In the dark before dreamless sleep
Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze
Throws you in the dark
Happiness it won't last long
And this child behind stores it all
The failed man's curse and the cost
Of noncholance
Thank you sly watchful gene
A plastic life up my sleeve
If you've followed this far you've realised nothing
Now your world is here
Watch it disappear
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
And it all plays out
And it always comes around
The message fades but the mess prevails
You reckless thing leaving you in our hands
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
All we have is this chance called memory
Here we are bending feet In the dark before dreamless sleep Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze Throws you in the dark Happiness it won't last long And this child behind stores it all The failed man's curse and the cost Of noncholance Thank you sly watchful gene A plastic life up my sleeve If you've followed this far you've realised nothing Now your world is here Watch it disappear Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me And it all plays out And it always comes around The message fades but the mess prevails You reckless thing leaving you in our hands Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me All we have is this chance called memory Explain Request ×
