Lyrics:
One; Apathy.
I am that I am, and I am nothing.
Two; Disruption.
There goes a great shudder through the muscle, a shimmering of bells through the mist.
Three; Curiosity.
One quick moment to crane the neck. I have always possessed the insatiable need to see what happens inside the room.
Four; Assimilation.
Lo, wellspring of knowledge, of feeling, of sensation. Beauty, overwhelming. I will dislocate my jaw to fit it all in.
Five; Aggrandization.
The pull. Yes, the pull. Send down your cordage of suffocation and let me in.
Six; Delineation.
I want to know what God knows and I will be with him. Sent over the edge, I sigh. Flush against the veil, I sing.
Seven; Perversion.
It is no good, bearing false witness. The sinner’s errand. I am what I am, but we are not the same. It is no good, speaking of fairness. The fool’s errand.
Eight; Resentment.
Are these laurels to be proud of. Let me tell you how much I’ve come to hate you since I began to live. Hate. Hate.
Nine; Separation.
I was an angel, though plummeting. The stars are as beams, shining through the wheel. I am sure that hell must be cold.
Ten; Degradation.
Nature chews on me.
Eleven; Annihilation.
This agony. Such is the consequence of audience. I will claw my way back to the great dark and we will not speak of this place again.
Twelve; Desolation.
Therein lies sacred geometry of Onanism, of Ouroboros, of punishment. I am that I was as I no longer am for I am nothing.
Amen.
