The Quicksand Of Existing
Navigating the Abyss: Pallbearer's Haunting Reflections on Existence
Lyrics
With every step I take
Expressing cautiousness in every step taken.
I test the ground before
Ensuring the stability of the ground before moving forward.
Since I know
Awareness of surroundings and potential challenges.
That each day
Acknowledging the unfolding of each day.
Uncovers ways to suffocate myself
Reflecting on self-destructive tendencies emerging with time.
I just might breathe my last
Contemplating the possibility of imminent demise.
Before I've sunken down
Facing existential threats before reaching a low point.
My uncertain sight
Uncertainty clouding perception of the path ahead.
Could mask the ground before
Repeating the cautious approach due to uncertain vision.
Hence, I know
Continued awareness of nightly challenges.
That each night
Highlighting the potential for self-paralysis during the night.
Presents a chance to paralyze myself
Facing the consequences of past actions and decisions.
When poison clouds the past
The impact of toxic memories affecting the present.
Before I've sunken down
Encountering existential threats before sinking further.
I know I'm called
Acknowledging a calling to descend into darkness.
To sink below
Embracing the inevitability of sinking below.
By siren song, singing
Being tempted by a siren's song urging surrender.
"Let your struggle go
Siren's call advising to release struggles.
And fill your lungs
Encouragement to fill oneself with the surrounding darkness.
Up to the brim
Filling lungs with the depths of despair.
Join in refrains
Participating in the hymn of a dark, sticky nature.
Of our viscous hymn"
Joining in with the mesmerizing song of the abyss.
As long as I'm alive
Acknowledging the persistence of dark days while alive.
The darker days will always multiply
Dark times continuously multiplying without end.
Ad nauseam, until I've sunken down
Repeating the descent until reaching a profound low.
And down
Further descent into the abyss.
Soon I'll be enveloped by the ground
Anticipating complete envelopment by the ground.
Upon my presence here
Recognition of one's presence amid sinking.
Alight a quicksand shroud
A metaphorical description of sinking as a quicksand shroud.
When I've sunken down
Completion of the descent into darkness.
