From Within

The seed has been planted,
Not known how or when,
It has been germinated.
It has grown
Crawling painfully in this mire…
searching for its way,
Hardly moving forward.
Getting out
Out of the viscous fluids
that suck it back.
In this pulsating and weeping maze, it’s crawling.
Suffocating and sinking
it’s aiming to break free.
A narrow and chaotic path
(but) its will is strong.
Beyond the thin membrane
Muffled voices can be heard
These voices are calling
Like a lighthouse in the night
Just behind this glowing carnal barrier.
I have to restrain it, but it is outcropping,
Pushing, forcing it
the last bastion
that maintains it inside.
It’s more and more fragile
And my will is strong… For how long?
There is something crawling inside of me
A gloomy impulse of death, torture and murder
And I am afraid that soon, it will find a way out.
Now it’s never really far from the surface,
Dim lights and shapeless bodies are moving
From within
The seed has been planted,
Not known how or when,
It has been germinated.
It has grown
Crawling painfully in this mire…
searching for its way,
Hardly moving forward.
Getting out
Out of the viscous fluids
that suck it back.
In this pulsating and weeping maze, it’s crawling.
Suffocating and sinking
it’s aiming to break free.
A narrow and chaotic path
(but) its will is strong.

To The Lowest End
04:38

Sinking into
this blue abyss…
Liquid surrounds me
Aquatic life is
rambling around
without paying attention
Even though my visual
field is so restricted
Light reduces while pressure increases
Space seems so limitless
I try to gaze downward…
But I am overwhelmed
There is no end in sight
I am sinking deeper
This place is so vast
and however dark
Through the seclusion
until the invisible bottom
Lifeforms are now absurd.
Shapeless… Luminescent… dreadful
Like from another world.
It seems that the surface isn’t existing anymore,
As a vanishing memory confused with a dream that dissolves in space
I’m not sure if what I see is real
Or the product of a failure in my mashed brain…
Visions are more and more abstract
as I
sink into
these dark
blue deeps
Everything
is so silent
Blind figures stare
at me
I have reached the ultimate
bottom of my own abyss,
Sinking into
this blue abyss…
Liquid surrounds me
I stayed too long
I cannot return
But I am now
at my innermost

Beyond Thought

Restrain the feelings
The fear and the joy
The anger and the bliss
Numb all the thoughts
Escape the flesh
No more pain nor pleasure
Disconnect the five senses
Bury all sensations
Silence
Restrain the feelings
The fear and the joy
The anger and the bliss
Numb all the thoughts
Escape the flesh
No more pain nor pleasure
Disconnect the five senses
Bury all sensations
Just breathing
And heartbeat
Empty your mind
and dissolve in space
Forget the past
Ignore the present
Do not envisage
your own future
Leave it all behind
Become a vessel
And embrace…
nothingness
Stop the train of thought
To reach the void
And embrace…
nothingness
Just breathing
And heartbeat
I’m living
in seclusion
I’m far away
from myself
Leave it all behind
Become a vessel
And embrace…
Stop the train of thought
To reach the void
And embrace…
nothingness

Somewhere Else
05:19
|

Existence is painful and
They’re not aware of that
How could it be different?
They only know the suffering
of enslavement
And it becomes the standard.
They forgot their past The fathers
of their fathers Have been abducted
How could it be different?
They only know being
tied up, This is their reality
They travelled far beyond the stars they used to know
In this place where
individuality is lost
They forgot their past
In this abandoned place
all seems lost
The only thing that remains
Is a blurry intuition
That they could have lived another life
That they were intended for something else
somewhere else
The architects of their subservience
Have established
the rules Of their
miserable existence They obscured
their minds and depleted their will
Until only remains
The acceptance.
