lyrics

fell everything unhinged then entropy collapsed
down on this hallway where nothing is romanced
where dimensions are less than infinite drill
know that I am not here, but deep under nil

the absence of light sparked fable tales
of a tunnel presenting itself from behind silk veils
no more involved in illusion than before
I impassively wander through every open door
to discover that creation is imperfection
death - liberation
that all acts of man are for petty preservation
of the lies that false egos implant in us
fueling destruction through an insatiable lust
so that we cling and cry but never ask why
only damn our condition and neglect open skies
so that our gift is a curse when the cup is not full
still knowing that anything less is too much for one soul

riddles and metaphors could never conceal
the hideous face of a fear this real
and meaning just that, no more or less
we are all empty space
waiting
vacant

the grind, the law, the drive for all
will never fill the gaping maw
that drives us all into an empty end
with blackened hearts and bloodied hands

and the games we play to count down the days
that we've been given but take for granted
are used to wait, but not to ponder
they're used to sink and fall but not to wonder
if there is a problem with any of the definitions at hand
of the truth we knew before divisions grew

three stones in hand, so the vision spoke
in dark places of the mind so be beauty evoked

interpretations ran scarce because resources were limited
to what was in reach of a web thus conditioned
