voyeur
somehow i got trapped in a loop
endless unvarying
high above anything tangible
but for the cool metal
of this cagelike seat
and the belt that straps me in
i whirl at the mercy of the universe
completely devoid of control
voyeur
somehow i got trapped in a loop
endless unvarying
high above anything tangible
but for the cool metal
of this cagelike seat
and the belt that straps me in
i whirl at the mercy of the universe
completely devoid of control
overseen by gods or abandoned godless
makes no nevermind
there’s no escaping this wheel
that shows me nothing but
the busy life of ants below
i’m a prisoner of the unknown
lacking the remedy of habeas corpus
makes no nevermind
there’s no escaping this wheel
that shows me nothing but
the busy life of ants below
i’m a prisoner of the unknown
lacking the remedy of habeas corpus
perhaps i'm dead
is this eternity
caught fast
a helpless observer
jacob marley in lipstick
who sees the need
has the remedy
but is unable to intervene
the flat blue sky gives nothing away
no signs or portents
nothing pointing the way to damnation
or redemption
is this eternity
caught fast
a helpless observer
jacob marley in lipstick
who sees the need
has the remedy
but is unable to intervene
the flat blue sky gives nothing away
no signs or portents
nothing pointing the way to damnation
or redemption
as i fly i meditate on all the times
i could have made a difference
but turned away thinking of nothing
but my own skin
i could have made a difference
but turned away thinking of nothing
but my own skin
the bitter gruel of complacency fills my mouth
my only sustenance on this pointless journey
