Benjamin Gibbard Oh, Woe lyrics

Oh woe why do you stay
You make me feel this awful way
You fill my heart with your solemn tune
In an endless burning, bluish hue
It's been a basement of a year
And all I want is for you to disappear

Oh woe you caught my eye
I thought that I would give you a try
But you're nothing like the way you look
In all those famous songs and books
And now I see how you snuff the light
And kill the ones who hold you inside

And I can feel you grow in me like a forest of grief
So confound and trying to cut you down
Trying to find the place to begin


Oh woe please hear this plea
To walk away and leave me be
I've weathered more than I can take
Of your ever-present lonely ache
It's been a basement of year
And all I want is for you to disappear

It's been a basement of year
And all I want is for you to disappear
All I want is for you to disappear
