Lyrics
In Self Ruin
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.
In the chasm of mental decay
At the base of the magnet which heaves you below
Is the allegory of day by day abasement
To which one helplessly gives up themselves
To a lure without a face
Its repulsion is only felt amidst longevity
Thence its scale of hideousness is eventually revealed
On the day of realisation
A hall of fame looks from every angle
With portraits of utter self-contempt
Every one of them placed equidistant
Staring in geometric perfection to taunt and to goad
Their so tantalising eyes are no more than marbles
