Analysis of The Abyss
Into the abyss we go
At the bottom we not know
For the sky above we seek
Yet we crawl down to that so deep
We hurry away from which we found
Finding out which made us frown
We care for those whose smiles they bring
We care for those who mean everything
When it is over, complete, and done
Just please know, I am never gone
