lyrics

Currents
An unending turbulence
Drawn away from bliss
By hedonistic nonsense
Prolonging painful consciousness
Enlightenment a Catalyst

Porous
This Whirring Susurrus
Converge, entropy
Escape from swimming upstream
Defiance of existing
Prescience so obsolete

Empty
Transfixed by one's breathing
Failure to commit
Succumb to wretched habits
Nihilistic, selfish
No time in life for betterment

Copious
To be one with oneness
Ceding form and thought
The breaking of Samsara
Transduce the self as Buddha
Eradicate Embodiment

Sentience
Intangible sapience
Lingering memories
Impermeated wellspring
Elucidatr the meaning
Halcyon forever-dreams

Silver
Catalyst severed
Molting carapace
Revealing hollow membranes
Bereft of sense and feeling
Obliterate all sophistry

///
I no longer wish to communicate
I no longer wish to participate
in the collective delusion of the human experience
I will destroy myself
leaving in its place
a mirror breaking beacon

-Digital Primitive
