lyrics

I am apathy. Ever so existential. 
I don’t care for love. I don’t care for life.
 I am; faceless, two-dimensional, emotionless, pathetic.  

Down on Earth all I feel is the distance between my feet and the dirt. 
Hope is all I have. Perseverance is all that exists. 
In the dirt and far from deceased, the seed of life matures yet awaits cultivation. 
No sign of development have I found. Confining fields flourish as I perish.  
I perish.  

My heart is dead.  
Man-made machines pumping blood through these veins, I am powerless.
 Preying on my carelessness. My mind is dead.
 I am yours, for nothing is mine. I will belong to this forever.
 I am yours, I am not mine, forever, forever.  

Dreams collapse. My purpose ends as nothing begins. 
To die without inception.
 Oil and water, darkness and light.
 Purpose slips further into oblivion.
  
Objects I focus on, far from vivid. My pulse becomes harder to detect.  
The eternal semi-conscious state bids no means to end.
 The light centered, my path branches away.
 Halted by ignorance, eroding from incomprehension.

  I create your periphery; I am the border’s line. 
I create your periphery; [I am] the occulting body.  
Eyes upon me that cannot see, cannot focus.
 Look away, look away.
