Perpetual Black Second - Meshuggah

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
