The Abyss

Lyrics

[Chorus:] I stare in the abyss It's staring back at me I'm lost within the depths Of my insanity Forever nothing I am my own enemy And now I face myself And now I face myself I stare in the abyss It's staring back at me I'm lost within the depths Of my insanity Forever nothing I am my own enemy And now I face myself And now I face myself Into the void I stare The blackness overwhelmes the senses But overall I'm feeling nothing You can call me senseless I keep on going in this life because I am relentless You tear me down but I build myself back up Hence this song I wrote when I stared into my own abyss There is no love here, no faith and no accomplishments There's only hatred, I live on self punishment Self flagellation, I hurt myself for the fuck of it (yeah) Don't get it twisted 'cause this ain't another sad song I'm passed all that, I've stood up and I've moved on But I've felt more pain in my life Than any normal person out there By my very own pain I maintain to prove to myself That there's no one up there I take my pain as reassurance that I am alive It keeps me leveled, it gives me reason to survive There is no triumph without tribulation In a nation ruled by Satan My worst enemy is the one I'm facin' [Chorus:] I stare in the abyss It's staring back at me I'm lost within the depths Of my insanity Forever nothing I am my own enemy And now I face myself And now I face myself I stare in the abyss It's staring back at me I'm lost within the depths Of my insanity Forever nothing I am my own enemy And now I face myself And now I face myself Easily I could blame my life on the death of my mother But my life is what it is I'll never ever put the blame on another That shit was fucked up but that is how my story goes That's why I am what I am Why I spit what I spit and I have no soul I'm steadily findin' my path and way into salvation I look in the mirror Tell me why do I see the reflection of Satan Life is nothing more than waiting for your last breath We're born dead but still we wait for our second death The next step in evolution is a simple shadow And life is nothing more than a war And it's up to you to battle And so we go through life envisioning our own deaths The milk is sour from the inside of our mother's breast No nourishment, we die alone, this I must confess So you must face yourself, so you must face yourself [Chorus:] I stare in the abyss It's staring back at me I'm lost within the depths Of my insanity Forever nothing I am my own enemy And now I face myself And now I face myself I stare in the abyss It's staring back at me I'm lost within the depths Of my insanity Forever nothing I am my own enemy And now I face myself And now I face myself
