Oblivion

Harsh lights in a pub
Amber liquid in my glass
I dance the night away
With a few people that I know
And some that I never will
It’s a crowd where no-one cares
Me neither
So I dance the night away
Embracing a precious few moments
Of oblivion
The music is loud
Loud enough to hurt
Loud enough to drown all thoughts
A couple of hundred limbs
Sweaty…tired…and a little numb
All ready to dance the night away
All ready to drink the aches away
To live for just a few more hours
In blessed nowhere
Without care
Without feeling
Tomorrow will come soon enough.
