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 such a (*##$

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


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 vain conceptions
Obliterate each other with impunity

And release the weight of history

[Chorus]


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
(to another abyss)
