lyrics

No one else
there’s nothing else
but me
one experience and that’s mine
none of you is true and none of it matters
simulacrums of my mind
artefacts of a mean deity
and once it’s over
it’s all gone
none of it persists
without me
it’s darkness and silence
and the world has never been

None of you is real
projections of my mind
I’m the only one
to ever see this reality of mine
myself the only sentient

Never let pain become an alibi

A cold sidereal awareness
the realisation that none of this, none of you is true
that I’m the only experiencing this dream
and back to nothingness
before even God was born
before darkness had encompassed all creation

Let not pain be an alibi
for your need of warmth
this earth is cold
and small
and short to your ageing self

All of this is for me
and none of you is true
none of it will fall once it’s over
it will just be back to nothingness
to what has never been
the suspension of disbelief

Never let pain be an alibi
