I'm resting, resting my head against the nothingness of the ocean of fire
I partake in the universe, empty before the shadow of doubt and
Desire
Desire
This is a realm of the smell of blood and vomit
Blunt and cruel, direct and violent, mistress of suffocation
I think I know what's just happened to me
But I write it with unease
I'm in a dark place, in my own head, now
And I've just arrived here
I'm suffering
I am hereby establishing, engraving
The verses of insanity
This vortex unravels the threads of waking
Into the tiniest bits of nightmare cloth
I'm breaking
Breaking
Down into a living man, yet motionless
Alas! This I must confess
Words are decay, poison
But words, too, are cleansing salves
And I know that I look rather normal
But somewhere in my own head there is a man thrashing around
Subjected to the voice: "You shall evermore be one against the whole herd of pairs"
I burn, I burn
For the lack of a better term
Trampled like a worm
From which I can hardly be
Discerned
The ocean of fire has consumed me
Now the flames fuel me
The elemental instrument of the instrumental element
Thus completes the old descent
I have lost my will unbent
Its absence may disprove me
Declare my existence undone
