Th-th-th-the World around-round-round-around fades into the abyss-abyss-abyss.
Ma-ma-ma-my mind starts to stu-stu-stu-stutter.
A-a-and a-a-I see-ee-ee, everything-thing thing you can-can-can not s-s-see.
Th-th-th-the world around-round-round-around fa-fa-fades into the aby-be-be-abys.
Th-the-the world sp-sp-spins-spins faster and fa-faster.
And it gets da-darker and darker.
And it fa-fades away-way-away, all fades away.
The st-sto-storm swa-swallows ev-every-everything uh-up.
"Do you hear that?"
He-he-hear wha-what-what?
"That."
Ev-everything stops.
My mind freezes.
The stutter stops.
I hear that.
That sound, it's silence.
Everything is gone,
devoured by the abyss,
faded into the dark.
I stand, I hear, I watch.
I see what you never saw.
"Can you see me?"
Who are you?
"Ca-ca-can you s-s-seee me?"
Who are you?
"A-a-I'm y-y-you, swa-swa-swallowed by the ab-ab-abyss."
Me?
"It wa-wa-wasn't the world, it was uh-uh-us."
Th-th-the world sp-sp-spins back.
The la-la-light catches up.
And a-a-a-I'm left be-be-behind.
[the picture was acutally found else where, I think it was the artists site, it was months ago, I found it for my computer background, but couldn't remember the site, so used the site I knew had a chance of having it, sorry]
