the poems of the cosmos - the loom of time lyrics

life is a fad
and the universe will shed it sooner or later
so scurry about with your hands over your eyes
pretending that we might actually exist

do you create your own meaning just by living your life?
what great authority you must wield
while you’re at it, why not also create a pantheon
full of deities that sympathise with your ideals?

or better yet
elevate yourself, and be your own god
and you’ll be just as much a slave
to all your natural faults
a time will come when all of life will еnd
when everything you’vе ever known will be lost
not a single shred of evidence that you ever existed
or ever did a single thing that you claim to have done

we are the peons of the cosmos
slaves to the whim of an unthinking machine
reactants in a process
reaching equilibrium
where nothing will remain
except sp*ce and heat

in the face of oblivion
we concoct subversive fantasies
like “life is what you make it”
or to exist is an achievement
and we grant ourselves the power
to give meaning to our lives

at some point you will grow weary
of these egomaniacal delusions
and join the chorus of the hollow
on a road to nothingness
but you will take solace
in that at least it was your choice
and then realise it was dictated
as choice does not exist
those neurons fire
and thoughts manifest
because your brain is configured
to produce them
and your brain is configured
because of genetic precursors
built by the conditions
that preceded them

choice is a lie
freedom is a lie
meaning is a lie
your life is a lie
so you close your eyes
and you close your mind
a defence mechanism that keeps you alive

- the loom of time lyrics
