What we’ve set up for ourselves is a goal we will never reach
Another branch to climb too far, our resolve can never break
We measure loss not by its impact, but by severity and cost
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
When we gaze into the abyss
What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves
When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
Each plan for our very own longevity and prosperous nature
Subverted long ago as we head for another failure
We don’t look up, we never forgive ourselves
We don’t look up, but for our own reflection
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
When we gaze into the abyss
What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves
When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
Another round amid the chaos of our inner turbulent ideas
Resisted for the longest time, now we dive into further dark
Never look in, could we ever come back again?
Never look in until the time is right
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
When we gaze into the abyss
What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves
When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
A bleaker sun now sets

Neuronal Fire
What we fear that we will never see Beyond the night sky Would come to expose our own black heart Our senses grasp what we don’t know Yet our hold is never enough …
