To Another Abyss

Not long ago, and yet the image is so vague I hesitate to label it a memory There was a show of local color and I failed to stray 'Cause I had nothin' to offer but insufficiency And you know that it's a bitch When you learn to scratch that itch A blatant fallibility, sooner to some, but eventually All kids pointed in the same direction While the human ma*ses and their vain conceptions Obliterate each other with impunity And you wonder, what's in this for me To another abyss (To another abyss) To no avail (To no avail) The search is bound to fail To another abyss (To another abyss) To no avail (To no avail) So long ago I set sail And it chills me to the bone That I'm so far away from home To another abyss So what should I do now, what should I celebrate? Given finite means and a penchant to depreciate How can I still avow and depend upon a state That cares nothing for my happiness, welfare, or fate And I know I can't explain, the commotion in my brain Like a terrifying reality, de constructed but inadequately All gets pointed in the same direction While the human ma*ses and their vain conceptions Obliterate each other with impunity, and release the weight of history To another abyss (To another abyss) To no avail (To no avail) The search is bound to fail To another abyss (To another abyss) To no avail (To no avail) So long ago I set sail And it chills me to the bone That I'm so far away from home To another abyss (Ooh ooh) So long ago, so long ago (Ooh ooh) Oh I set sail (Ooh ooh) And I'm struggling on the way (Ooh ooh) And I'm waiting for the day (Ooh ooh) And I'm looking for the way back home (Ooh ooh) (To another abyss) (Ooh ooh) So far away (Ooh ooh) (To another abyss) (Ooh ooh) So far away (Ooh ooh) (To another abyss) (Ooh ooh) (To another abyss) (Ooh ooh) So far away (To another abyss) (Ooh ooh)
