ruin watching embers of the sun sliding down into the dark earth solace i can only be alone solace you have left me alone and i feel torn and i feel tired and i feel sore and i am worn out sadness train tracks and golden dust people will always want to hurt us growing cancer maps of engines fading what this place was meant to be and i feel torn and i feel tired and i feel sore and i am worn out
2.
yes I’m a black hole man I swallow everything I can I screwdrive through your gut I loathe that which I’m not I make things be not what they seem I feed inside your dreams Stars dismember as I scream I can smell your energy I crush crystals of time I make your ego mine I impregnate myself with light I kill the fetus of the night I always scourge for more And I know I won’t die Until I squeeze the timespace core And suck each atom dry I never falter, leave no trace As I erase the universe I’ll sing my chewing song through space My jaw makes gravity reverse Yes I’m a black hole man I murder everything I can I burn your memory I always was and will forever be You can never ever live through me But I’ll keep blowing smoke over your brain sea Your A and B and C Because I’m what you always failed to see inside a mirror inside a mirror inside a mirror inside a mirror inside a mirror

Meatbox 06:39
i wonder why is it still here (my meatbox my meatbox my meatbox) it still moves by inertia (my meatbox my meatbox my meatbox) it floods me with neutrality (my meatbox my meatbox my meatbox) i thought it would die with me (my meatbox my meatbox my meatbox) sometimes it gets excited most of the time it wont sometimes it fools me with trying but those attempts never go past their core i wish it was over but somehow its still not like needles in skin something irritates it i guess its what you call hope

The Question 03:16
It hangs in the air Pulsates in my breath It rolls off my tongue Then dissolves in the earth I see it in clouds When the moon downpours bleach On my hate it would leech As if covered by shrouds Of apostatic regret Of innocent blood unlet Of a shadow of doubt Of a dark little laugh That would clatter my teeth And steal all my words Then breathe with my breath With my permission, of course You whisper cicadas That gnaw on my skin You entertain me with bloodlust Living within sin I may fail to recapture The visions you toss But when you smile and chuckle I see an upside down cross I heard that you fell Off a stairway of stars Then rose in the morning Between Venus and Mars You captured the bluebirds Now they are dead Now you’re petting my brain And the question still burns in my head

The Core 05:52
Stars fade away And I am all torn inside out Stars fade away Extinguished by the cloud Which had been coalescing with my head Since time before I was born And will, long after I am dead Meanwhile I stalk through labyrinths of mirror Of visions, of false prayers, artificial suns I’ll run through dried-out fields and burning cities And endless tunnels of desire for more Until, one day, i take a closer look at my skull And open it, perhaps in hope of seeing something that I haven’t seen before And after wandering through catacombs Of debris, poison, warped reflections I will discover that there is no core.

the sun laughs at me i vomit its kiss philipp is dead then who is this? cities are flooding with liquor and piss piles of bone mountains philipp was this i'm living for nothing i'm the friend you won't miss philipp is dead but then who is this? the box of pandora removed from the skull now there lies an empty space where nothing goes down through the glass darkly needles and beaten in nails still life in motion soul expired and stale satellite losing contact fading away in the black no umbilical cord in the orbit can't hold onto cannot go back tongue torn out from the mouth philipp's hands cut off by the wrist vocal chords dissolved in acid then who's singing this? i look up the night sky then upwards i dive philipp is dead but i will make him alive
