Sparks, Adam Driver, Devyn McDowell, Kamary Phillips - Sympathy for the Abyss (Film Version)

I'll sing these words to you I hope they will ring true They're not some magic chimes To cover up my crimes Annette, of this I'm sure Imagination's strong And reason's song Is weak and thin We don't have long I stood upon a cliff A deep abyss below Compelled to look I tried To fight it off, God knows I tried This horrid urge to look below But half-horrified and half-relieved I cast my eyes toward the abyss The dark abyss I heard a ringing in my ears I knew my death knell's ugly sound The overbearing urge to gaze Into the deep abyss, the haze So strong the yearning for the fall Imagination's strong And reason's song Is weak and thin We don't have long I'll never sing again Shunning all lights at night I'll never sing again Smashing every lamp I see I'll never sing again Living in full darkness I'll never sing again A vampire forever Annette! No No, no Annette No I sang these words to you (can I forgive what you have done?) I hope that they'd ring true (and will I ever forgive mom?) Imagination is so strong (her deadly poison I became) And reason's song is never strong (merely a child to exploit) Imagination is so strong (forgive you both?) And reason's song (forget you both?) So faint and shrill (to take that oath?) I stood above the deep abyss Why should I now forgive? Why should I now forget? I can never forgive! I can never forget! Both of you were using me for your own ends For your own ends Not an ounce of shame The two of you, you're both to blame I wish that both of you were gone Wish you were gone! Wish you were gone! (No don't blame Ann!) Wish you were gone! (Annette that's wrong) Both of you gone! (No don't blame Ann!) But is forgiveness the sole way (this horrid urge to look below) When all has gone so far astray (God knows I tried to fight it off) Extract the poison from one's heart (half-horrified and half-relieved) And from one's soul I can't be sure (I cast my eyes down the abyss) Forgive the two of you or not? I take this oath (sympathy for the dark abyss) Forgive you both? I take this oath (sympathy for the dark abyss) I take this oath Forgive you both? Or forget you both? (don't cast your eyes) I must be strong (down the abyss) I must be strong Time's up! No contact! Now, you have nothing to love Why can't I love you? Can't I love you? Now, you have nothing to love Can't I love you, Annette? No, not really, Daddy, it's sad but it's true Now you have nothing to love Annette, my Annette Never cast your eyes down the abyss Goodbye, Annette Goodbye, Annette Goodbye, Annette Goodbye, Annette Goodbye Stop watching me
