lyrics

One moment more,
And the disconnection is complete.
It's been concocting now for hours,
The End is imminent.
Loss of all control.
Internal darkness overwhelms the flickering light of intelligence,
Extinguishes the flame.

Where is the mind now?
Here's the flesh for all to see.
It walks, it talks.

Questions abound.
It seems the same.
It flails, it wails.
But something can't be found.

The higher being seems to have absconded.
Ashamed by its own creation.
And it will only return with a vengeful wrath.
Ashamed of its own creation.

Whatever provocation cannot be justified.
It is weakness in its purest form.
It is the escape we all crave but cannot afford to administer,
Dumb down for the masses.

A temporary cure for intelligence.
A transient repeal from the dredges of life,
Only to return to us with bitterness on its breath,
To cut our Achilles tendons and stand on our necks.
