sandpeople - the abyss lyrics

[verse 1]
who are you? survey says status sticks
i swim three laps through each synapsis
with my feet attached to bricks
so when our sh-tty 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
b-tches 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, motherf-cker!)
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?)

[hook]
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

[verse 2]
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 b-tton
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 f-cking 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!)

[hook]

[verse 3]
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 p-ss in bladders
swimming against the current: mainstream
but d-mn 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 60 seconds minutes form
so i waste what’s in my grasp, then miss it when it’s gone

[hook]
