​of Montreal
Gratuitous Abysses
[Verse 1]
Am I on the verge of a really big breakthrough or just another meltdown?
Gratuitous abysses
Gratuitous abysses
I've been looking for my friend she became an ocean just to watch me drown
Gratuitous abysses
Gratuitous abysses

[Chorus]
Staying in touch is making us boring, voicelessness is underrated, I think it's dumb and I
Really hate it
I must vilify us to make you special, I know my compass is beyond retrieval, I'm just
'illuminations' and 'flowers of evil'

[Verse 2]
Like a flittering squirming dying insect you got glued to your ceiling
Gratuitous abysses
Gratuitous abysses
I know I'm as rotten as a Chytilovián Daisy but I still got feelings
Gratuitous abysses
Gratuitous abysses

[Verse 3]
Staying connected is making us stupid I want a new grid a swinish fury but since our
Schism it's all so blurry
We're all dolled up for gratuitous abysses you're on her perch and looking sallow
I want to kiss you but you know I'm so shallow
[Chourus]
Staying in touch is making us boring, voicelessness is underrated, I think it's dumb and I
Really hate it
I must vilify us to make you special, I know my compass is beyond retrieval, I'm just
'illuminations' and 'flowers of evil'
