The meaning of rooms and streets

The meaning of people

And of being human

Fades gradually away

And the value of love and community

Gradually grows insidious and boring

The lines of perception

Blur and become vacant insensibility

The border between reality and delusion

Vanishes into thin air

Truth becomes deception

Day and night fuse into the twilight of consciousness

Time and space distort and disappear

On the edge of despair

Life and death surrenders

To lonesome apathy

And meaning dissolves into nothingness
