Abyssal hours of morning <br/> The rising sound of crawling <br/> The stirring of the vermin <br/> That nest within the neurons <br/> No pity or warning <br/> No hunger, but boredom <br/> They begin a ceaseless gnawing <br/> Sprawling through my organs <br/> <br/> Take me <br/> Cousin of death <br/> Graveyard of failure, in daylight at rest <br/> But now I hear them clicking in my dark neurotic depths <br/> And the whole wide world beneath you <br/> Seems a vaunted ugly mess <br/> Eaten from the inside ’til there's only one thing left <br/> <br/> They feed, it grows <br/> I gaze at the unknown <br/> Stare into the abyss, the abyss stares also <br/> Subtle crawlers spin their webs in the space between my bones Rejection <br/> Ageing <br/> Failure <br/> Poverty <br/> Impotence <br/> Dying alone <br/> <br/> Monomania <br/> <br/> Frankenstein's monster <br/> Permanent pariah <br/> A crumbling facade that stole the life of its creator <br/> Born deformed then spurned <br/> There was no evil in the creature <br/> All behaviour is learned <br/> <br/> Take me <br/> Cousin of death <br/> I do not pray for sleep <br/> But to suffer less <br/> Graveyard of failure, in daylight at rest <br/> But now I hear them clicking in my dark neurotic depths <br/> And the whole wide world beneath you <br/> Seems a vaunted ugly mess <br/> Eaten from the inside ’til there's only one thing left <br/> <br/> They feed, it grows <br/> I gaze at the unknown <br/> Stare into the abyss, the abyss stares also <br/> Subtle crawlers spin their webs in the space between my bones <br/> Rejection <br/> Ageing <br/> Failure <br/> Poverty <br/> Impotence <br/> Dying alone <br/> <br/> Obsess, obsess <br/> They're squirming in your chest <br/> Feeding on the parts that you most fucking detest <br/> Gorged and swollen by your inner ugliness <br/> But for all your complication, you’re a simple piece of flesh <br/> My skin is loose and falling <br/> My hair is frayed and dead <br/> Like the moulted skin of Gorgon snakes <br/> Coiled loose around my head <br/> <br/> Monomania <br/> <br/> Obsess, obsess <br/> Forever biting teeth of weakness

Come slowly sober death <br/> As sunlight creeping through <br/> Earth is a warm and beautiful dream <br/> The rest is trying to kill you <br/> <br/> Everything retreating <br/> The void is always eating <br/> Robbing us of form, of purpose, of meaning <br/> Cosmic sea reclaims the land <br/> The holes in my teeth deepen <br/> Nothing cast in matter <br/> Won't buckle or weaken <br/> <br/> We think of ourselves as solutions <br/> The conclusion to evolution <br/> We scuttled in ugly spindle legs <br/> Far longer than we've been humans <br/> Decay <br/> The stoic enforcer <br/> Disease <br/> The outraged revenge <br/> Extinction <br/> The constant wash and foam of subtle change <br/> <br/> Never taking form <br/> Never coming to an end <br/> <br/> Cannibal cosmos, so mechanical <br/> That made the only animal that knows that it will die <br/> Cannibal, only mind and mineral <br/> Permanence is an illusion born from the shortness of our lives <br/> <br/> Triton, doomed moon of Neptune <br/> Dragged backwards to destruction <br/> Fate parallel to humans <br/> If time has an author <br/> We’re its early, single letters <br/> The scrawl of an infant maker who will learn to write better <br/> <br/> Everything retreating <br/> Weak and losing meaning <br/> <br/> Cannibal cosmos, so mechanical <br/> That made the only animal that knows that it will die <br/> Cannibal, only mind and mineral <br/> Permanence is an illusion born from the shortness of our lives <br/> <br/> No matter how certain, how sure, how strong <br/> No matter how certain, how sure, how strong <br/> <br/> Nothing stops the patient sea and none survive the sun <br/> None survive the sun <br/> None survive <br/> <br/> Cannibal cosmos, so mechanical <br/> That made the only animal that knows that it will die <br/> Cannibal, only mind and mineral <br/> Permanence is an illusion born from the shortness of our lives <br/> <br/> As go cattle <br/> So go men <br/> As go worlds <br/> So go men <br/> As go stars <br/> So go men <br/> Not so distant <br/> In the end

It was the shallow entertainers that finally became leaders <br/> <br/> It's the same fucking war that it’s always been <br/> Since life appears in time <br/> Since cells collided and then divided and crawled out of the slime <br/> The skin is smoother, the teeth are flatter <br/> Forward facing eyes, larger brain <br/> Our cities gleam and our lives are easy <br/> But the war remains unchanged <br/> Just like the rats that live in men that feed on guiltless need <br/> And the love that seeks reward of dominance in hierarchy <br/> <br/> Hammer of light <br/> Hold your enemies tight, you need them <br/> The killing blow is just a part of the show <br/> Swing the hammer <br/> Swing the hammer of light <br/> Swing the hammer <br/> You will make the world a better place for yourself <br/> <br/> People look like ants from down here in the spiral that follows death Today's believer is tomorrow’s cynic <br/> And the trend is tomorrow’s backlash <br/> If we're designed that our limbic wires override the prefrontal cortex <br/> <br/> Then how the fuck do you make progress? <br/> Braindead <br/> Life is a boring siege with no obvious enemies <br/> Braindead <br/> So you make them because your weakness needs identity <br/> <br/> Hammer of light <br/> Hold your enemies tight, you need them <br/> The killing blow is just a part of the show <br/> Swing the hammer <br/> Swing the hammer of light <br/> Swing the hammer <br/> You will make the world a better place <br/> You will make the world a better place for yourself <br/> <br/> This is how the world ends <br/> Not by murder but suicide <br/> Not its leaders but its people <br/> Modest conquerors <br/> Quiet evil <br/> <br/> Swing the hammer <br/> Swing the hammer of light <br/> Swing the hammer <br/> Futile acolyte <br/> Hammer of light <br/> Wield your empty might <br/> Hammer of light <br/> Futile acolyte

Why did we make it about us? <br/> A vain ape spun from stardust <br/> That only venerates itself <br/> In tales of purpose <br/> A desolate speck in the gravity net of an average star that's <br/> Burning to death <br/> Our pedestal has crumbled <br/> Our prominence, a myth <br/> <br/> The Great Dying <br/> The abyss rolls on forever <br/> It might not be tomorrow <br/> But it won't be never <br/> Freezing dark <br/> Empty stone <br/> And barren fire <br/> The simplicity the universe desires <br/> <br/> The end of the world <br/> Is not the end of the world <br/> The end of the world <br/> Is not the end <br/> Of the living things upon it <br/> The rest remains in dying orbit <br/> No life left to struggle and feel the sunlight wearing thin <br/> Entropy always wins <br/> <br/> Beyond the fury and the sprawl <br/> A silent world awaits <br/> Everything finally at peace <br/> Everything finally in its place <br/> Look at the stars <br/> And see no sign in the face of nature <br/> Distant like the love of god <br/> Retreating from his total failure <br/> <br/> The Great Dying <br/> Bursting out from sagging wombs to take uncertain forms <br/> Drenched in disorder from the point that it was born <br/> Everything given will be returned <br/> Nothing less, nothing more <br/> <br/> The end of the world <br/> Is not the end of the world <br/> The end of the world <br/> Is not the end <br/> Of the living things upon it <br/> The rest remains in dying orbit <br/> No life left to struggle and feel the sunlight wearing thin <br/> Entropy always wins <br/> <br/> The abyss rolls on <br/> Dreaming its black dream <br/> The abyss rolls on <br/> Dreaming its black dream <br/> The abyss rolls on forever <br/> It might not come tomorrow <br/> But it won't be never

There is only the frantic sculptor <br/> That cannot be satisfied <br/> That never sees its work as finished, perfect or divine <br/> Masterpieces are dead ends <br/> The sculptor would not dare create one <br/> Unconcerned with beauty or function <br/> Just the work to be done <br/> <br/> The hands of time <br/> Will find and bind you <br/> In their rough palms <br/> Without intention <br/> They will crush and redefine you <br/> <br/> Perfection is a dead end <br/> Nothing grows in its limits <br/> The sculptor abhors inertia and vacuum <br/> Creator, destroyer, critic <br/> To those who plummet through history <br/> Death might seem a thief <br/> But there's nothing to steal when there's nothing to own <br/> But the violent and brief <br/> <br/> The hands of time <br/> Will find and bind you <br/> In their rough palms <br/> Without intention <br/> They will crush and redefine you <br/> <br/> Of all the old ideas <br/> The soul is the last one to go <br/> That life is nothing of value is a blinding truth <br/> There is no power or purpose that the sculptor does not destroy <br/> <br/> Cells are left to turn senile <br/> They forget how not to decay <br/> In old age the sun turns to blood and life drifts away <br/> <br/> No tyrants demanding tribute <br/> No shepherds tending to their flocks <br/> No artist that needs us to exalt its creations <br/> No wind <br/> No rudder <br/> No gods <br/> <br/> They were illusions of the daylight <br/> The light of one particular day <br/> They were illusions of the daylight <br/> The light of one particular day <br/> <br/> I see the daylight stretching on forever <br/> I see the genes that will be saved <br/> I am not among them

Power, contentment <br/> The deepest veins of madness <br/> Money chases monument <br/> Like shivers follow laughter <br/> <br/> The rictus grip of a skeletal hand <br/> The coffin king in the seat of command <br/> Why are the corpses making demands? <br/> Necrocracy <br/> <br/> The unending human paradox <br/> To live with sin but without god <br/> Like Rodion Raskolnikov <br/> We always need to be judged <br/> <br/> The men from the west <br/> Fear their transience <br/> There is no god <br/> For our lives to reflect <br/> Light is the head which holds the crown <br/> Who else can stand to wear it? <br/> Just admit that being human is problematic <br/> <br/> Like a botfly hatching in a human brain <br/> A nucleus of rot <br/> Our parasitic past should be excised <br/> Before it causes reason to stop <br/> <br/> Casket cases <br/> The human race is <br/> Shallow, conceited and death fixated <br/> All of our truth is useful delusion <br/> Our archetypes escape execution <br/> Lovers of death <br/> Lovers of death <br/> In spite of ourselves we create monoliths <br/> Power creates <br/> Power creates <br/> A vacuum in the wake of its mistakes <br/> <br/> The men from the west <br/> Fear their transience <br/> There is no god for our lives to reflect <br/> Light is the head which holds the crown <br/> Who else can stand to wear it? <br/> Just admit that being human is problematic <br/> <br/> Are monoliths the answer to our weakness? <br/> Do they cure our incompleteness? <br/> <br/> Consensus, a corpse <br/> Thick with blood and pus <br/> A bloated and distended form that once was us <br/> <br/> The men from the west <br/> Fear their transience <br/> There is no god for our lives to reflect <br/> Light is the head which holds the crown <br/> Who else can stand to wear it? <br/> Just admit that being human is terrifying, and problematic

Why aren't the old screaming? <br/> Don't they feel their bodies cheat them? <br/> Don't they feel the fickle form of flesh <br/> Struggle, trying to leave them? <br/> <br/> Crowded by death on all sides <br/> Why do they expect the future? <br/> Why do so few face age with desire <br/> With wisdom and purpose, fewer? <br/> <br/> You will never be young again <br/> And you are closer to death than you've ever been <br/> You will never feel the tightness make its home between your skin <br/> <br/> The future never arrives <br/> The present only stagnates <br/> And the meat goes sour before it expires <br/> It’s a human thing, to wait <br/> <br/> So many unfinished lives <br/> That dwindle while the body lingers <br/> Drowned in the desert of muscle and sinew <br/> Never finding the fingers <br/> <br/> You will never be young again <br/> And you are closer to death than you've ever been <br/> You will never feel the tightness make its home between your skin <br/> <br/> As above <br/> So below <br/> More behind <br/> Less to go <br/> <br/> My body a bitter seed <br/> I hope the earth chokes <br/> And sprouts a jagged lifeless tree <br/> With a thousand spiders instead of leaves <br/> Time makes failures of us all <br/> <br/> From flesh <br/> To bone <br/> To rock <br/> To dust <br/> To nothing <br/> <br/> “This tired Promethean drama of revolt, defiance and blasphemy goes on forever”

Insects are as complex <br/> As feeding, sex and conquest <br/> Are we really any different? <br/> Just with guilt and larger assets <br/> The process through which mortals strive <br/> To stretch beyond their tiny lives <br/> Is equal whether human need <br/> Or the buzzing of so many flies <br/> <br/> Nephila, alien perfection <br/> Solve our aimless struggle with simple death <br/> No ritual <br/> No kindness <br/> No guilt <br/> No mess <br/> Receive their genes <br/> Remove their heads <br/> <br/> To never face rejection <br/> To never fear regret <br/> To never have to navigate the ugly, cruel politics of sex <br/> Propagate the species <br/> Sacrifice your head <br/> From the jaws of mercy <br/> Comes a bloodless death <br/> Nephila <br/> <br/> Repulsion and attraction <br/> So distant in abstraction <br/> But in the simple spider mind <br/> Separate by fractions <br/> Embedded in an impulse that would overthrow our selfishness <br/> Survival of the genes is the only true success <br/> <br/> Is it instinct that makes us preserve our lives? <br/> Where in the best case we'll grow old enough <br/> To see our best friend die <br/> Before we to fall into the never after <br/> Why linger once you've heard the devil's laughter? <br/> <br/> To never face rejection <br/> To never fear regret <br/> To never have to navigate the ugly, cruel politics of sex <br/> Propagate the species <br/> Sacrifice your head <br/> From the jaws of mercy <br/> Comes a bloodless death <br/> Nephila <br/> <br/> We used to think that love belonged in the stars <br/> A perfect line to god that was distinctly ours <br/> We were wrong <br/> <br/> Beauty has a brutal price <br/> It causes you to never abandon your life <br/> It never seems enough out of reach <br/> Glamour is the death of reason <br/> <br/> Today or tomorrow <br/> Sickness and decay will come to those you love <br/> They never face rejection <br/> They never fear regret <br/> They just make little spiders to escape the tread of death <br/> They propagate the species <br/> They have no politics <br/> You will wish for jaws of mercy <br/> You will wish for bloodless death <br/> Nephila
