Gelid Ascent

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.

You are what parasites evolved from

Still an unanswered question

You are the refused energy from a superior form

Nothing that occurs to you is intended for your involvement

You're an irrelevant effect

Unavoidable, but of low influence

One last thing that you must understand

(To be dead is to be confused, to be mistaken)

You speak to me

Like the anguish of a child doused in flames

Oh, you speak to me

Like the stones that're bashing your skull and brain exposes

Oh it's always been the same

200,000 years of viciousness

The violent art dissolves

A lost, suffering, weak, cracked out species

Oh you speak to me

Like your life was annihilated in space

Oh you speak to me

In a voice that's trite, calm, and impassionate

And yeah, what do you know?

You know nothing of the abuses of everything

The regretedness of abandonment

The dehumanized regress of love

Oh you speak to me
