This is becoming a pessimists domain
Where The days drag and the night's never end
Swarms of claws crawl from the books
Their fingers tempting me into a pit in which I can’t return
There must be more
Behind each door lies infinite paths
I make a choice
Nihilist illusion to be surpassed
For 40 days
And 40 nights
I wonder
I am lost, seduced by the tempter
Swarms of claws are crawling from the books
Their fingers are tempting me
There must be more
Behind each door lies infinite paths
I make a choice
Nihilist illusion to be surpassed
For 40 days
And 40 nights
I wonder
I am lost
Seduced by the tempter
The gravity of these thoughts
Could crush mountains into dust
For better or worse
I accept this cure
It is a part of me
Stuck in purgatory

Philosophic Purgatory

Purgatory
From Eden until the end
Our knowledge is limited
To be human, controlled or illusion?
Reading endlessly and digging manically
Philosophic purgatory
Trying to complete our story
Philosophic purgatory
Asking questions with no answers
In the abyss sinking faster
Gripping to reality as its fabrics are escaping
Weaving through our hands like sand
To be man is to be stuck in
Purgatory...
…(From Eden) until the end
Our knowledge is limited
To be human
Controlled or illusion?
Reading endlessly and digging maniacally
Philosophic purgatory
From eden to the end
Our knowledge limited
To a story that writes and then re-writes itself
Floating endlessly in
Seas of greater questions
Continually we write and re-write ourselves
Trying to complete our story
Philosophic purgatory
Asking questions with no answers
In the abyss sinking faster
Gripping to reality as its fabrics are escaping
Weaving through our hands like sand
To be man is to be stuck in purgatory

Scrupulous
Running to earth's end
There’s no solution
The candle flickers
So does my sanity
Scrupulosity controlling every single part of me
I have not control over my world
Spiraling into the void
I am lost inside of my own mind
The candle flickers, so does my sanity
Scrupulous
These inquisitions are scratching my mind
Running to earth's end
There’s no solution
The candle flickers
So does my sanity
Scrupulosity controlling every single part of me
I have no control over my world
Spiraling into the void, I am lost
The candle flickers, so does my sanity
Running to earth's end
There’s no solution
The candle flickers
So does my sanity

Engorge and fill your mind
You have no choice
But to consume everything
Engorge
Gorging on information
But it is never filling
I would do anything
For the thoughts to soothe me
Engorge. indulge
With no control
Giving up everything
My own mind and body
Intemperance in my thoughts
The hunger is never ending
Consume, dwindle
Into nothing
Engorge
In the end when the evil had consumed everything they had, and his grave disease needed ever more food, (he) began to tear at his limbs and gnaw them with his teeth, and the unhappy man fed, little by little, on his own body
Gorging on information
Engorge and fill your mind
You have no choice
But to consume everything

Acolyte of Rationality

Acolyte of rationality, light the flame
Commence a sober reality
Elevated, amongst our brothers
For are dictators, re-writing our masterpiece
This pathological uncertainty
And endless soul searching
Seems to have ended in ecstasy
Though the moment may be fleeting
Keep the candle burning
Acolyte, light the flame
Constellations dance
Taking form at my command
Through the eyes of a god I see
Past the linear reality
Acolyte, light the flame
This pathological uncertainty
And endless soul searching
Seems to have ended in ecstasy
Though the moment may be fleeting
Keep the candle burning

Intellectual Incest

Intellectual Incest
There is no wrong without opposition
A senseless fight for the power position
Complete lack of communication
Competing viewpoints crushed and lost
The pendulum swings
And the gavel thrusts
Intellectual Incest
If morality binds - it blinds too
It will conquer and divide you
An echo chamber where no ideas die
Regurgitating our own lies
Extremist teams exist on each side
Take the middle path
Intellectual Incest
Safely secured in an un punctured nest
Contained by your false absolutes
In a never changing world view
Intellectual Incest

Ego deconstruction occurs
The self expands, right and left blur
What are we without our brothers?
Blood of our blood, sons of the son
Alone we will plunder
Finally, illusions surpassed
In groups we are unstoppable
Unified mass, ultra social
Multiple selection formed us
Abide the hive switch or perish
Humans of hivish tendencies
The same color blood, we all bleed
Each of us sons of our mothers
Despite all differences
One in our existence
Entwined by humanness
Finally, illusions surpassed
In groups we are unstoppable
Unified mass, ultra social
The Survival of the fittest
Multiplied by 7 billion
Do not disobey the pack
In blood it's written, the human pact
Leave behind our arrogance
Embrace our common intellect
Evolved as a single unit
Progress or vanish like an insect

Greater Questions
05:31
|

Now I arise, resurrected in knowledge
The candles engulfs, I respond to my calling
Stretching the greater questions
Black and white start to bleed
Into the grey that lies in between
Now I’m alive. conquerer of inquisitions
The candle engulfs, I respond to my calling
Stretching the greater questions
Black and white, they start to bleed
Into the grey that lies in between
Greater Questions
The most beautiful medleys
Embrace and soothe me
Caress me, seduce me
In this epiphany
The greater questions become clear to me

At the peak of understanding
Staring into everything
Resting in a single moment
Where the flame burns eternally
In the pursuit of our purpose
We search for something more
Evolved from our makeup, emerged from our core
The answers lie in everything with a will to survive
Inherent in it’s nature with no explanation why
Engorge...
For forty days and forty nights I wonder…
I light the flame
