The Abyss Songtext
von Mr. Lif

I landed on the ground, took a look around
He′s nowhere to be found, but without a sound
I stood there silent, engulfed in violence
Embraced by shadows, my mind said "battle!"
Standing in the courtyard right beneath the balcony
Hoping that my lady and her Valkyrie
Should one suggest I be met by death
I'll fight till I got no strength or there′s nothing left
The gate was left to gate to the alleyway
The path where he escaped but did so silently
I could hear wind rustle through the vines
Amidst the dim street lights, the moon shines This type of scene's, stife of seen
True that it might be him but it might be me
Out through the gate I go but kept low
Shift strictly to intuition mode
Cut my eyes left, cut my eyes right
He's not in my eyesight, I′m ready for gunfight
The motherfucker made a dash and moved fast
I licked off a blast and flew right past him
He′s a block away but I could catch him
Face bashin', new course of action
I′m gaining out here without training
Heart started pounding when I saw him blazing


So amazed the ways that life could go
So amazed the ways that life could go
So amazed the ways that life could go
So amazed the ways that life could go
Could go
Could go
Could go
Could go

Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this
Somebody help me cause I′ve found the abyss
Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this
Somebody help me cause I′ve found the abyss

He popped two shots so I thought he was out
Whizzed past my face but I can't stop now
Feeling like a demon, bobbing and weaving
I could've been struck man, I′m lucky to be breathing
Chest heaving, adrenaline rush
Voice inside of my head says "this is too much"
Hesitation, doubt, re-route
It′s not too late for you to be out
You can see now, drop the gun, you've already won
No need to bleed two, you just dropped one
He won′t be back, this is over attack
You just ended a life and you're the owner of that
Had to stop in my tracks and put my back on the wall
If I′m invisible to him then that's the end of the brawl
With such a sudden withdrawal I didn′t know what to think
Then I realized that I survived a walk on the brink
On the edge of destruction, for sure pure panic
The gravity of this turned me to pure manic
I stood there and finally felt fear
I'm sure back at the crib my girl's in tears
I gotta get back but I did so slowly
Along the same path of fury that blurred me
Who heard me? All the neighborhood lights on
Now I hear sirens, remnants of violence
Silence at the core of my mind
As I teleported back to the scene of the crime
Told my girl "I′m here!" Opened the attic door
I assure safety after tragic war
As we embraced she cried, she thought maybe I died
I′m glad that we're alive but a part of me, partially, pardon me
I was barely even present for the hug so please pardon me
My mind beams, stages of dreams
Crazy as it seems, survive by any means
I never really slept well after that night
Sunset now gets me set to fight
And it′s breaking down even my relentless type
And it seems nobody can contest the flight
So I'm waking from nightmares and even though the coast is clear
I fell into my own despair

Somebody help me cause I′m drowning in this
Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss
Somebody help me cause I′m drowning in this
Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss
