reflection

reflection
i have come curiously close to the end, down
beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,
defeated, i concede and
move closer
i may find comfort here
i may find peace within the emptiness
how pitiful

it's calling me

and in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
the moon tells me a secret - my confidant
as full and bright as i am
this light is not my own and
a million light reflections pass over me

its source is bright and endless
she resuscitates the hopeless
without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

and as i pull my head out i am without one doubt
don't wanna be down here feeding my narcissism
i must crucify the ego before it's far too late
i pray the light lifts me out
before i pine away

so crucify the ego, before it's far too late
to leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
and you will come to find that we are all one mind
capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable
just let the light touch you
and let the words spill through
and let them pass right through
bringing out our hope and reason
before we pine away
opinion 01: trent is eating it! oh no! what the fuck happened!? maynard now know how trent always feels: depressed and lame. time to go in his self-indulgent pitiful hole.

opinion 02: i swear, he must be talking about something dealing with the bible!

opinion 03: a song about self-reflection and an analytical ambition to understand everything. definately an introverted song. quite possibly one of the best, too. kinda dark and "goth" (i.e. "self-indulgent pitiful hole"), but ultimately great. part two of the twenty minute triadic opus.
