There is a vantablack spot

Within me you cannot see

I do not remember

When it slipped into me

I disguise it well and I know

That you believe my words

When you return my kindnesses

I know that I have learned well

Yo hide the burden

The veil through which I look

Every day anew

Within the silence I hear a murmur

The echoes of the origin talling to me:

You are just a drop in the ocean,

Grain of sand on it's ground"

When I close my eyes

I see the edge of a cliff

Trivialities of everyday life

Distract me from it

But it comes closer and closer

And lets me feel the insignificance

This growing maelstrom

That's all I still feel

When I can't feel anything at all

Vacuum within Vacuum within

Don't come too close

It might drag you downwards

To the black reefs of melancholy

Vacuum within Vacuum within

My appearance is like the expectation

The pulse of our time

Has made me a shapeshifter

My flesh deludes you with sensitivity

A charade to cover the obscurity

In this cortex the abstinence

Of emotional waves rules

I don't want to show it

Even though I know

That it swallows me up

I told lies upon lies

To build the megaliths of nigredo

You would never see

The core inside me

Not understand the lack of love

The burden of the

Vacuum within Vacuum within

Adverse factors of our time

Made it blossom that which

Swallows every light It's the

Vacuum within Vacuum within

And I see others falling

Off the edge of existence

Am I still standing on the precipice

Or am I already one step further?

Leviathan embrate me

Drag me to the depths

Where every light is swallowed

As in the inside of myself

Here it may dissolve

The vacuum within
