Almost all I know is that the state of the quo seems so static when sinking
While the water stays stagnant, gravity's having its fun
And, although I've left the void behind, sometimes I find myself thinking
Can the weight of the world be withstood by the will of the one

But it takes more than purpose to surface and force yourself up there
And it's more than the masses who've ravaged the Flowers That Be
While we wait for the good that we want
Ever due poised to outrun any noise we confront
It's done silently

I can admit I've spent far too long in the void
I can admit I've spent far too long in the void

It got despairitous. It's despairitous
The state of this thing, it's despairitous
It gets despairitous, it's so despairitous
Look around you, and there it is
Even when we've looked away, the void still stares at us
It's so despairitous - but you can't get despairitous

Cuz the slights soon spiral in size until they're unending
But the lashes only branch out when the wind blows
Even light can't make it through a lens without bending
When descending, at least you're pending repose

The closed becomes cloudy, you'll notice your body's been breaking down
Either the dark's more intense, or your senses have dulled
Do you fight off the fear with malaise, clinging to sight while your hearing decays
Time never takes what it's tolled

I can admit I've spent far too long in the void
I can admit I've spent far too long in the void

It gets despairitous, it gets despairitous
But you can't let it get you despairitous
It gets despairitous, it's despairitous
But you can't let it pull you to where it is
Even when we've walked away, the void waves at us
It gets despairitous, but you can't get despairitous
You can't let it get you despairitous

I can admit I've spent far too long in the void
Even I can admit I've spent far too long in the void
Swimming around
Drinking it down
Deadset to drown

It's easy to give in - in fact it's justified to do
And you wouldn't be in the wrong, if you're someone that that matters to
Cuz we're powerless to transmute it, and we're not the first t've tried
But what malice can you attribute to a boat caught in the tide

Because what seems intentional is simply three-dimensional
As if time had the space for such petty displays to displace
It's background radiation, expanding without contention
And it's seemed like it's seeped into all that we know, but it's just the foundation
Not to mention: the things that we don't know; the things that we don't pay attention to
The things we view as us, if just because we see things through
But it's actuall natural, it's just physics - the off switch - it's the default setting
Water down your fed upticks, turn your liches to leeches, unleash the bloodletting go

Cuz when you're tired of being right
When you see such empty vessels, do your best to steer aside
Even though those objects might look a lot like you, don't get distracted
It's a trap! It's a trick! It's entropic residue

You just can't get despairitous
Don't get despairitous

I know there seems no way out, but I swear there is
You can't let it get you despairitous
It's a long way down, I'm aware of this
You can't let it get you despairitous
Don't mistake the knave for nefarious
Don't let it get you despairitous
Don't wait in the grave while they bury us
You can't let it get you despairitous

It's just despairitous
It's despairitous just

It's just despairitous
It's despairitous just

It's just despairitous
Despair: it does what despair it must

Prepare to push through the precarious
You can't let it get you despairitous
Trade the timid for temerarious
You can't let it get you despairitous
Let your visions be vivid and various
You can't let it get you despairitous
 
Despair: it does what despair it must
Despair: it does what despair it must

Tune it out like the dead air it is
You can't let it get you despairitous
It's archaic to cater to Erebus
You can't let it get you despairitous

And even when I'm worlds away, the empty tempting void still beckons me

It's just despairitous
There's nothing to see
It's just despairitous
And that's nothing to be

It's only a lonely despairitous
It's simply and limply despairitous
It's clearly just merely despairitous
It's completely effetely despairitous
It's bleakly but weakly despairitous
It's solely a lowly despairitous

It's just despairitous
That's all it is
That's all
That's all, almost

Everything I know is still compounded by the cold and unfeeling
The hope might peal hollow, so long as the sorrow still stings
But red poppies have been known to grow on ruined walls
And falls tend to turn to springs
All the rest I know is buried under snow that winter brings

Soon we'll start to thaw those bitter things
