Not long ago, and yet the image is so vagueI hesitate to label it a memoryThere was a show of local color and I failed to strayCause I had nothing to offer but insufficiencyAnd you know that itâs such a bitchWhen you learn to scratch that itchA blatant fallibilitySooner to some, but eventuallyAll kids pointed in the same directionWhile the human masses and their vain conceptionsObliterate each other with impunityAnd you wonder, âwhatâs in this for me?âTo another abyssTo no availThe search is bound to failTo another abyssTo no availSo long ago I set sailAnd it chills me to the boneThat Iâm so far away from homeTo another abyssSo what should I do now? What should I celebrate?Given finite means and a penchant to depreciateHow can I still avow and depend upon a stateThat cares nothing for my happiness, welfare, or fate?And I know I canât explainThe commotion in my brainLike a terrifying realityDeconstructed but inadequatelyAll gets pointed in the same directionWhile the human masses and their vain conceptionsObliterate each other with impunityAnd release the weight of history[Chorus]So long ago, so long agoâ¦oh, I set sailAnd Iâm struggling on the wayAnd Iâm waiting for the day (to another abyss)And Iâm 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)
