The Tesseract, Part I
i am in the fourth dimension
there is no way out
i can hear darkness
and i can taste my past
it tastes like... cereal
on a morning with four feet of snow
a mourning
yes, and lace curtains
laced
in my living room
in my nice, cozy living room
i am in the fourth dimension
the one-eyed capricorns can see through cameras
into my bedroom
i better be careful with what i say to myself
i am in the fourth dimension
i have seven voices
but no one can hear the second
or the third, or the fourth, or the fifth, or the
i am in the fourth dimension
this is nothing like hell
this is nothing like heaven
i am in the fourth dimension
i've experienced experiences i've never experienced
and they were all very nice, except i've never experienced them
so they weren't that great
i am in the fourth dimension
i have repeated the same ten seconds three hundred and sixty-five times
and i've taken showers with machines
the machines zapped me, but that's okay
i still have eyes
i am in the fourth dimension
the tesseract ate me
it felt good
but now i desperately need to die
i am in the fourth dimension
where you live forever
and where
you
never
die
