chonny jash - the fifth ship of theseus lyrics
i have awoken from a dream
i was so loved, so famed, so adored. oh, so serene
but a daydream is but a frail and shallow thing
oh, such a trifling fling
and now, the moon sings its strained, truthful ring
and i. i will shift and squirm until i die
in a futile and frivolous plight to see morning light
these he’s and us’ are untrue
these things, we trust, but they are just another ruse
these threads are so fine
finite, fragile lines are the escape ropes that we climb
thin and slight
akutagawa’s myth might just be right
_ excеpt, there is no need to die
to join thе demons and the deviants in the swirling pool of blood
i have grown vain anew
thus salvation threw me under to the flood
and so, i
i will change until the mirror lies
and, as narcissus forewent his desire
the truth will burn my eyes
these beams and trusses are unseen
this patchwork frame, it hides a corpse of sutured seams
they puppeteer me
i prayed for glory
i made a story
i prayed for my own world
but as they saw me
the gods that ignored me
they saw a childish churl
“i want an audience.”
“i want to be seen.”
_ the monkey’s finger curls
the bard’s grown weary
but they cannot hear me
over this dulcet swirl
…but what’s one more whirl?
