welcome-to-the--abyss

[welcome-to-the--abyss]

Suffocating on a cloud

I’m suffocating on a cloud

As I choke-choke

The air up here is thin

The air up here makes my lungs cave in.

My words stumble

And I tumble

Trying to keep afloat.

I’m suffocating on a cloud,

And it’s terrifying

[welcome-to-the--abyss]

The abyss I call, home

Do you hear the abyss?

Do you hear the waves crashing against the rocks?

Do you hear the leaves turning themselves with the wind?

Do you hear it?

That is the sound of the abyss, that calls me home.
