Perfect Black - Direct Hit!

Here we stare at perfect black, taking time for once to glimpse the other side

Swallow once, feel infinite — Swallow twice, and sink forever through your mind

Wrapped up in meaning, it’s easy to ignore all the facts of the abyss

Time, space and consciousness make it so scratching that itch is a kiss

We need it

We feel it

Just speak it, and drink it

You need it

We feel it

Just speak it, and drink it

Open eyes mean streaming tears

When you stare at forever it’s bigger than you feared

Admitting pointless is a pill

Easy cure for pressure, keeps the edge off it

Not forever but now it’s time to rise from the dirt

Ascend to your place where at least you can’t hurt

Reaching out, your hands grip nothing

And there’s no ground beneath to catch your body

Floating in that half-dead state of timelessness

Nothing keeps you satisfied like silence

You need it

We feel it

Just speak it, and drink it

Need help comprehending relief?

Yeah it’s tempting, a cheap consolation for heaven it may be

But I’ve seen the light

It’s darker than velvet inside this crypt where you can’t tell the difference

I’ve seen the light, so bright I’ve been blinded

Inside this crypt of predictable excess

Expanding your mind to unknown perception’s the only way out

So let’s face it together

Expanding your mind by burning the body, the bones, the ashes to nothing

Open eyes mean streaming tears

When you stare at forever it’s bigger than you feared

Admitting pointless is a pill

Easy cure for pressure, keeps the edge off it

Not forever but now it’s time to rise from the dirt

Ascend to your place where at least you can’t hurt

Reaching out, your hands grip nothing

And there’s no ground beneath to catch your body

You need it

We feel it

Just speak it and drink it
