Negation Consumes Itself |
| Don’t look down |
| The ground will consume you |
| Don’t look down at what you’ve wrought |
| The void draws out your fears |
| Falling down |
| Your selfishness consumes you |
| Falling down into your past |
| Desire flickers out |
| All that the totality gives out for free is ideology |
| So does Truth just fall from the sky? |
| Does it even fall? |
| Does it stay among the stars and constellations? |
| Does it stop when we’re all dead? |
| Is it only in our head? |
| I must believe the Truth needs us as much as we need it |
| Truth collapses in when we tear ourselves from it |
| The sky is falling, with it, my disbelief |
| I can’t re-suspend it |
| I can’t find my way back into the joyful eye |
| Let me back in without turning me to stone |
| Without subverting Subject and Object |
| Without burying the living under the dead |
| And yet, reified relationships are all we have to exist in |
| Partial objects are all the privileged see in this world |
| The Lord and Bondsman’s struggle reproduced indefinitely |
| In a spurious infinity |
| When isolated, the Devil of self-interest takes root |
| Knowing only the nothing you are is knowing nothing |
| A subject without its predicate is never ending |
| The Devil’s despair is the greatest of all |
| But the Devil’s despair requires his privilege |
| The Devil’s despair is a sickness unto death |
| But the Devil’s despair is borne from self-interest |
| Being-in-and-for-oneself is empty without the other |
| So let me be-for you |
| Before I fall back too far to realize |
| That hell awaits the isolated |
| Sublime is the loving flame that lifts |
| And thaws, and embraces |
| Instant and eternity, now and forever |
| And if death has, carved in its beckoning hands |
| Inscriptions of the Ultimate End or the Absolute Truth |
| And in Eros' hands we find the lifelong pursuit of these: |
| The movement between them is uneasy |
| The movement between them will never end |
| For pure light is as blinding as pure darkness |
| Yet we curiously live on |
| For pure light is as blinding as pure darkness |
| For the living are still ruled by the lifeless |
| And yet we curiously live on |
| Waiting for the second coming of the moment of realization |
