're taking all these shots at me, I warned ya
I'm tired of this pressure on my shoulders
And now the gloves off, I'm against the ropes
I wanna break it off, but then I choke, ooh, yeah

Someone call the referee
Take the pressure off of me, yeah
And now you're popping off with the low blows
(Tried to make it one last round, but)

So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Suffocating, can I get out?
All this drama breaking me down
So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Weight is getting heavy, ooh
Tried to make it one last round, but I'm tapping out now

I trusted you, if only I could see
Wishing for your love was so foolish of me
Acting like you're somebody I don't know
And now you're somebody I don't know
Can you say you tried, truly?
I trusted you, how f*cking foolish of me

So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Suffocating, can I get out?
All this drama breaking me down
So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Weight is getting heavy, ooh
Tried to make it one last round, but I'm tapping out now, ooh

Find Forever

Oh yeah
What about love
What about love do we
Just enough to keep it low key
Just enough to fight the lonely or
What about love
If it finds us do we
Take it to the chapel so sweet
You could find forever in me yeah
Ooh (what you scared for baby)
But are you comfortable with
Showing me your soul when
You still don't trust me to be yours again
Are you comfortable with
Taking on our odds when
We've been so caught up in our distractions
What about love
What about love do we
Just enough to keep it low key
Just enough to fight the lonely or
What about love
If it finds us do we
Take it to the chapel so sweet
You could find forever in me
Are you comfortable with
Showing me your soul when
You still don't trust me to be yours again
I can promise you that
If you let me in
You'll find happiness to be your best friend
What about love
What about love do we
Just enough to keep it low key
Just enough to fight the lonely or
What about love
If it finds us do we
Take it to the chapel so sweet
You could find forever in me
I just needed you to know
You got no reason to be scared just let it go
Little bit of you, little bit of me
Little bit of hesitation drive me crazy
Take me to the chapel baby, I do
What about love
What about love do we
Just enough to keep it low key
Just enough to fight the lonely or
What about love
If it finds us do we
Take it to the chapel so sweet
You could find forever in me
What about love
What about love do we
Just enough to keep it low key
Just enough to fight the lonely or
What about love
If it finds us do we
Take it to the chapel so sweet
You could find forever in me

What about love
If it finds us do we
Take it to the chapel so sweet
You could find forever in me
Take me to the chapel baby

Without You

What's the point of holding hands at the end of the hall
What's the point of skipping class and getting lost in the stall
What's the point of falling for, in a world of falling floors
She a fan of the Wu so for the moment it's yours
I can't read your mind but that kush do tell
I can reach behind and squeeze and greet you well
Evade your exes round you talking bout when we chillin'
Good guys never mattered when euphoria's the healing

Miss Sugar Honey Ice Tea
I used to see waterfalls come to my knees
Gotta shoulder you can lean on
Wouldn't dream of leading you on
Miss Sugar Honey Ice Tea
I used to see waterfalls come to my knees
Gotta shoulder you can lean on
Wouldn't dream of leading you on

No I can't read your mind this time
As much as I've tried and tried
I just wish I knew, I just wish I knew
And then this whole time wouldn't have been spent without, without you

One shot down make the soul go free
Two shots down make the door for that key
Three shots down she finally said it to me
Yo, can't you read the signs? Now I'm planning for that pedigree
In the back of my jeep
Moving the passenger seat
The passion's lashing and dashing
And galaxies(sees) the climaxion(action)
Love can beat all the madness
Fully deplete all the sadness
And I know, and I know

Miss Sugar Honey Ice Tea
I used to see waterfalls come to my knees
Gotta shoulder you can lean on
Wouldn't dream of leading you on

No I can't read your mind this time
As much as I've tried and tried
I just wish I knew, I just wish I knew
And then this whole time wouldn't have been spent without, without you

Miss Sugar Honey Ice Tea
I used to see waterfalls come to my knees
Gotta shoulder you can lean on
Wouldn't dream of leading you on
Miss Sugar Honey Ice Tea
I used to see waterfalls come to my knees
Gotta shoulder you can lean on
Wouldn't dream of leading you on

No I can't read your mind this time
As much as I've tried and tried
I just wish I knew, I just wish I knew
And then this whole time wouldn't have been spent without, without you

Rain

You're the kind of person whose cup is half empty and I
Can't stand the thought of the laughs that we never share
Don't wanna think of the bad but there's plenty if I
Have a parade I know you'll be there

Rain rain rain go away
I sit and wait for you to change
But you never change, never change

Why the hell is it raining so much
Why are you always clouding my mind
Why the hell is it raining so much
I'm just tryna have a good time

Somebody said lighten up it sounds easy but you
Haven't had any sun in a while
You always ruin the fun before it's even begun
It's so impossible to make you smile

Why the hell is it raining so much
Why are you always clouding my mind
Why the hell is it raining so much
I'm just tryna have a good time

This time I
Will let it wash you out of my mind
Why the hell is it raining so much
I'm just tryna have a good time

Rain rain rain go away
I sit and wait for you to change
But you never change, never change

Why the hell is it raining so much
Why are you always clouding my mind
Why the hell is it raining so much
I'm just tryna have a good time

Why the hell is it raining so much
Why are you always clouding my mind
Why the hell is it raining so much
I'm just tryna have a good time

This time I
Will let it wash you out of my mind
Why the hell is it raining so much
I'm just tryna have a good time

Rain rain rain go away
I sit and wait for you to change

Downfall

Truth burns your eyes
Don't act surprised
Like someone opened the curtains
On the person I really am inside
What do we have
That we didn't earn
I'm sick of hiding the power
To be the shelter your body needs to learn

I wish I had a purpose I could do without the fame
I need someone to miss me when they hear my name
What we find in the ashes then we lose in the fire
I will burn to keep you alive

You are my downfall
You are my downfall I know
You are my
My heaven, my hell
My thunder, my calm
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You are my downfall

We slowly build
Like castles in the sand
Waves are crashing and I become a vessel
To carry what you can't

You give me a purpose when I've had it with the fame
I need someone to hold me when I go insane
What we find in the ashes then we lose in the fire
I will burn to keep you alive

You are my downfall
You are my downfall I know
You are my
My heaven, my hell
My thunder, my calm
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You are my downfall

(Downfall, downfall)
You are my

Downfall
You are my downfall I know
You are my
My heaven, my hell
My thunder, my calm
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You are my downfall

Second Best

I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am

The pain is too surreal
But I'm far from numb
Nothing can explain the way I feel (so I run)
Breaking down to save myself
Like all my friends I burn my lips
On cigarettes cause I refuse to let them end

You say it gets better
But I don't wanna hear it
Wanna learn the hard way

Oh oh oh go bother somebody else
Oh oh oh and let me live in my hell
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me

I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best

When enough's enough
I swear I'll let you know
Right now the best thing for me
Is to fight on my own

You say it gets better
But I don't wanna hear it
Wanna learn the hard way

Oh oh oh go bother somebody else
Oh oh oh and let me live in my hell
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me

Sometimes I wanna get lost
Just listen to Citizen and be pissed off cause
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me

I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best (Alive is all I am)
I think that I'm just second best (Alive is all I am)

I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am

I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am

I think that I'm just second bestAlive is all I am
Alive is all I am

Go bother somebody else
And let me live in my hell
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me

Sometimes I wanna get lost
Just listen to Citizen and be pissed off cause
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me

Flexin

Late on my rent
But I just copped the new Timbs
And yeah car got a flat
But I got salt on my rim
Nobody knows
I keep the tags on my clothes
Yeah, I got bills that are due
But I got money to blow

My daddy's in my ear
He said watch your f*cking money
My mama's talking shit
Burned a hole right through his pocket
I don't wanna hear
I just wanna get this honey
No, I don't wanna hear

My flexin' is a problem
My flexin' is a problem
My flexin' is a problem, yeah
My flexin' is a problem, ooh
Wallet like a cemetery
I might go and wake the dead
My flexin' is a problem
I gotta spend it til there's nothing left

Late on my rent
But I just copped the new Tims
And yeah my car got a flat
But I got salt on my rim
Called out of work
I'm 'bout to drink til' it hurts
They'll be like "Ooh bitch, he snapped
Off in his Gucci T-shirt"

My daddy's in my ear
He said watch your f*cking money
My mama's talking shit
Burned a hole right through his pocket
I don't wanna hear
I just wanna get this honey
No, I don't wanna hear

My flexin' is a problem

No Problem (Keep It Alive)

I ain't got no problem
Dealing with your shit
But baby, just be honest
With what you want from this
The lights have felt so blinding
My feelings for you show
So keep your love in line, yeah, in line

I can't shake it, nah, babe
You don't know the words you say, they hold weight
I won't fake it at this stage
Probably wouldn't stop, the drifting away
It's just hard to live when love ain't on our side
I keep waiting, but the timing just ain't right

(If you keep it, if you keep it)
If you could find forever in me
(If you keep it, if you keep it)
Then I promise that I'll keep feeding the flame
I could hold you tight, keep you satisfied
(If you keep it, if you keep it, if you keep-keep-keep it)
Keep it alive

I don't want your body
If I don't get your soul
If you're really with me
Baby, let me know
Your summer felt like winter in May
And I need you like a flower needs sunlight every day

I can't shake it, nah, babe
You don't know the words you say, they hold weight
I won't fake it at this stage
Probably wouldn't stop, the drifting away
It's just hard to live when love ain't on our side
I keep waiting, but the timing just ain't right

(If you keep it, if you keep it)
If you could find forever in me
(If you keep it, if you keep it)
Then I promise that I'll keep feeding the flame
I could hold you tight, keep you satisfied
(If you keep it, if you keep it, if you keep-keep-keep it)
Keep it alive

You'll not hurt my pride
If right now you decide
That you are not ready to settle down
But if you want my heart
Then it's time that you start
To act like you're mine in the light and the dark

If you love me, say it
If you trust me, do it
If you want me, show it
If you need me, prove it
If you love me, say it
If you trust me, do it
If you want me, show it
If you need me, prove it

(If you keep it, if you keep it)
If you could find forever in me
(If you keep it, if you keep it)
Then I promise that I'll keep feeding the flame
I could hold you tight, keep you satisfied
(If you keep it, if you keep it, if you keep-keep-keep it)

I ain't got no problem
Dealing with your shit
(If you keep it, if you keep it)
But baby, just be honest
With what you want from this

Your Sake

I don't love you like I think I do
It's not because I found somebody new
It's not because of anything you did
It's because of what I've failed to do
I can't live with this guilt, I won't put you through hell
No more than I've already 'cause you hurts to say I blame myself
I know you're holding on, God must've built me wrong
I hid who I was in the dark but now the lights are coming on
Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I'll cherish everything we had to this day
Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
Wish I could be somebody else
Wish I could be somebody else
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
Swear I'd be somebody else for your sake
I don't love you like you think I do
I'm just in love with all that we've been through
You're always bringing out the best in me
And I don't wanna lose a friend in you
I can't live with this guilt, I won't put you through hell
No more than I've already 'cause you hurts to say I blame myself
I know you're holding on, God must've built me wrong
I hid who I was in the dark but now the lights are coming on
Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I'll cherish everything we had to this day
Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
Wish I could be somebody else
Wish I could be somebody else
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
Swear I'd be somebody else for your sake
It's taking all I have in me to tell you to your face
That all I have in me is nothing you can change
I never had a choice and it's more than you can take
But I swear that if I did, you know what I would say
Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I'll cherish everything we had to this day
Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
Wish I could be somebody else
Wish I could be somebody else
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
Swear I'd be somebody else for your sake
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I'll never be somebody else for you sake

Beautiful Oblivion

Say goodbye to yesterday
I wanna feel a different pain
Give me anything but this
Cigarette against my wrist
You speak and bullets fly
Our love is crucified
Heaven only sees behind these eyes

Symphonies in my head keep me alive
I feel my pulse bumping like a beat I can't deny
Beautiful oblivion

I can't feel you now
I'm in love with the rhythm
In love with the rhythm
Beautiful oblivion
I can't feel you now
I'm in love with the rhythm
In love with the rhythm
Beautiful oblivion

Turn the music loud I'll drown you out
You cannot kill my peace of mind
There's something 'bout the way
The bass can take the taste of blood away

Symphonies in my head keep me alive
I feel my pulse bumping like a beat I can't deny
Beautiful oblivion

I can't feel you now
I'm in love with the rhythm
In love with the rhythm
Beautiful oblivion
I can't feel you now
I'm in love with the rhythm
In love with the rhythm
Beautiful oblivion

Think I found my cloud nine
Cloud nine
Cloud nine
Think I found my cloud nine
Cloud nine
Cloud nine

I can't feel you now
I'm in love with the rhythm
In love with the rhythm
Beautiful oblivion

Symphonies in my head keep me alive
I feel my pulse bumping like a beat I can't deny
Beautiful oblivion

I can't feel you now
I'm in love with the rhythm
In love with the rhythm
Beautiful oblivion
I can't feel you now
I'm in love with the rhythm
In love with the rhythm
Beautiful oblivion

Think I found my cloud nine
Cloud nine
Cloud nine

Back to: Issues


Beautiful Oblivion is the third and final studio album by American metalcore band Issues, released on October 4, 2019, on Rise Records. It serves as a follow-up to their second studio album, Headspace (2016) and was produced by Howard Benson. The album showcases the group's progression of experimenting with other musical styles and influences, using elements of nu metal, progressive metal and djent, and influences of neo-soul, R&B, funk, electronica and pop. Less than a year following the album's release, lead singer Tyler Carter was fired in relation to allegations of sexual misconduct; the band later announced in late 2023 that they would be breaking up following three farewell shows in 2024.

The album was supported by three singles: "Tapping Out", "Drink About It" and "Flexin'". To promote the album, the band toured as support on American rock band I Prevail's Trauma North American tour and embarked on a headlining 2019 world tour in the US and UK.

After Headspace (2016), Issues began writing sessions for their third studio album. On January 4, 2018, it was revealed that the group had parted ways with original member and unclean vocalist Michael Bohn, thus making the band a four-piece moving forward. Guitarist AJ Rebollo and bass guitarist Skyler Acord subsequently took over screaming vocal duties for future tours, with Rebollo recording unclean vocals on studio performances.

In between tours and recording sessions, lead singer Tyler Carter released his debut solo studio album, Moonshine, in February 2019, and embarked on a solo headlining tour. Tyler Acord, the band's former keyboardist and disc jockey, joined the band's studio sessions once more to program and perform synthesizers.
