how I long to taste the void
nothing
I just want to leave
where you can't follow me
It's been forever since I've met euphoria
I want to experience that feeling again
just like before
happiness escapes me
someone told me to smile, i lash out
I want something more exciting
I'm just too scared of change
I just want to leave forever
I want nothing to do with living
there is no pleasure in this life
thus I end it
or will I?
I've been searching for so long
looking for a different muse
which wants no part of me
I miss feeling something more
than desperation
everyday I open my eyes
wishing they were shut
I deserve more
I deserve everything
just leave me alone
but don't disappear
am I unhappy
or am I just bored?
excitement reaches for me
corrosive to the touch
fingernails
dirt
years of crawling
the only solution
death

don't look at me
symmetry find me first
imperfect stain
the standard of beauty
I relent it all should belong to me
you swear I'm selfish
I'm just ambitious
overly critical
not nearly enough
I would trade my life
if I could just be so much more in the ground
flesh stripped away
fat trimmed from the vessel
blemishes burned from the flesh
the highest of honors
belongs to me
I thought I told you
not to look at me
not till I am perfect
will these scars fade
remnants of my old flesh still resurface
years of longing now content
years of longing still I want more
sleep doesn't belong to me
until I can wear your skin
it always comes back
memories flood into my head
ugly, I don't want to be
ugly, I don't want them to see
don't look at me
I don't want to be remembered in ugly skin
immortalized in false porcelain
don't look at me

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you!
