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 nothing to offer but insufficiency And you know that it's a b**ch 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 masses 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 masses 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) So far away(ooh ooh to another abyss ooh ooh) So far away(ooh ooh to another abyss ooh ooh) So far away(to another abyss ooh ooh)
