looking to pictures I carry inside
stuck to my sight
I realise where I come from
I recall me
sitting on spiked walls
hope in a box
like a heart beating corpse

but something in me wasn't still
I felt a thrill
drilling from my deepest womb
sneaking to find things above
a wise snake found his own way
to reach that reason
that I forgot I had
my hidden chest

suddenly charmed by golden eyes
I then promised to prove I was alive

and so I walked
I came down here to touch things
left my shelter
to face the dive that I feared
I met the sphere

far I walked
even when I wasn't moving at all
moved within
breathing thoughts
I can see ancient hidden things

far I walked
but never moved at all
I walked just sitting calm there
I moved within
thinking breath

I've been running
like a crazy horse
without even setting a goal
thirsty before a waterfall
hungry refusing any food

and so I walked
I came down here
to touch things
left my shelter
to face the world
that I feared
I embraced the sphere

day after day I was sinking deeper
like a vessel with a breach in the hull
I got drunk
tides of knowledge rushed inside
pulled me where there's no light
downwards through oceans
whirling through the maelstroms
where the speeches have no words
where silence speaks out loud

day after day I was sinking deeper
like a ship with a hole in the hull
I got drunk
tides of knowledge rushed inside
pulled me where there's no light
where the geometry of forms
melts into the sound

new colours and lights
quick movements of my eyes

in dreams I roamed awake
talking to all my shades

all those faces
all discordant
all belonging to my inner self

that void that I've always ran from
eventually shown itself to be my home
I covered the distance between moon and earth
between earth and sun
I've walked through the stars
I've been living inside black holes
where the gravity catches all
I've escaped from where photons can't
gone back to the flames of hell
by choice burnt my flesh
writing with my blood
about my endeavors

living code
human hieroglyph
a vibrant scroll eager to live
always thankful to feel
no more frightened to leave
