What a haze everything has become The nausea of being follows me everywhere The old remedies no longer work My self is nothing but the sum of strivings Negating some, I feel as dull as tar water But it is hard to get the cogs to turn again Without answering why I want them to turn When I am exiled back home, my telos dies The mastery disappears The birdsong drowns it And every time Yes every time The unspeakable religion rears its head But this time, it rears to a different ego One embedded in another person But it laughs at the turmoils of such It renders me unable to see it seriously Which makes it impossible to sustain I am tired of the same deliberations So deeply tired. I thought that confronting the unconscious would aid me. But intellectual confrontation is nothing. How can I love myself when I cannot find myself? Only noise and the nausea of being. I pray for the cogs to turn again soon.

Nausea
What a haze everything has become The nausea of being follows me everywhere The old remedies no longer work My self is nothing but the sum of strivings Negating some, I feel as dull as tar water But it is hard to get the cogs to turn again Without answering why I want them to turn When I am exiled back home, my telos dies The mastery disappears The birdsong drowns it And every time Yes every time The unspeakable religion rears its head But this time, it rears to a different ego One embedded in another person But it laughs at the turmoils of such It renders me unable to see it seriously Which makes it impossible to sustain I am tired of the same deliberations So deeply tired. I thought that confronting the unconscious would aid me. But intellectual confrontation is nothing. How can I love myself when I cannot find myself? Only noise and the nausea of being. I pray for the cogs to turn again soon.
