The Abyss

Down, down we’re slipping, Sliding into the gloom. The poisons of our choice Didn’t expect us back so soon. Down, down we’re falling, Spinning out of control. Lost souls forgotten; Call off the search patrol. Down, down we’re sinking, Drowning into the night, Temptations once resisted We no longer care to fight. Down, down we’re edging, There’s nothing to stop us now. The mess within consumes us In ways we don’t know how. Down, down we're plummeting, Hurtling into the unknown, Life is just a free fall Into which we all are thrown. Deep, deep down we’re falling, Humanity has loosened the slack. When you’re looking into the abyss Beware when it stares straight back.
