IT’S THE CELESTIAL SPHERES IN RHYTHM WITH ANCIENT FEARS. FROM THE STARS TO THE LAKE COMES THE QUAKE, HEART ACHE. SEASONS DANCE ENCHANTED ACROSS MY WAKE. REACHING OUT MAKING WAY WITH A HANDFUL OF AIR. DON’T FORGET THE PRESSURE BETWEEN YOUR EYES. MY EYES WERE EMPTY. MY EYES WERE EMPTIED. THERE WAS NO NOISE. THE CELESTIAL SPHERES IN RHYTHM WITH ANCIENT FEARS. FROM THE STARS TO THE LAKE COMES THE QUAKE, HEART ACHE. SEASONS DANCE ENCHANTED ACROSS THE SKY. MY EYES. THE ARCHAIC ONE. THE ARCHAIC ONE PRESSES DOWN SYMPATHY CALCULATED IN ECSTASY. REMEMBER, THERE WAS NO NOISE.

SYSTEMATIC, AUTOMATIC, INSTANT CREATION. OH SHINE. I'M THE ABSURD CONSTRUCTOR LET ME CONSTRUCT YA. THE INNOCENT MIND THAT YOU PUSH ASIDE. I'M THE ABSURD CONSTRUCTOR LET ME CONSTRUCT YA. AUTOMATIC, SYSTEMATIC, FICTIONAL CREATION. CREATE, CREATION. YOU FILL MY MIND. PRIMITIVE PARADISE. STEP INSIDE. PRIMITIVE PARADISE.

BELIEF IN GOD IS CHOICE OF PLACE YOU SET IN MIND. DON’T TAKE MY WORDS. TAKE MY…NEVERMIND, NEVERMIND I. SOMETIMES I FLOAT RIGHT OUTSIDE ALL THE LINES I ONCE HAD BEFORE. NEVERMIND THE OLD WAYS. SOMETIME I FLOAT RIGHT OUT MY HEAD. IN SPACE AND TIME. WHAT GLOWING LIGHT? IN SPACE AND TIME. A WASTE OF TIME. A WASTE OF MIND. A WASTE OF TIME. A WASTE OF MY MIND. SOMETIMES I FLOAT RIGHT OUTSIDE ALL THE LIVES I ONCE HAD BEFORE. NEVERMIND MY OLDWAYS. ALL THE LIVES I ONCE HAD BEFORE. NEVERMIND, NEVERMIND I. I’VE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.

Divine

IT WAS TEN IN THE PRIMAL MORNING. I SLIP DOWN THE STREET IN THE SUNSHINE. TOWARDS THE HOUSE IN THE DISTANCE. WHITEWASHED WALLS STOP ME A MINUTE. I PUT ON MY GLOVES AND I OPEN THE DOOR. THE CRIPPLE IS JUST SITTING THERE. FEEL DIVINE WHEN I BLOW OUT MY MIND. I COCK THE GUN AND I SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE. FEEL DIVINE WHEN I BLOW OUT MY MIND. IT WAS TEN IN THE PRIMAL MORNING. BLOOD PULSING THROUGH MY VEINS. KRISHNA AT MY FINGERTIPS. THE SKY WAS RADIANT BUT THERE WAS NO WARMTH. FEEL DIVINE WHEN I BLOW OUT MY MIND. TENTATIVE OUTCRY. PITILESS LIGHT. I PULLED OUT MY GUN AND I SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE. FEEL DIVINE WHEN I BLOW OUT MY MIND.

EVEN IF YOU GO, EVEN IF YOU STAY, I DON'T WANT TO PRAY. EVEN IF YOU CRY, EVEN IF YOU TRY, DOES IT EVER CHANGE? DOESN’T EVER CHANGE. AND EVEN IF YOU GO, EVEN IF YOU STAY, I DON'T WANT TO PRAY. STOP REFLECTING, START REJECTING. STOP. I'M IMMERSED, I'M THE CURSE, I'M IMMERSED. YOU'RE MY PAIN, YOU'RE MY GAIN. EVEN IF YOU GO, EVEN IF YOU STAY, I DON'T WANT TO PRAY. YOU'RE MY GAIN.

I'M THE TIME MASK. I'M THE STAINED GLASS. DIVIDED BY THE CURRENT APPARITION. A TEMPORAL GLIMPSE AT PERFECTION. I'M DYING. I'M DYING FOR THE TIME AT HAND YEAH. I DISINTEGRATE. IT’S THE UNIVERSE. DIVIDED BY THE CURRENT APPARITION. A TEMPORAL GLIMPSE AT PERFECTION. ACCEPTANCE, ACCEPTANCE IS FREEDOM NOW. IT'S FREEDOM NOW. AND I'M THE TIME MASK, I'M THE STAINED GLASS. I'M THE VIBRATIONS.

YOU VANISH FROM MY MIND. I MISS THE OVERWHELMING SKY. WHOSE TRAGEDY BOMBARDS MY EYES. DISTRACTION, ENCHAINMENT, ENCHANTMENT, ENCHAINMENT. TRAPPED IN A LOOP OF ENDLESS ASPIRATION, LOST IN A WHIRL OF ENDLESS CONFRONTATION. YOU VANISH FROM MY MIND. CAST ASIDE FROM THE CROOKED SKY. WHOSE TRAGEDY BOMBARDS MY EYES. DISTRACTION, ENCHAINMENT, ENCHANTMENT, ENCHAINMENT. WHO VOILENTLY SPITS ME OUT FROM ANXIETYS OCCASIONAL CLARITY. CLARITY, QUIT HOLDING ON TO THE EDGE I GUESS. DISTRACTION ENCHAINMENT, I'M HOLDING ON TO THE DECK. WHO VIOLENTLY SPITS ME OUT FROM ANXIETY’S OCCASIONAL CLARITY.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED, YOU SAID YOU WANTED WHAT YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET. AND YOU'RE CHASING YOURSELF IN THE DARK. IT DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE, ANY CENTS. I HAVE NONE LEFT TO SPARE. FUCK YOU AND YOUR TREASON, ALL THE REST WILL COME IN THREES. I'D KNOW WE WOULD MAKE IT THERE IF HEAVEN WOULD MELT. AND THEN I'D KNOW THAT GOD WAS A COCKROACH YEAH. KARMA. I WOULD LIVE MY LIFE AS A CHILD. I WOULD LIVE MY LIFE WITH THIS APPLE IN MY HEAD, IT'S IN MY HEAD. IT'S SO DARK WHEN IT'S PALE YELLOW. KARMA. CONGESTION, YOU'RE CONGESTED WITH THE ANSWERS FROM THE ANCIENT ANCIENT SIN THAT MY FATHER DID WIN. WAITING FOR THE ONE, I’M WAITING FOR THE ONE. YOU’LL BE THERE. WHEN YOU GET TO THE END YOU'LL FIND YOU JUST BEGIN. IF YOU'RE AFRAID TO DIE THEN YOU'RE AFRAID OF LIFE. WHEN YOU GET TO THE END YOU'LL FIND YOU JUST BEGIN. KARMA. I KNOW THAT WE WOULD MAKE IT THERE IF HEAVEN WOULD MELT. ALL OVER MY HAND, AND YOU SEE ME CRYIN. YOU'LL BE THERE. KARMA. I'VE BEEN WRONG, I'VE BEEN WRONGED BEFORE. DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT FOR BREAKFAST? IT'S THE HEART OF A VIRGIN! KARMA, FUCK YEAH.
