Tantalus Lyrics by Dysmorphic Demiurge

As You Hunger for Pardon

2020

Those of us who know the darkness
Long for the hope of the light
Disposable citizenry
I am the consumer of lives
Like getting so close to solving
Some all-important, ancient maze that you can taste the victory
Only to be suddenly flung
Deeper into the abysmal
Mire of doubt and confusion
Knowing well that fear hath torment
The infinite versions of me have created and endured immense pain
Yet I alone am left to mend
Thoughts of you
Breathing in
Ecstasy
Breathing out
All of me
This was always just a dream
Never any substance to my musings
And although I know this
I'll do it all over again
Still, within, I find a drive
To find what lies beyond the dream
Past the veil, I find a black mountain
So, with dread, I find a foothold
And, in hope, I start to climb
Higher, higher, I climb
Past the cloud line into eternity
Where do we go from here?
What lies beyond this void?
Thoughts of you
Breathing in
Ecstasy
Breathing out
All of me
Along the vast, stellar scape
Float numberless reflections
Shining backwards perspectives
Throughout the timeless cosmos
In a soothing vision, I felt myself
Floating through the ether
One step beyond The Pale
In pure delight and peace
With rapturous joy and the misery
Left behind to rot below
Then, as violently as the force that brought about everything
I was ripped below where I now wallow
Deep within the filth and mire
And the truth of constant regret
For my bitter vengeance
Fiery indignation
Neverending torture
Of a life never lived
The worst tragedy is
Having such forbidden knowledge
Only to be locked away
In the slow-fading light of a dream
Those of us who know the darkness
Long for the hope of the light
Disposable citizenry
I am the consumer of lives
This was always just the dream of a condemned, poor vagabond
Never any substance to my deranged musings
And although I still know all of this
I'll do it all over again if for only a brief glimpse
Of the life I almost had
