Unknown There's still no answer No sense of continuity Just streaming defeat and acceptance Where the void yells and I scream back To find I've been having arguments with emptiness So back to front projected on a silver screen With my eyes behind blinded by the light That whites out what I'm supposed to see The room is white with shadows grey As I compress out of any dimensionality Neither sticks nor bones Skin like leaves strewn by the wind I own no body but a mind unknown There's noise and static And the fear I feel is my own Everything attracting to a singular point Stretching out into a vortex that tunnels Calling out my name so it can carry my feet I'm afraid of the coming singularity Knowing the floor will be cold So I'll breathe out your name And say a prayer even if I don't believe Through cold I'll walk To let the fraying arms gather me And tether me to the rest of oblivion Where forsaken lay The faded parts of a body that I used to know
