I adore the lovely Big Empty.
Absolutely devoid of everything.
Yet so full of possibility,
Thatβs where all the roots lie
The inertia and gravity,
Of every aspiration.
So ripe and full,
Of wondrous new beginnings.
Where wilted trees become fruitful ideas.
Where lust and despise evolves into beauty.
Big Empty, Big Empty.
Big Empty, Big Empty.
Big Empty, Big Empty.
Do you believe in the Big Empty?
I adore the lovely Big Empty.
Absolutely devoid of everything,
Yet so full of possibility
Thatβs where all the roots lie.
The inertia and gravity,
Of every aspiration.
Tear out my eyes.
Tear out my spine.
Thievery of all intellect .
Where hate and fear devolves into beauty
Big Empty, Big Empty.
Big Empty, Big Empty.
Big Empty, Big Empty.
Do you Fear the Big Empty?
Well calculated thoughts,
From the minds of the decrepit.
Descend into mass extermination.
Welcome to the void.

What goes on in my dense head?
Fires distort what I reap to sow.
What goes on?
What goes on?
Skin welded to bone! (x7)
An unlit candle sits under black soot stains charred to the wall. Associated with memories and emotions uninhabitable in the current state of mind. Itβs all a vague idea, a vague state of being.
What goes on in my dense head?
Fires distort what I reap to sow.
If you want my head then take it.
Skin welded to bone!
Skin welded to bone!
Minds of the feeble
Steadied minds of the weak
Take care, for men have...
Reap what they sown!
Reap what they sown!
Sprawled pages lay open to be deciphered
No recollection of the words that muddle the page.
I tend to block those things out.
Lay them to waste
Get them on the page & out of my skull
Let them disappear into the Ether never to be pondered over
Silenced speakers.
Spoken passages.
Silenced speakers!
(unintelligible scream)
Silenced speakers! (x7)

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand.
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
These sensations barely interest me for another day.
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away.
It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand,
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land.
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now.
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow.
What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again.
I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from your friends.
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now.
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know.
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know.
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know.
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling.
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling,
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling.
