The O draws nearer, nearer, nearer— Consuming, consuming, consuming all— Swallowing the world, spitting it out, Redevouring it Black black gray— Swirling swirling swirling mess Time color images thoughts feelings All consumed, all devoured By the gaping maw of O O, O, O The owl hoots in the night And the bats beat their leathery wings Trying to escape the O, O, O The night, the night—O, the night! Dark days, dark days Inside the pit of O— Days dark as night, dark as the heart That has shriveled up, withered, Gray veins pumping sludgy shadows Through an empty husk, Around around around in a circle, No beginning, no end, No strength to break free of that O O O

O
The O draws nearer, nearer, nearer— Consuming, consuming, consuming all— Swallowing the world, spitting it out, Redevouring it Black black gray— Swirling swirling swirling mess Time color images thoughts feelings All consumed, all devoured By the gaping maw of O O, O, O The owl hoots in the night And the bats beat their leathery wings Trying to escape the O, O, O The night, the night—O, the night! Dark days, dark days Inside the pit of O— Days dark as night, dark as the heart That has shriveled up, withered, Gray veins pumping sludgy shadows Through an empty husk, Around around around in a circle, No beginning, no end, No strength to break free of that O O O
