Imagine a darkness
So deep
A labyrinthine abyss
In which you must surrender
To psychosis
To escape
Just keep swimming
Escapé
It's all coming back to you now
You'll need this
What was once a black shroud
Now kaleidoscopic
A single stomach-encased butterfly
To a flock of hundreds
What, the flock?
I thought that was sheep
Stop counting
Revisit them after a good sleep
Now wake into paralysis
Are you sure that you're dreaming?
You must be
To just think there is
An absence of colour here
Overcome your fears
And view this spectrum
From a different angle
Learn the lesson that
The lack of love's too hot to handle
Your hands'll smoulder inside oven mitts
As long as you believe
The lack of love is bliss
Honestly, it's dumb as shit
So turn manure into a new growth
Conquer fear and choose hope
Love a queer and show that
You are capable of being kind
But only if you feel inclined
Otherwise, just
Mind your own self-employment enterprise
Ignore the colours
Let them die
You'll be who is left inside
See the light or step aside
And live in fear of pesticidal mania
With voices crawling in your mind
Seeping through the crania
Of those who opt for solemn sabotage over a saviour
So rest in stagnation
As they call on you to harvest your essence
Or feel your heart
And join us in calling this darkness
'Pearlescence'
