Face the Void
Face the void see it stare back Face the void see what stares back
Is it your indifference? Your mis-placed pride? Illusion of silence curing all? Hoping avoidance would brake down the fall?
Is it your indifference? Is is pure selfishness?
Your shattering shell...
Equation of feeling and fool
I am your guilty conscience your filthy mind superstitions unbound
I am my filthy conscience my quilty mind fantasies unfulfilled
mediocre mindlfulness bourgoise beauty petty pities
Who's behind my mirror
Background info
Second draft for something appearing later on the extremely rare live album (16 ever made, 15 in circulation) The Serpent Rite. The year is 2004, summer.
First draft (Face or Fall) is still partly here, but I have introduced ideas about a voice being somebody’s guilty/filthy conscience and more bashing of the one talked to, in allitteration even. Those additions didn’t work here, but some got used later on. No use letting useful ideas go to waste, I say!
