Take Me

Something doesn’t feel quite right
So we danced in fire all night
Then the rains came and washed us down
And the coals gave up on light
I’m feeling like I wasn’t there
Feeling like I just don’t care
now I’m just in the rain
and things will never be the same, oh no
please just come and take me
no don’t try and wake me
please just come and take me
right back to before
walking through the thick black smoke
skies dark, lungs slow we choke
falling to the ground
memories before we broke
remember when i was there
back when i really cared
standing in the sun
before i was to blame
please just come and take me
no don’t try and wake me
please just come and take me
right back to before

The Leech
03:22
|
|||
|
Crawling out the rotting tree
Time to feed on your disease
Led by greed to the throne
Lick your lips, naw the bone
A feast to find in the night
An empty mind with a rabid bite
Smell the blood on the stone
Don’t forget, you’re all alone
You’re all alone
You’re all alone
Creepin round in the shade
Underground and unafraid
Reaching out to find a wound
Break the skin then consume
See a chance double down
Close your eyes feel the crown
Watch it slip on its own
Don’t forget you’re all alone
You’re all alone

Through The Night
03:24
|
|||
|
I’ve got to save myself
From this fall because
I’m going down down down
Every time I turn
It’s not like before
I’ve run a ground
For a minute you can see
If I can still pretend
But this is really how it ends
Where I’m standing you’re just drifting on
Outta sight, I surrender to the night
Through the night
When I step outside
I can start to see
Eyes are wide wide wide
And the clouds that form
No longer seem so grey
On their way way way
For a minute you can see
If I can still pretend
But this is really how it ends
Where I’m standing you’re just drifting on
Outta sight, I surrender to the night
Through the night

Another Life
03:38
|
|||
|
See it once
I say it twice as I
Lay alone
In the dead of night
Shut my eyes
And drift away Can we
really not find another way
So tell me where you are
Are you looking from afar
Is it just a play
Or was there more to say
So Maybe in another life
Another life
We could start again
Maybe in another time
Another time
This won’t be the end
In the night it’s hard to fight
I tend to
come alive in candlelight
In my head it seems to clear
I got to
Understand why you disappear
So tell me where you are
Are you looking from afar
Is it just a play
Or was there more to say
We’re running out of road
A lesson never told
Time won’t let us see
If we will never be
So Maybe in another life
Another life
We could start again
Maybe in another time
Another time
This won’t be the end

Day By Day
03:07
|
|||
|
the threat is real
the room is small
full lockdown
in between these walls
can’t escape my brain
my hearts unchained
the shoes don’t fit
but i’ll check them again
i gotta get up (get up)
and make my day
tidy up the place
as if you’re coming to stay
it makes me lazy
stone cold crazy
being here
without you
yeah i got it bad
i got it real bad
heads all a mess
and it’s driving me mad
i got no sleep
it’s making me weak
roll around the place
and i struggle to speak
the days are long
the nights are short
weeks blur together
and i’m lost in thought
yeah you just don’t care
the cupboard is bare
dance all around me then
then you act unaware
i gotta wake up (wake up)
cos this isn’t real
tie another ribbon
spin me round like a wheel
it make me crazy
how i’ve been lately
being here
without you
yeah i got it bad
i got it real bad
heads all a mess
and it’s driving me mad
i got no sleep
it’s making me weak
roll around the place
and i struggle to speak

Satellite
03:16
|
|||
|
so don’t you tell me i was wrong
don’t you think i’ve heard that song
before
cutting through the atmosphere
right before I disappear
well i’m sat here watching
like a satellite
going round in circles
round until I can magnify
not sure where i’m heading
from this height
looking down for a river
leading to your paradise
been so long since we touched base
i’m just sitting up in space
where it’s neither day or night
and i’m drifting out of sight
well i’m sat here watching
like a satellite
going round in circles
round until I can magnify
not sure where i’m heading
from this height
looking down for a river
leading to your paradise
there’s just no easy way i know
to fill the void way down below
now you’re falling to ground
burning up without a sound
well i’m sat here watching
like a satellite
going round in circles
round until I can magnify
not sure where i’m heading
from this height
looking down for a river
leading to your paradise

Skin
03:23
|
|||
|
rain down
standing near me
as shape of the river swells
pour out
distant lately
with my feet in a broken well
is this the best
we can make it
you know there's fire in the skies
no time to rest
until we take it
I know there's life behind your eyes
my cards out
i'm done in
drop down
on the touch of your skin
my cards out
i'm done in
come round
let's see it begin

Climb
03:38
|
|||
|
i didn’t give it all
whats the fun in laying my soul to bare
without giving time
to let sun
pass through clouds
lighting up the way
to next act of this play
how was i to know
you wouldn’t give the space
it needs to grow
diggin up the seed
freshly buried
down on my knees
waiting in the dirt
to see what could have been
maybe you will find
the rules that you live by
will come to let you down
from time to time
your entry points too high
set way up in the sky
you’re only looking down
when we could be on the climb
we ain’t guna make it
in a guillotine
but we just can’t fake it
even our dreams
we ain’t going nowhere
in no summer sleigh
it coulda been some thing
now we turn away

Alright
04:08
|
|||
|
It feels alright
I can’t deny
It feels alright
It feel alright this time
A message from the moon
It’s heading over to you
Lead the way in the night
Falling into sight
It feels alright
I can’t deny
It feels alright
It feel alright this time
A signal from afar
Makes its way on a star
Lead the way in the night
Falling into sight

Invincible
03:17
|
|||
|
the road ahead is twisted
can’t see through the clouds
the dreams i’ve had are distant
i’m falling to the ground
it’s then i hear the calling
through the broken lands
the past it it lies behind me
the futures in my hand
take another small step
through wind and rain
no one ever got there
without a little pain
gotta keep on moving
when you’ve come so far
take a look above you
it’s written in the stars
I’m invincible
i’m unstoppable
and though the mist has lifted
there’s still a way to go
try to stay committed
or you will never know
gotta keep on moving
when you’ve come so far
take a look above you
it’s written in the stars
I’m invincible
i’m unstoppable

Call The Wolf
03:06
|
|||
|
build it up
to knock it down
burn the house
to earn the crown
seek the truth
so look within
wear it proud
and play to win
this is real
and this is fake
can you tell
if you're awake
call the wolfs
from out the shade
stand alone
and fear the praise
feed the lie
and fall for it
don't decide
then go to quit
it's just the way
it has to be
we all break
and disagree
show me once
tell me twice
time to take
my own advice
sound is lost
in the night
pen to page
and start to write
this and that
that and this
side to side
i can't resist
in the light
in the dark
in the street
or in the park
it can be right
it can be wrong
out of sight
but why prolong
close my mind
switch it off
beathe in deep
and start to cough
feed the lie
and fall for it
don't decide
then go to quit
it's just the way
it has to be
we all break
and disagree

Walk On
02:24
|
|||
|
held back by time
head home no line
walk on by my side
but tell me when to hide
until the clouds turn to grey
we’ve every reason to play
instead you pray
for the rain
now i answer to the sun
and the day has just begun
hope we can align
and pick it up again
it’s lonely in the dark
without your little spark
i want to find a way
to start another day
it felt so real
for a while
a spinning wheel
pulled me under
so leave me there
and you become
just another song

obylx Bristol, UK
Inspired by classic tales of lost souls heading to the wilderness to find purpose, in late 2017 Ollie Johnson created a fictional wanderer called obylx. The music he made would be a reflection on what he had learned. The idea of releasing that music on the first day of each month aims to invite the listener along with him. There is no destination, the only goal is to keep on moving forward. ... more
If you like obylx, you may also like:
supported by 6 fans who also own “Out Of The Woods”
An interesting build-up from the premonitory, thoughtful mysteriousness of "Intro", through the relaxed "Birmingham" and fast-paced but still friendly "Teresina", to the unrelenting factory-interior thump of "Xavier". About my only complaint is the rather abrupt ending.
