To Another Abyss — текст песни (Bad Religion)

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 its such a bitch

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, whats 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 Im 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 cant 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 agooh, I set sail

And Im struggling on the way

And Im waiting for the day (to another abyss)

And Im 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)
