When the young man came back home He took his head in both hands Full of science Brain Rich brain Do you hear the madness flow? Asking for a barrier Dig a ditch, dig it deep Asking for a barrier Dig a ditch, dig it deep When the home man came back home He heard sad scales sound Piano crying in the night Scales Old scales We search and search again Her husband locked me out Dig a ditch, dig it deep Her husband locked me out Dig a ditch, dig it deep When the young man came back home He stuck his nose into his soul Where all his troubles ferment Soul, sweet soul, their oil's too old for your flame Night's everywhere outside Dig a ditch, dig it deep Night's everywhere outside Then this young man with problems loaded Found a sharp knife a gift in its sheath Blade take aim Be sharper than any dame And you, O God, forgive me now Dig a ditch, dig it deep And you O God, forgive me now Dig a ditch, dig it deep When the gravedigger reached his home He saw it was a sweet soul The sort that nowadays is rare Soul Sleep sweetly my soul

(Once upon a time, somewhere miles and miles beneath the surface of the ocean, there lived a young octopus named Nina. Nina spent most of her time alone making strange creations out of rocks and shells. And she was very happy. But then on Monday the shark showed up. "What's your name?" said the shark. "Nina," she replied. "Do you want to be my friend?" he asked. "OK. What do I have to do?" said Nina. "Not much," said the shark. "Just let me eat one of your arms." Nina had never had a friend before, so she wondered if this was what you had to do to get one. She looked down at her eight arms and decided it wouldn't be so bad to give up one. So she donated an arm to her wonderful new friend. Every day that week, Nina and the shark would play together. They explored caves, built castles of sand, and swam really, really fast. And every night the shark would be hungry, and Nina would give him another one of her arms to eat. On Sunday, after playing all day, the shark told Nina that he was very hungry. "I don't understand," she said. "I've already given you six of my arms, and now you want one more?" The shark looked at her with a friendly smile and said, "I don't want one. This time I want them all." "But why?" Nina asked. And the shark replied, "because that's what friends are for." When the shark finished his meal, he felt very sad and lonely. He missed having someone to explore caves, build castles, and swim really, really fast with. He missed Nina very much. So he-- he swam away to find another friend.) It's not that "I feel alive" anymore, it's that i can't think about anything when my blood is exposed. The pain never ends. I'm sinking. I'm drowning. It's all i have left.

vainness 01:35
Come witness the end devouring. Reminded of how nothing will be easy for me. (empty lungs, my home) Wasting breath and void days inside a sarcophagus. (empty lungs, my home) My skin's the only thing that will never leave me. (well, it's been said) My skin's the only thing that will never leave me. (well, it's the end) All the things left unsaid stay with us forever. I blame myself. All the things left unsaid stay with us forever. I blame myself. Words of what I've yet to see like nails dripping with lies.
