Lyrics
The Nihilist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am everyman
Torn from the womb
Bathed in copious light
Marched to the staccato beat
Reared artificially
Yet a wolf lies beneath this gown
If you peer down
Corners of the heart conspire
Instinctual, cryptic desires
Swallowed by institution
Preempt our inheritance
While watchful eyes record each footstep
Confer benevolent bondage
But I dare not cede
I will curse the Sun
I am the one
Curse the Sun
I am ancient dust
I am cerebral lust
Condense me
Compress me into solid matter
Molecules harbor
Obscured histories
I am everyman
I am everything
I am nothing
I am
I am not
