lyrics

Bouncing back and forth
between this dead earth and
places no one's bothered to name,
eyes open or closed or gone
or gummed over
with sleep that only left you more awake.
The pinking of some failing hull plate,
the drip that echoes in the darkened cargo bay,
the figure floating in the aft passageway,
the hand it draws across its ruined face.

The wolves have never not been at the door.
The door has never not been thrown wide open.

Six months later, a trillion miles away,
while looking for something else you'll find
a note in the log that simply states
"I have no memory of this."
You'll never see those stars again,
you'll never find out what that screaming was.
An easement between the real and the unreal,
the voice of a long-lost god.

The wolves have never not been at the door.
The door has never not been thrown wide open.

We must leave for those who might find this place
and obelisk thusly inscribed:
"Just do every single last fucking thing differently."

The wolves have never not been at the door.
The door has never not been thrown wide open.

"His blue eyes were bulging, glassy, and sightless, and the frantic playing had become a blind, mechanical, unrecognisable orgy that no pen could even suggest." — H.P. Lovecraft, The Music of Erich Zann
