lyrics

Black Box

My soul went down with the wreckage
To the bottom of the deepest of oceans
Could it ever be recovered
It holds the meaning of everything
Little black box…lost to the depths
And along with it…the secrets of all that I was

Can you see it…sinking to the bottom
I feel more free with every fathom
An empty shell of a vessel
Why does it feel so welcoming

I know I’ll never recover
The realm of soul, hidden, will remain
A Little black box…lost to the depths
And along with it…the secrets of all that is
Of all that was…Of all that could be

Little black box…Are you lost
My soul’s …little black box
Little black box…Are you lost
My soul’s …little black box
Are you lost forever

Damnatio ad bestias (Thrown to the beasts)
Damnatio memoriae (Damnation of memory)
Deos alienos (No other gods)
Conspectu meo (Before me)

What if there really is a god out there somewhere?
A mediocre one at best
Maybe they don’t even know we’re here
If they did would they even care?
Maybe it’s all just an accident
Tripped and fell and made all that we know exists

Experimenting in a Petri dish
And made a universe in there

Maybe they don’t even know we’re here
If they did why would they even care?

What if there really is a god out there somewhere?

Experimenting in a Petri dish
And made a universe in there
