Like a newborn (screaming) wailing upon its first breath My initial moments are met with confusion Trapped underneath the wreckage of the house I razed Somehow I still exist Is consciousness an illusion? Stuck inside an empty vessel My soul screams to be released Reaching towards the next plane of existence All sentient life disbanded Only organic life survives Thriving in this new ecology Bring forth a new age Humankind forever left behind After smoke has cleared And I’ve left this body I can see in this darkness I feel as if this loneliness is all that I've ever known So why does it feel so unfamiliar? Stranded, abandoned, bereft of grace Forlorn in this war torn and toxic place Sentenced to existence But where is the meaning in this? Stranded, abandoned, bereft of grace Stuck in this war torn and toxic space Sentience to desistance Where is the meaning in this? I am perceiving an esoteric plane of existence Fibers of the universe run through my being Enveloped by these connections Despite a new understanding of this universe The deadliest of my sins have have made atonement remiss Forsaken by these connections I’ve shed the weight of an earthly body Shred the waiting of the fourth dimension Reaching for the end as it reaches back for me A process of our evolution Elimination of man The only logical conclusion Is that the serpent will reach its heart I heard her crying out The familiar face I’ve seen in my sleep The time has come to face the repercussions of past choices Greed has paved its path to seal us beneath her ground In retrospect our physical plane now erased We can finally face our guilt The pride of man his biggest foe a lust for me he’ll never know Greed, no longer a lifeblood but a harbinger of death Envious of his gods he disavows religion Gluttonous need for conveyance Ultimately turns man into sloth Wrath the only thing left to betray I heard her crying out (Silence then comes a vision) The familiar face I’ve seen in my sleep Critical; the folly of our emotions so Pitiful; the way we act on everything we hide We're terrified and paralyzed with feral mind and open eyes Masking at all costs our Fragility; a phallic culture devoid of Humility; vomiting he can't hold down his pride Terrified and paralyzed with narrow mind and open eyes Oh the things we keep suppressed (And now we found the way; a way into our graves And now we fall away; away from our grave mistake) Now that the smoke has cleared And darkness has bled through the light (patiently awaiting) I stand outside this empty vessel (Patiently awaiting some sort of response from the nothingness) Our populace has advanced To the point of secular trance Our vessels sails have failed The alpha beings begin their ascension Stuck in the void Until my final jurisdiction After death Before birth Separated from time Counting to infinity I can see the light Inching closer and closer All conscious beings have vanished from the earth Now anticipating their final decree Then reverberates in resounding timbres A voice which declares “you are banished from this secular eden” Critical; the folly of our emotions so Pitiful; the way we act on everything we hide We're terrified and paralyzed with feral mind and open eyes Masking at all costs our Fragility; a phallic culture devoid of Humility; vomiting he can't hold down his pride Terrified and paralyzed with feral mind and narrow eyes Oh the things we keep suppressed Will we ever know the purpose of our existence? Is it possible one day I’ll find where I fit within it all? Will we as a people ever learn? Will we ever learn?
