Stephin Merritt - This Abyss (from “The Ersatz Elevator”) lyrics

This abyss, this lightless void This abyss of world destroyed This abyss, all deep, all wide This abyss of being denied Even in the darkest forest Fireflies are flickering But not in this abyss of black increase This abyss, without surcease Even in the deepest ocean There's a little moonlight But not in this abyss of night unbound This abyss, without a sound Even in your bedroom shadows There is something moving But not in this abyss, this all-below This abyss, this d**h, this "no"
