I can feel the blood pumping inside my head My own life, killing me I harbour another life inside A secret life, placed there by my friend It grows inside, steals my energy It grows inside me I am a vessel Sailing the sea of time I am a vessel Empty, and making a useless noise I am a vessel Of my family I am a vessel I am everything except me I am a million cells A million prisons that enclose my life Trapped like a silent monk Worshipping something I will never see I am nothing but the universe I am all life And nothing Nothing at all I am Therefore I am Therefore I was Before I will be But what will I be? What will I be in the days and years to come? What will I be? And will I ever be free Of the destiny that calls to me? The destiny of long slow death My body falling to pieces And my thoughts dying with every breath I take With every breath I take With every breath I take I come closer I come closer to something I cannot see
