The look in your eyes, Would bury my life, Behind my back... So... When was the — last time. I felt like this? Fight or flight, As I die in this abyss... (Abyss~) (Abyss~) [Break: tension-filled, bleak and cold, piano becomes sparse, atmosphere darker, every em dash creates a trembling pause and crying breath] It's like we...— Were never meant to be— Didn't you notice? Every time we drifted... Now it feels like...— Everything is bleak... Again...~ [The reverb blooms heavily, psychedelic ambience expands, water and ghostly birds echo in the distance] [Psychedelic Chorus: emotional release, cathartic, highly dark emotive delivery, darker piano, soft nostalgic background synth pad, vocal becomes more fragile and emotional, layered vocals, back vocals] You got me...~ Crying in my sleep...~ As if you're— Torturin' me, In my dreams~— I have yet, To find my peace, Please... Release me...~ [Psychedelic and Emotional Outro - Piano solo, dark melancholic, atmospheric ghostly birds, flowing water, distant air, subtle psychedelic shimmer in the background]
