The Abyss
Lyrics
By Nightwalk
Throne of Glass
Headed off to college where you always saw you findin' everything that you were always dreamin' about
And then you stumble on an answer that is not a good impresser but there always is that other thing that pulls you on out
Say hello to the world
And goodbye to your thoughts
Shove 'em far to the back
And party till you drop
Never lookin' behind
Only right in the front
This is everything you ever really wanted
(Oh)
You can be the king of your very precious hill
But will that ever be enough to keep you thrilled
I claim this kingdom
You all must join me (ooh)
Say hello to the world
And goodbye to your thoughts
Shove 'em far to the back
And party till you drop
Never lookin' inside
Only left to the right
This is everything you ever really wanted
(Oh)
You can be the king of your very precious hill
But will that ever be enough to keep you thrilled
This is the best way to have fun
The world's too cruel to let them run
This is the best way to have fun
This is everything you ever really wanted
(Oh)
You can be the king of your very precious hill
But will that ever be enough to keep you thrilled
Warrior of Love
I have all I
All that I could ever need
But something's off with me
Why is that man
Giving me this jealousy
Should someone end his glee
Now I have the cause I need
Filling in the empty me
Tear his life apart
He didn't deserve his wealth
All of us do instead
I'm a warrior of love
Slow down what's wrong
This sounds like insanity
And this isn't me, oh no
And I know I can't bring joy from this madness
But it felt so right
Now I have the cause I need
Filling in the empty me
Tear his life apart
He didn't deserve his wealth
All of us do instead
I'm a warrior of love
No one's gonna hold you back
You can do whatever is required until you all have retired
Oh please, don't let me stop you
We're takin' 'em on, they're done
(They're done)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
The Descent
Lies, littered across the floor
But you wouldn't even notice you're too dazed for mental war
Yes, that's what it's come to be
And any time that you engage you're waiting just to speak
Why is all we have to do is wait to be permitted to have thoughts you deem more suitable for pleasing who you want
I'll find a way I'll find a way
Point it right back to you
We'll find a way we'll find a way
If you think it really didn't make sense
probably cause your head was too big to listen
We found a way we found a way
Yes, I can agree with that
Any color thinkin' they are better couldn't be more wrong
Yet, sunlight can vaporize false narratives sooner
Than you
Why is all we have to do is wait to be permitted to have thoughts you deem more suitable for pleasing who you want
Under the table is reality where we are and you ought to be it's not too hard try joining me and open up your mind
I'll find a way I'll find a way
Point it right back to you
We'll find a way we'll find a way
If you think it really didn't make sense
probably cause your head was too big to listen
We found a way we found a way
The Abyss
But we lost to fragility, they won the society
But not the thoughts within our dirty little minds
If it's forbidden, it's just hidden
all for you, all for you, saved for friends
On my way to the corner booth, on my way to the corner booth
I catch a dirty little look from in the dark
But the smoke, it made me choke
From all of you, all of you on my team
You're finding out there is no better way to bring us to the end
You're finding out this is the end
Did it ever occur to you, as you glare from the center booth
That all this power held in one single place
Could easily be turned on you
“What you say is preposterous, and no, they won't
Why would I be targeted like this?
Straight in line with all they preach
You'll be wrong I beseech of you”
When they gather atop the Iron Throne
Deliberate the first to be let go
It's you
It is you
They don't have room for idealistic dreams
Or implementing what you plead
Plead
You're finding out there is no better way to bring us to the end
You're finding out this is the end
You can join us we will help you
Even though you tried to kill us
You can join us we will help you
That is in the past
But you're not the only reason
We would stand up either way though
But you're not the only reason
Only reason
Only reason
You're finding out this is the end
You can join us we will help you
Even though you tried to kill us
You can join us we will help you
That is in the past
But you're not the only reason
We would stand up either way though
But you're not the only reason
Only reason
Only reason
Nightwalk
Now the story's reached it's peak
And the music feels so bleak
It's time to take a pause
And explain my cause
Not the words that came before
Or the words that soon will come
What do I write for
What will I become
I am nothing great
Born to curate
What I appreciate
I take the pieces of my muse
And carefully I fuse
A painting I enjoy
Thoughts have been employed
All songs have been enjoyed
Who can blaze a trail
And not go down in flames and fail
You can't break away from your history
Everything you love
There is nothing wrong with wearing passions on both your sleeves
But as long as it's really you
After many years of work
You may finally truly learn
That every thought you've had
Was from something you've heard
And even though I've said
To be content with that
You should decide to yearn
To be your own man
This mix of blood
This pair of more
Brings sheer panic to the floor
It won't stop, no it won't end
You can't break away from your history
Everything you love
There is nothing wrong with wearing passions on both your sleeves
But as long as it's really you
You can be you
Not because it's popular, it's just true
Ya gotta find you
Even if it isn't lucrative
After many years of work
You may finally truly learn
That every thought you've had
Was from something you've heard
The most important thing of all
Is to ponder all above
I can't encourage more
To go on a Nightwalk
You can't break away from your history
Everything you love
There is nothing wrong with wearing passions on both your sleeves
But as long as it's really you
You can't break away from your history
Everything you love
There is nothing wrong with wearing passions on both your sleeves
But as long as it's really you
Don't kid yourself and go on a Nightwalk
Don't kid yourself and go on a Nightwalk
Don't kid yourself and go on a Nightwalk
Lost Truths
Hey honey I got you a question and I'm prayin' the answer
Isn't everything that everybody's pointin' me to
Can you bare to show me off with pride
With all your pride
And I am not a human and I hope that you knew that
Any day that you decide you want me I will be there
But I'm never chasin' after you
After you
And I'm lost in the silence
And you're lost in the violence
You gotta love me
(oh)
You gotta help me
(oh)
Never in a thousand years did I presume to ever lose you
(oh)
And now that you are listenin' I have endless questions
Do you think that you can handle any that I will give
You don't have to like me but you do
Have to be true
And I'm lost in the silence
And you're lost in the violence
You gotta love me
(oh)
You gotta help me
(oh)
Never in a thousand years did I presume to ever lose you
(oh)
Love me
Help me
Love me
Help me
If you still can't see
The truth is that is me
And I always will be
If you still can't see
The truth is that is me
And I mean literally
And I'm lost in the silence
And you're lost in the violence
You gotta love me
(oh)
You gotta help me
(oh)
Never in a thousand years did I presume to ever lose you
Oh you got to love me
(oh)
Help me
(oh)
Ever lose you
(oh)
Love me
Help me
Love me
Help me
May the Best Idea Win
Don't turn around for just one tick
Or you'll be skewered like a pig
I gladly thank you for your pushing them over to me
Your flaw was your unending greed
I take no pleasure in revenge
But your reign must come to an end
And as you finally topple down from mountains far above
I hope you think of what you've done
There's not a doubt deep in my head
That makes me think you were sincere
Death and ruin come from those who push for it to be
As those who should fight it just flee
Oh it feels so right
Having everybody I know on the same side
Even though we don't agree on much
And I know that when we have won
That we'll be right back to the same petty squabbling but
With an added respect
Your words mean nothing to me now
I doubt they ever truly did
Your actions scream of who you are deep inside
More than your desperate empty speech
Now you are here to beg and plead
But is it really up to me
I'd be no better than you
I have no right to sentence you
Humans are not capable to rule
Though we desire to
We're here to let the best ideas win
One man alone can't choose
Oh it feels so right
Having everybody I know on the same side
Even though we don't agree on much
And I know that when we have won
That we'll be right back to the same petty squabbling but
With an added respect
Oh it feels so right
Having everybody I know on the same side
Even though we don't agree on much
And I know that when we have won
That we'll be right back to the same petty squabbling but
With an added respect
Pressure
I have to choose
Got lots to lose
But can I give it all away
Do I defy
Do I decide
To live the life we all desire
And, I cave under the pressure
I need a louder, faster beat
Don't, I can't overload pleasure
I've discovered that the balance is unique
Pressure
Pressure
I can't hardly even breathe
Pleasure
Pleasure
Will it keep me from my dreams
Don't you want to
Catch my mind with
All your honey
Not the vinegar
Why won't you save me from this everlasting fate
I don't want it all up to me
I have to choose
Got lots to lose
But can I give it all away
Do I defy
Do I decide
To live the life we all desire
And, I cave under the pressure
I need a louder, faster beat
Don't, I can't overload pleasure
I've discovered that the balance is unique
Pressure
Pressure
I can't hardly even breathe
Pleasure
Pleasure
Will it keep me from my dreams
What if the answer was
Right in front of us
I knew all along
Don't pick only one
I have to choose
Got lots to lose
But I won't give it all away
I will defy
I did decide
To live the life
To live the life we all desire
Pleasure
Pleasure
Will it keep me from my dreams
Pressure
Pressure
I can't hardly even breathe
Pleasure
Pleasure
Will it keep me from my dreams
Don't Walk Away
Don't walk away
Say you're walking down the boulevard where you lost your friends and your family
They took it away
Turn back here and stay
But I'm wondering who made it known that you have to rebuild a city in more than a day
That's just me
Don't walk away
And although I can see clearly
I still don't know where to go
I don't know where to begin to clean this up
Is this something I should know
As you're looking through the rubble of your favorite spot in the entire world
A little light catches your eye
And you're flooded with the memory of singing and some dancing by the lake
That's just me
And although I can see clearly
I still don't know where to go
I don't know where to begin to clean this up
Is this something I should know
They prepare you for the fight
They don't prepare you for the life
That is given to you after you have conquered and have won
Sometimes I think it was worth
Living in the pain that was
Because I knew what it was
No way
No that can't be right
It's about much more than now
Even though it's hard at times
I am in control
And I will try to find
A way to build this life
And although I can see clearly
I still don't know where to go
I don't know where to begin to clean this up
Is this something I should know
Show You Want it
I want to know
Where to find another piece to join with me
Oh please suddenly
Whoa
Whoa me off my feet
No we can't stand by
(I'm all alone)
We have to go find
(Someone to know)
I can't just stay
I can't just stay
Nothing could be
Without you wandering round the world
And it won't come to me
Without me taking steps to get
Nothing comes for free, so
Take it suddenly
Hey, Yeah
Before you think that you know very well that something is impossible
(whoa)
No way
Put the time
In for a year or two or three
Or more
No we can't stand by
(I'm all alone)
We have to go find
(Someone to know)
I can't just stay
I can't just stay
Nothing could be
Without you wandering round the world
And it won't come to me
Without me taking steps to get
Nothing comes for free, so
Take it suddenly
Say I want to get me that
Say I want to get me that
Say I want to get me that
Say I want to get me that
Say I want to get me that
Say I want to get me that
Asking will not bring it back
Asking will not bring it back
Say I want to get me that
Say I want to get me that
Asking will not bring it back
Asking will not bring it back
If you want it show us how
If you want it show us how
Much you'll do for it right now
Much you'll do for it right now
Nothing could be
Without you wandering round the world
And it won't come to me
Without me taking steps to get
Nothing comes for free, so
Take it suddenly
Own the Past
The pain is gone now
But all the thoughts remain
You carry baggage
Bring it to more than just a plane
It's not an option, or a question
It's required of a human attraction
But your job is to not let it own you
You can use it to learn
Don't be a slave to the past
Don't listen to your sad self
Use it to help you get past
You're the one in control
Don't be a slave to the past
You must look inward
To truly break these chains
And while you sort out,
All your peers will go insane
It's not an option, or a question
It's required of a human attraction
But your job is to not let it own you
You can use it to learn
Don't be a slave to the past
Don't listen to your sad self
Use it to help you get past
You're the one in control
Don't be a slave to the past
I don't own you
You don't own me
I will learn to
Be deserving
Of a life that
I would die for
And many others
Would desire
I don't own you
You don't own me
I will learn to
Be deserving
Of a life that
I would die for
And many others
Don't be a slave to the past
Don't listen to your sad self
Use it to help you get past
You're the one in control
Don't be a slave to the past
Don't listen to your sad self
Use it to help you get past
You're the one in control
Don't be a slave to the past
Something More
From the back of me
Into the front
I'm sure of who I am inside
That's not the question
Or the answer
It's what do I choose to portray
Go-go-good luck
At guessing
At what your peers will choose
And more frightening
What your idols show
Is everybody glistening
Is everybody fair
When you show what's deep inside will you be scared
Is anybody listening
Does anybody care
It always seems too good to be is it just me
Is everybody glistening
And we're back to where
We'd first begun
But how do we decide what's next
Do we join them
Or desert them
It's what do I choose to portray
P-P-Playing hard to get is not for me
B-B-Being real is vulnerability
I've decided
That's okay with me
Is everybody glistening
Is everybody fair
When you see what's deep inside will a facade be intertwined
Is anybody listening
Does anybody care
It always seems too good to be is it just me
Is everybody glistening
I said that I wanted to be something more
I'm fighting with myself on my knees
I'm certain that I can be something more
I think I found the whole point of life
Is everybody glistening
Is everybody fair
When you show what's deep inside will you be scared
Is anybody listening
Does anybody care
It always seems too good to be is it just me
Let it Begin
We run in circles and bring it right into the top
Look at your history or it will repeat nonstop
Each thing that's happened and that will happen
We have the writing of ways to go about ending the mess
We got a habit of thinking we have to
Reinvent all the ways to save a damsel in distress
And all you feel will end despite your intent
Even your life will be over soon
And as the city will fall to it's knees
Should we even try to fight this war
Not alive
Not a lie
Not alive
Not a lie
We run in circles and bring it right into the start
I've seen the history and I want to my part
Each thing that's happened and that will happen
We have the writing of ways to go about ending the mess
We got a habit of thinking we have to
Reinvent all the ways to save a damsel in distress
And all you feel will end despite your intent
Even your life will be over soon
And as the city will fall to it's knees
We absolutely have to fight this war
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
