Jonestown - Abyss Lyrics




How I love the calm before the storm, the quick shallow breaths of anticipation!
My mind is a brick wall, eroded by waves of doubt and emotion

Those sweet brief moments, that I was actually living (I once lived).
Born into a dead generation, that was preceded by heroes.

In the throes of nothingness, I pray for my own condemnation.
Without a sense of purpose, my free will demands I cut the binds of existence!

Just human fuel for the next epidemic

I stared into the abyss for so long that it stared back into me.
Look in my eyes and I promise you, you'll see nothing, there's nothing inside me.

Signs and wonders or just shock and awe?
If only God (God) could break down the fourth wall and show me something,
Beyond good and evil.
This life, it seems so futile, like some kind of irony.
Is there any suffering beyond suffering and the weight of its gravity!

Dead meat, 200lbs of condemned flesh

I stared into the abyss for so long that it stared back into me.
I have dwelled in the abyss for so long, I've forgotten me.

Those sweet brief moments, that I was actually living (I once lived).
Born into a dead generation, that was preceded by heroes.
Just human fuel in the shadow of the next epidemic,
Look in my eyes and you'll see nothing but fear, inside of me!

In the throes of nothingness, I pray for my own condemnation.
Without a sense of purpose, my free will demands I cut the binds of existence!
My body tense, my eyes fixed and focused.
My fists clench, fused with the will and love, of my own annihilation!

Breath...
Ache (in), loathe (out), ache (in), loathe (out).
