Nothing so profound as that of a spur of the imagination
Of the flicker of hope endorsed by the natural cause of existence
So fickle and fleeting, though chaste in its own sort of way
It's humiliating, really, as they leave me naked and cold
Desolation becomes of every empty moment, and all the more exhausting
You are nothing but an allusion to the very thing I hate
The very same as everyone else who walks this flooded path
Can you see the figures making smaller figures?
Recording and repeating the very same words over and over again?
Nothing so profound as the fugue I enter once I play that song
For the thousandth or the millionth time
Though the silence suits me so much better
I am a glutton for those kinds of precocious dances, the ones you always see
You are all the same if you truly allow yourself to see
Could it really be so bad? So unbecoming to share in this fundamental truth?
We are all this existence has to offer and still tell one another that it is not enough
Nothing is ever enough for you, you scorched and bitter stone
You beseech of those who lie beneath you, crawling in the mud you made
I can wipe the earth from my eyes enough to know who to give my scorn
But you make it look so beautiful, so angelic and righteous
When one is so far mocking it is more detrimental to the other
I cannot help but be the fall of your precarious ledges
Nothing so profound as the eye that perceives the underneath
The core of the heart of the system, the center of the labyrinth of the mind
The unicursal attributes of life so very forthcoming and unassuming
How has it all come to be placed on that pedestal, towering so far beyond?
There is nothing that profound which cannot be assumed
In the crevices of the Earth, in the eyes of the soul, in the numbers of the plain
Anything you could ever bestow upon my being is already buried with my existence
Uncover what you will, inspire what you will
But you are all the same, but we are all the same no matter what you believe
And truly, so absolutely, it is nothing so profound.
