The Abyss

[Chorus:]
I stare in the abyss
It's staring back at me
I’m lost within the depths
Of my insanity
Forever nothing
I am my own enemy
And now I face myself
And now I face myself
I stare in the abyss
It's staring back at me
I'm lost within the depths
Of my insanity
Forever nothing
I am my own enemy
And now I face myself
And now I face myself

Into the void I stare
The blackness overwhelmes the senses
But overall I’m feeling nothing
You can call me senseless
I keep on going in this life because I am relentless
You tear me down but I build myself back up
Hence this song I wrote when I stared into my own abyss
There is no love here, no faith and no accomplishments
There's only hatred, I live on self punishment
Self flagellation, I hurt myself for the fuck of it (yeah)
Don't get it twisted 'cause this ain't another sad song
I'm passed all that, I've stood up and I've moved on
But I’ve felt more pain in my life
Than any normal person out there
By my very own pain I maintain to prove to myself
That there’s no one up there
I take my pain as reassurance that I am alive
It keeps me leveled, it gives me reason to survive
There is no triumph without tribulation
In a nation ruled by Satan
My worst enemy is the one I'm facin’

[Chorus:]
I stare in the abyss
It's staring back at me
I'm lost within the depths
Of my insanity
Forever nothing
I am my own enemy
And now I face myself
And now I face myself
I stare in the abyss
It's staring back at me
I’m lost within the depths
Of my insanity
Forever nothing
I am my own enemy
And now I face myself
And now I face myself

Easily I could blame my life on the death of my mother
But my life is what it is
I'll never ever put the blame on another
That shit was fucked up but that is how my story goes
That's why I am what I am
Why I spit what I spit and I have no soul
I'm steadily findin' my path and way into salvation
I look in the mirror
Tell me why do I see the reflection of Satan
Life is nothing more than waiting for your last breath
We're born dead but still we wait for our second death
The next step in evolution is a simple shadow
And life is nothing more than a war
And it's up to you to battle
And so we go through life envisioning our own deaths
The milk is sour from the inside of our mother's breast
No nourishment, we die alone, this I must confess
So you must face yourself, so you must face yourself

[Chorus:]
I stare in the abyss
It's staring back at me
I'm lost within the depths
Of my insanity
Forever nothing
I am my own enemy
And now I face myself
And now I face myself
I stare in the abyss
It's staring back at me
I'm lost within the depths
Of my insanity
Forever nothing
I am my own enemy
And now I face myself
And now I face myself
