Abyss Lyrics

The words still sour on my teeth, when I've already tried to sleep

Still in the makeup, that I couldn't bear to wash off

And you know I meant it when I said I'm a bad friend,

And yet you kept me around, and I bit

But words can expand, just like the universe did

And the next thing I know, you can read all the lines in-between, what I hid

Just like a song on repeat, you know most people, they grow tired of this

And there's an emptiness, that I've tried to fill or replace

And it goes unchanged, so of course you could help

But even when you're next to me, there's still something greater that's missing

And you were just like anyone else

So just as you thought, when you thought you were special

I had let you go off of a cliff at the end of it all

Akin to a bottomless pit, you were too lost to look at the fall

So what happens, when we escape the minds of our hometowns?

Would they have forgotten, cause we were never around?

Might we have grown up, and I would have moved overseas

Terrified of seeing you realize, that you were much wiser than me

And before you would know it, the years go by and what did I miss?

The last time we spoke, you had said that you had wanted me away from your wife and your kids

Often I wondered and I tried to find a place where I couldn't exist

And in I welcomed the abyss
