lyrics:

osoba

puls topline i narandžaste svetlosti
život ćelija, život nesvesti
samotne u tkivu samosvesnog tela
nadstrukture mesa i sopstva

a poput ćelije u mesu jedinke
pulsira svetlost samotnih zvezda
tužno i dosadno spiralno kruženje
čini tkivo svesti svemira

i nikada se neće promeniti

svestan sebe i svakog svog dela
svemir ipak nije osoba
superstruktura svesti bez sopstva
sama i slobodna od svakog ropstva

nikada se neće promeniti

dok sićušna osoba u keramičkoj sobi
svesna života ćelija koje je cine
svesna superstrukture čiji je deo
slavi svoju najdražu iluziju
svoga sebe

ništa se nikada neće promeniti

prison built of you

our unfortunate lack of means
to experience anything directly
keeps our reality mediated
but makes the media our enemy
for it is clear the world can’t be contained
outside one’s conscious self
but neither can one contain a self
without facing the other, another, a you

dust wouldn’t exist without you
moss wouldn’t exist without you
world wouldn’t exist without you
so would i feel for you now
if prison was shorter than infinite and forever?

data sensory experience provides
proves nothing about containing world
we quantize it, generate bars
cage the chaos into solid mass
dust we touch we accept as the other
moss we caress as you, as another
but we curse the paradox of a self
in a prison built of you
a you

dust wouldn’t exist without you
moss wouldn’t exist without you
world wouldn’t exist without you
so would i feel for you now
if prison was shorter than infinite and forever?

paradox of a self
in prison built of you

stelarna grabljivica

crni par očiju
gleda nas iz kosmosa
crnji od bezdana
crni sprud
crni par očnjaka
vreba nas iz kosmosa
crnji od ambisa
između sazvežđa

centar zlog trougla
persej zmaj andromeda
slepilo radara
crni šum

stelarna grabljivica
crnog tela radijacija
stelarna grabljivica
jata ugljenisana

ugljena zračenja
crno nebo, zemlja crna
boje van kosmosa
nebeska tela proždire cela
čeljustima guta neba
crna, crna kasiopeja

collision

chance of collision with a particle ahead   
time spent in solitary cruising of space comes to an end

with no regrets, await this thing light year in front of me
one zeptogram will intersect with my trajectory

we're both lost particles
too small for gravity
chance of collision
chance of calamity

or chance of a lifetime
if twins we are
to form the system
seed of a star

if twins we are

seed of a star

x ray of dorian gray

it's hard to probe
beyond event horizon
narcissist black hole
becomes endless by sphere inversion

x ray x ray
x ray of dorian gray
x ray of x ray of
x ray of dorian gray

selfcentric just taking
letting out not a particle of light
forever collapsing
under cosmic weight of it's own demise

x ray x ray
x ray of dorian gray
x ray of x ray of
x ray of dorian gray
egoegoegoegoegoegomania

within you

how you built your world
you precious thing
a landscape with no doorway
how you sealed you world hermetically
you’d open up for no one
you ran so long, you ran so far
to hide from sun that’s gray
but there’s no shade to end the day
in titan aluminium sphere
blinded from within by the gray light of your fear
live without the sunlight
gripped by fear
light you dread is within you

unterra

we are all wanderers

through terrain of life and dreams
wandering remains
even those ill and bed ridden
they journey on in their minds
and we never look back
to face the breath that chases us
dread the moment we stop
then jaws gnaw at our necks
like all terrestrial things
we search place to escape teeth

unterra
unterrestrial home
wandering remains
