Lyrics
Careless In The Abyss
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.
Razors edge outlines the dead, incisions in my head
Anticipation, the stimulation
To kill the exhilaration
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane
Go insane!
Innate seed
To watch you bleed
A demanding physical need (ooh)
Desecrated eviscerated
Time perpetuated (never without your love)
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oooh
Inert flesh
A bloody tomb
A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution a sadist ritual
Mad intervals of mind residuals
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane
Go insane!
(The way I danced with you)
Ooh, ooh
The way I danced with you ooh
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain (ooh)
As you go insane
Go insane!
