Lyrics

Gratuitous Abysses

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Am I on the verge of a really big breakthrough

Or just another meltdown?

Gratuitous abysses

I've been looking for my friend

She became an ocean just to watch me drown

Gratuitous abysses

Staying in touch is making us boring, voicelessness is underrated

I think it's dumb and I really hate it

I must vilify us to make you special

I know my compass is beyond retrieval

I'm just Illuminations and flowers of evil

Like a flittering squirming dying insect

You got glued to your ceiling

Gratuitous abysses

I know I'm as rotten as a Chytilovián Daisy

But I still got feelings

Gratuitous abysses

Staying connected is making us stupid

I want a new grid a swinish fury but since our

Schism it's all so blurry

We're all dolled up for gratuitous abysses

You're on her perch and looking sallow I

Want to kiss you but you know I'm so shallow

Staying in touch is making us boring

Voicelessness is underrated

I think it's dumb and I

Really hate it

I must vilify us to make you special

I know my compass is beyond retrieval

I'm just Illuminations and flowers of evil
