Lyrics Perpetual Black Second - Meshuggah

Perpetual Black Second

Trapped in a ceaseless fever of spite
An unending fit of resentment and anger
Caught in a moment of unforgiveness
In the snapshot of a hate filled second
The speechless flickering of uncomprehending eyes
-Dilated in disbelief
Your vacant gaze distorted
Twisted in its accusing glare
Teeth glimmering in emotional rage
Spit of hate suspended in mid-air
Bodies strained in fury
Devoured by jaws of despair
One single image frame I wish to forget
Now replayed in succession of millions
The one second I will always regret
-My hell found in its reiteration
Held within the visualization
The continuous rerun of my own violence
A fraction of time perpetuated
By my regretful soul animated
Please forgive the evil in me — The darkness within
Ferocious, inherent demon.
Adrenaline gland resident
Threatened subconscious snake.
Repressed into
Striking coil
Surfacing that black second.
Ascending with the boil
