Bad Religion - To Another Abyss

Not long ago, and yet the image is so vague
I hesitate to label it a memory
There was a show of local color and I felt astray
'cuz I had nothing to offer but insufficiency
And you know that it's a bitch when you learn
To scratch that itch of blatant fallibility -
sooner to some but eventually
All gets pointed in the same direction
While the human masses and their vague conceptions
Obliterate each other with impunity
And you wonder "what's in this for me?"

To another abyss - to no avail
The search is bound to fail
To another abyss - to no avail
So long ago I set sail and it chills me to the bone
That I'm so far away from home
To another abyss
So what should I do now?

What should I celebrate, given finite means
And a penchant to depreciate?
How can I still avow and depend upon a state
That cares nothing for my happiness, welfare or fate?
And I know I can't explain the commotion in my brain
Like a terrifying reality deconstructed but inadequately
All gets pointed in the same direction
While the human masses and their vague conceptions
Obliterate each other with impunity
And release the weight of history

To another abyss - to no avail
The search is bound to fail
To another abyss - to no avail
So long ago I set sail and it chills me to the bone
That I'm so far away from home
To another abyss

So long ago, so long ago
Oh, I set sail

And I’m struggling on the way
And I’m waiting for the day
(to another abyss)
And I’m looking for the way back home
(to another abyss)
So far away
(to another abyss)
So far away
(to another abyss)
(to another abyss)
So far away
(to another abyss)
