**[Intro]**
[Slow, heavy bass drone. The sound of a match striking and then being blown out repeatedly. A dissonant guitar melody starts, slow and mournful.]
**[Verse 1]**
(Impatient, sardonic vocals)
I’ve mastered the art of the entropy of presence
A statistical anomaly, a ghost in the census
I practiced the silence until it became a reflex
Dissolving into the geometry of the mess
I am a variable that cancels itself out
A particle with no purpose, no reason, no route
I’ve been running simulations of vanishing
But the void is just a room that I’m inhabiting.
**[Chorus]**
[Heavy, atmospheric, slow build]
I’m sitting in the thick black air, drowning in the black
Dreaming of the girl with the thick black hair
Maybe she’s thinking of me, maybe she’s not
I’m just a fragment of the past, a clockwork knot
I drink to fill the hole, I drink to fill the void
The veins unwind, the eyelids are destroyed
The darkness fills my empty room, it’s closing in tight
I’m fading into a nightmare of the night.
**[Verse 2]**
[Fast, chaotic rhythm. The guitars switch to a tight, staccato riff.]
The liquor is the only anchor I possess
To keep the abyss from making me its guest
My blood is turning to water, my skin to dust
I’m a supernova that never had the thrust
I tried to be a phantom, a phantom of the night
But I’m just a loser in the middle of the fight
The room is a tomb, the room is a cage
I’m fading into the history of a page.
**[Bridge]**
[Explosion of noise. The drums play a frantic, stuttering pattern. Screaming vocals overlap.]
I practiced the disappearance!
But I’m still here!
I’m still here!
The darkness is a prison!
The darkness is a friend!
I’m sinking in the sofa!
I’m sinking in the trend!
The prophecy was wrong!
The prophecy was wrong!
I’m not a god!
I’m not a king!
I’m just a ghost in a room that is made of nothing!
**[Chorus]**
[Heavy, atmospheric, slow build]
I’m sitting in the thick black air, drowning in the black
Dreaming of the girl with the thick black hair
Maybe she’s thinking of me, maybe she’s not
I’m just a fragment of the past, a clockwork knot
I drink to fill the hole, I drink to fill the void
The veins unwind, the eyelids are destroyed
The darkness fills my empty room, it’s closing in tight
I’m fading into a nightmare of the night.
**[Outro]**
[Slow, sad, instrumental. The sound of a glass hitting a table.]
The darkness fills the room.
The darkness fills the space.
I can’t see anything anymore.
Just the black.
Just the black.
**[Feedback fades to silence]**
