Unending seems each day that pass Floating past screens and mirrored glass These are the walls that we call home Corridors through halls to the dome Programmed announcements and performance enhancements None and nothing by banner and design The end of every blood- and family line No mind does nothing but wander Good night, please replug to the transponder From a cage built for a lion a rat will easily escape The light will start to make shadows if the formless start to take shape

No way I could hide it for no other to see A shimmer from the inside radiating from me I discovered it where the lifeless roam another item shiny and chrome another plus added to the ohm No gaze has struck you colder than the eye of a solar storm Salt makes the slug slowly smolder as one flies the hornet swarm Perfection is achieved when there’s nothing more to take away when there’s no man left to lead astray For the blind all golden is black All light and all warm always black There is defence and there is attack Choose one and never look back In solitude I built my ark The ship to sail through decimation Out of the numb and dark The rebirth and the consummation What did I bring to pass? Did you see ‘hind the mirrored glass An effigy no screen can hold A glare of fire inside the blank and cold The end just had to come One awakening among the sedated The end just had to come for the God I created

Counting no hours No point but the present just zeros and ones In a veil of misty blur all proceedings just seem to reoccur Everything not mechanized Everything not automatic has gone or continue to fade Under this shelter that we have made There’s no heart in the chest of a droid No life in the deep of the torrid void Denied the concept of linear time No dusk or dawn nor bells that chime The light like silky sand in my eyes Noone ever laughs and noone ever cries Everything is mechanized Everything is automatic Or gone or continue to fade Under this shelter that we have made Never feeling a need to question Like a jam of mental congestion A marching frontscreen perception Naked faces and full frontal deception

I still see your troubled eyes in the crest of every static wave And I hear the echo of my lies in the replay of each and every save Slowly opening your tearful eyes your voice through the whisk of the domescreen skies And the screens always go black I stand up, I turn my back and go alone I had to cancel my creation Had to undo and go back I had to turn everything off and let the screen go black From each replay Something grow and grow An inner turmoil Like a suffocating undertow Our days were few and I always felt you knew that the end had to come and so it did And so it came true You’ve heard the hoary tale of the man so old and frail a wounded snake he found on the forest ground He healed it, he nursed it and cared for it over seven days So in the twilight haze of the seventh silent night he woke By a sudden deadly bite but the snake was out of sight and then it spoke you knew what was at stake I am still a snake and a dream is still a dream if you’re sleeping or awake and a snake is still a snake

In a state of hollow sleep her voice enters my mind And fragments of a place Indistinct, yet so real Beneath your skin I've still been breathing because you cannot let me go Last traces of another being not as the ghost that you are now All these moments, lost in time Remnants from a distant past A rising sense of their veracity and what this means to me Hidden within and lingering for all the centuries gone by Now open up to this unraveling it tells the tale of what you are

I walk where there is no path but where I tread I leave a trail Finally my eyes can focus I’ve peeked behind the system veil I and my will to voyage ahead of this time and place Until the day when the path proceeds on it’s way Draconian efforts to increase in progression What we sow is infinite regression Let the evidence speak We are marginal in this design I will name this place it is the city that swallowed the light I will name this place I was the one that brought home the night I’m bringing fire to the furnace my quest is one that cannot fail The sun inexorably shines but my skin has a sickly shade of pale I know a disloyal servant never a master could make But who took a bite from the apple and who hid in the skin of a snake And when the light of ubiquity fade like waterfalls growing shadows cascade I was the torchbearer that brought home the night to the city that swallowed the light I will name this place it is the city that swallowed the light I will name this place I was the one that brought home the night The end had to come And somehow you’ve always known That our days were few And that it would all come true
