abyss (eclipseee) - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

The silence here is deafening, a hollow, ringing sound

No light has ever reached this deep, beneath the ground

I whisper to the emptiness, but no one hears a thing

Just the echo of my voice, a broken, rusted string

The pressure cracks the porcelain, the fragile shell I keep

A promise that the darkness makes before it pulls me deep

And I'm staring down the abyss, and the abyss starеs into me

We are old acquaintancеs, it's familiarity I see

It whispers all my failures in a language that I know

And offers me the comfort of the everlasting low

There's no fight left inside me, no will to seek the sun

This downward pull is gravity, my race is long since run

So let the void come claim me, let the shadows take my hand

This is not a surrender, it's the final, quiet stand

In the abyss I see myself, and finally understand

I built my walls from fractured glass and memories of pain

Each one a shining, sharp reminder left by rain

That fell like needles from a sky that never called my name

A constant, cold reminder that I'm the one to blame

I wore a mask of normalcy, a perfect, painted face

But every smile was just a step, a move to keep my place

Now the paint is peeling off, it's crumbling to dust

Revealing all the nothingness, the decay and the rust

And I'm staring down the abyss, and the abyss stares into me
