Sandpeople - The Abyss paroles de chanson

paroles de chanson The Abyss - Sandpeople



Survey says status sticks
I swim three laps through each synapsis with my feet attached to bricks
So when our shitty third-world constructed social fabric rips
I'll be treading water with every other iconoclast of fish
That's a glitch in this system of O's and ones
Bitches and clothes and drugs, in the midst of a frozen sun
I still start fires on this earth,
Sparking lighters with this curse
I was given this addiction downward spiraling since birth
And it gets worse for fish kind, and I'd give mine to fix yours
But I'm just as sure I'll be the one that dies in this abyss first (belly up motherfucker)
Best to pray I grow legs and hit dirt
Cause it's safe to say this fish baits a good occasion to get scurred
It goes hook line and sinker, I use my instincts to survive
When blinded by lies cause they look like the keys to true bliss
Well here's a few tips for anyone listening to me:
There's plenty of fish in the sea, but only some finish the dream (know what I mean?)
I'm one step closer on this path that you laid
I'm one breath closer to the last one I'll take
And I rest knowing that in your hands lies my fate
But I'm a little unsure if I'm worth every chance that you gave
I'm one step closer on this path that you laid
I'm one breath closer to the last one I'll take
And I rest just hoping that in your hands lies my fate
But I'm unsure if I deserve to even ask to be saved
I'm a nomad, with no direction or designated section
Walking two parallel pathways trying to make a connection
Expressing myself on etch-a-sketches, cause I'm standing on shaky ground
And as the foundation starts to crumble, I watch high hopes start tumbling down
That rumbling sound you hear is from the belly of the beast
Until he feasts on young minds with ideals of peace
And meal time will never cease
Yeah life's a glutton for its own self-inflicted misery
Press the right button and see a million clones rendition of bigotry
Is it because I hit the dot on the bottom of my question mark
Using my left hand with the utmost of dexterity?
And the day I stopped intoxicating myself with conventional thought
Is when I had what you could call a moment of existentialist clarity
And it's a rarity, in a world where we can see in three dimensions
But so many fucking people are just one-sided
While some blinded by their faith in a system which has more cracks than a wiseguy
The rest just shook, viewing the coming attractions with wide eyes (surprise!)
I'm one step closer on this path that you laid
I'm one breath closer to the last one I'll take
And I rest knowing that in your hands lies my fate
But I'm a little unsure if I'm worth every chance that you gave
I'm one step closer on this path that you laid
I'm one breath closer to the last one I'll take
And I rest just hoping that in your hands lies my fate
But I'm unsure if I deserve to even ask to be saved
While some view life in a luxury box suite, I'm stuck with nose bleed seats
Trying to see my future through binoculars
Not sure if it's success I see, or just a recipe for self-destruction
With something sucking me towards the latter
And as my dreams begin to shatter
I mask my face focus on my task and question if it matters
But this inner sadness is harder to contain than piss in bladders
Swimming against the current: mainstream
But damn this fish done missed his ladder
So they slaughter me to sustain an energy efficient status
Disadvantaged with an image that's been hollowed out by the gram
To the point where a gaping hole trapped in skin is all that I am
You're witnessing the fall of a man never risen
Hence, defying the laws of physics simply by my existence
Distant from the norm, cause giving in is a breeze
But resistance is a storm
That leaves your presence ripped and torn
Like a victim to kids on Christmas morn'
They say time is of the essence, each sixty seconds minutes form
So I waste what's in my grasp, then miss it when it's gone (c'mon)
I'm one step closer on this path that you laid
I'm one breath closer to the last one I'll take
And I rest knowing that in your hands lies my fate
But I'm a little unsure if I'm worth every chance that you gave
I'm one step closer on this path that you laid
I'm one breath closer to the last one I'll take
And I rest just hoping that in your hands lies my fate
But I'm unsure if I deserve to even ask to be saved
