Lyrics The Abyssal Plain - Dawn Ray'd

The Abyssal Plain

Either you and I see too much happiness
Or not enough
I can’t remember what we settled upon
Is it the optimism of certain knowledge
Or our current disappointment
That keeps us running ahead?
I heard that you can never truly see the present
That after the time it takes
The light to hit your brain
Everything you see is already past
This leaves us two options
Do we settle for nostalgia as all we’ll ever process
Or delight in the speed
The winding of times path?
We must stop loosing the pressure valves
Let the shadows grow!
This must never be palatable
Let the shadows grow!
The insipid glare of orthodoxy
Conformity’s unforgiving spotlight
Chases magic to the perimeter line
Leaving darkness as our only adventure
For all the times we’ve been sold out
All the land that’s been let down
For all the families poverty drowns
Let the shadows grow!
