Standard (EADGBE)

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 felt astray

Cause I had nothing to offer but insufficiency

And you know that it's a bitch

 When you learn to scratch that itch

 Of blatant fallibility

 Sooner to some, but eventually

 All gets pointed in the same direction

 While the human masses and their vague conceptions

 Obliterate each other with impunity

 And you wonder, "What's in this for me?"

 To another abyss

 To no avail

 The search is bound to fail

To another abyss

 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

Post Chorus: Play 2x // b=bend // h=hammer on // p=pull off

 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

 Deconstructed but inadequately

 All gets pointed in the same direction

 While the human masses and their vague conceptions

 Obliterate each other with impunity

 and release the weight of history

 To another abyss

 To no avail

 The search is bound to fail

To another abyss

 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 long ago, so long ago

 Oh, I set sail

 And I'm struggling on the way

 And I'm waiting for the day (to another abyss)

 And I'm looking for the way back home (to another abyss)

 So far away (to another abyss)

 So far away (to another abyss)

 (to another abyss)

 So far away

  End on:

(to another abyss)
