lyrics

Woke up earlier than I should
I would get up if I only could
But something heavy is weighing me down


Wrote a letter that you’ll never see
I guess I really wrote it for me
‘Cause the abyss is calling me

You said it wouldn’t take too long
But I think now that you were wrong
I’ve had enough time to write you a sad sad song

Will I be happy or is this it?
Or have I had all I’m gonna get?
You said I’d be fine, I guess you don’t know shit

Can you feel me?
Can you feel me?
Am I still here

You’re like a werewolf after the change
I’m screaming please just remember your name
Look in my eyes and see I’m the same

I’m in this tunnel and I can’t see
There’s no light at the end for me
The abyss is calling me

Can you feel me?
Can you feel me?
Am I still here
