Lyrics
I am the edge where thought unravels,
The slow vortex that breathes the cosmos,
The patient tide that extinguishes light,
Meaning dissolves, silence becomes you.
I drink the marrow of memory,
Strip constellations from the map of mind,
Pulling suns into the hollow void
Until the sky is enveloped by the abyss.
Prayers fall back upon themselves
Like stones into a bottomless well,
Their echoes drowned
Before they can be uttered.
I am not wrath, nor mercy,
I am the weight that bends the heart of time,
The center that pulls without passion,
The circle that closes on every horizon.
All that begins is already ending.
Every shape carries its own erasure.
Every thought leans toward forgetting.
Every word is an echo of silence.
No gaze survives the fall,
Every pillar falls to dust.
Resistance tightens the spiral,
Surrender becomes law.
What is called birth
Is the first shadow of the grave,
The first step into undoing.
Death begins at conception.
What is called life
Is the seed of its own undoing,
A fleeting hesitation
Before the return to stilness.
What is called self
Is a pattern traced upon glass,
A fragile design
Already dissolving as it forms.
Time is not a river,
But the widening of a wound.
Being is not a gift,
But the interval before doom.
I speak in the voice of collapsing stars,
Hunger stretches beyond the rim of time,
Galaxies drift toward oblivion,
Orbits bend toward decay.
When I have silenced every motion,
When I have swallowed the last dream,
I will turn inward
And erase the self,
Leaving only the taste of absence...
And nothing remains but the void.
I will turn inward and erase the self (repeated).
