Creature From The Black Hole Lagoon

Breaching the surface

Gasping for air

Surrounded by the most surreal misfits and minstrels 

We shared a vision

For but an instant 

Countless voices in cacophonous polyphony

The intangible inclination

The singularity before the big bang

Inverse expansion 

Years spent trying to recoalesce 

We raced towards that pestilent mirage 

Like it was full of candy and fame

And one by one

All my favorite freaks fell out of frame 

Went for a dip in the black lagoon

And drowned in a holographic world

As I sunk, everything above shrank past the event horizon

You cannot define what you cant describe 

You cannot advance if youre not aligned

The light I saw was nothing special, just background radiation 

When some people leave their body 

They find nirvana 

Become one with everything

Whatever the hell that may be

Guess I wasn't quite so lucky 

Experienced having never existed at all 

No shred of sentience

No time, no colour, just absence 

A whole non-linear lifetime later 

Rubbed my eyes and saw the room pixelated and burning

This'll have to make do for now 

I filled those holes in with kaleidoscopic patterns

And woke up at the start of this song

(What time is it?

How long was I out for?)

Went for a dip in the black lagoon

And drowned in a holographic world

As I sunk, everything I loved shrank past the event horizon

You cannot attain what you cant actualize

You cannot retain what you dont realize

The light I saw was nothing special,

Just the cosmic microwave background radiation
