we are all plagued by the same haunting disease. every step on this wearied road is just a step in our prison. esoteric dreams of unchanging bliss are humanity's liturgy. the only steadfast thing in this oxymoronic world is dissatisfaction. we are foundering in it, wishing to drown already. the romantics looked to love, now we look to apathy; but this prison has no escape, except death. so we fell in love with the grim, when fantasy failed us. now we sit here, entranced with the mud but dreaming of beaches. meaningless, meaningless, meaningless. we are the living dead.

imprisoned in dissatisfaction
we are all plagued by the same haunting disease. every step on this wearied road is just a step in our prison. esoteric dreams of unchanging bliss are humanity's liturgy. the only steadfast thing in this oxymoronic world is dissatisfaction. we are foundering in it, wishing to drown already. the romantics looked to love, now we look to apathy; but this prison has no escape, except death. so we fell in love with the grim, when fantasy failed us. now we sit here, entranced with the mud but dreaming of beaches. meaningless, meaningless, meaningless. we are the living dead.
