lyrics

As I stare, at this piece, I cannot comprehend what is before me. I cannot bear what I see, staring at what cannot be controlled.

Walking into the grey tunnel of uncertainty, my instincts tell me to fear what I do not understand. Yet my mind tells me to accept. I fail to see the greater picture. Concepts escape me.

My ideals, my thoughts, my opinions thrown into question. What I once held so dear, now meaningless. What I once held so dear, now meaningless, a void unparallel with consciousness.

As I stare at this piece I fear, I fear what I do not understand. My struggle with sanity and truth consuming my mind. My only craving is clarity, a clarity that I cannot grasp. I cower before the sight, the sight of this piece. I question the creator's motives. This piece must be abstract by design.

An internal collapse of catastrophic proportions.
All of mankind will bow before its greatness.
We are all mortals before this piece.
Before this piece.

Abstract by design.
Abstract by mankind.
Never have we existed.
Never have we existed.
Never!
