[Verse 1]

O civilization

I'll miss you when you're gone

And your funny little ways -

The way you bare your teeth all the time

Your retro urban redneck style

Your denial of your endless denial

Spare me the details

The squalid history

[Refrain]

And come and stare into the abyss with me

[Verse 2]

Apocalypse won't be

Bad as you would think -

Well it cancels all your debt

Those photographs that you should not have sent

The job that asks you for bits of your soul

All of that striving and all that ambition -

Open your window and let it all blow free

[Refrain]

And come and stare into the abyss with me

[Bridge]

And we'll all go

Sailing down the Styx into thе past

And if you join the dots between the stars

What you think thеy'll say?

What you think they'll say?

What will they say?

[Outro]

When all your choices have dwindled down to two

I will stare into the abyss

I will stare into the abyss

I will stare into the abyss with you
