the music instils a sense of hopelessness
another soul washed away
flushed by the sounds of life put through hell
emptiness
filled with darkness
filled with nothing
filling you
overflowing with the black beast
apathy overcomes one
the writing gets smaller
while the world gets larger
solitude focused on the pulsing ache
muted
soulsick and heartsore
introspection is the essence of the individual
but the individual is swallowed
nonentities are gone
merged
melted to-
assimilated within
fused into this metaphysical
dissolved in the amalgamate
mingled with the music
