about

I had a dream about growing old and dying alone. This song is about that dream.

lyrics

She stands,
ghost-faced, nails digging,
her clothes defiled;
the tragedy of love revealed.
Like a blind animal,
she meanders through.
Hope becomes miasma.

Twenty other figures with the same
motivations form a line.
Lights flick out.
All questions are forgotten. Enjoyment
is felt.
But it does not exist.

Vision returns. Now nothings is more lonesome
than being awake.
Scratching at her face,
the skin, it, breaks. And the bleeding
begins
another day.
Can this get thrown away?
These taunts of happiness:
Hair and Scent and Perfection
Eternity is laughing. While we talk
of Perfection, Eternity laughs.

Like unpicked fruit, desire
rots. All that once owned beauty
is filth. Unnourishable dirt fills
her garden. There is only this
meaningless
nostalgia and wasted time. She
pours a glass of red wine
and stares at a white wall. This has become
everything. This has become time.

A specter looms,
dark in the blindness. A shade
upon the light. He hovers low.
She holds to fear. He loves her
like the past. She is this.
Nothingness. She is this
Nothingness.

She's better off dead.
