"Emptiness"

Searching for something intelligent to say tonight
but the words don't come near me nor do they flow thru me
and so I close my eyes and look deep inside searching within
for a word, a phrase that would amount to a certain value
but the fact remains, nothing sums up to nothing
emptiness takes its grasp on me and i gasp
fallen inside, unrellenting it becomes alive and pulls me in
and with no hope, no escape, i dive right in and take my fold
fallen into a world i tried to avoid... the void... my v0id...

'virus acticate, blank slate, untitled state, unwritten, undecided
defragment creciend0, mind in limb0, d0wn t0 zer0, n0 need f0r a her0
and as cinder burned back in jeric0 s0 my th0ughts sl0wly dec-ay-0
n0 trace but empty space, spinal taps int0 my ch0rd-i-0
mind bender, qu0te ender, page master, dream maker
final null, plugs me in, int0 wire desir0, man-machine caught 0n fir-0
c0ded red, read-write-0verride, system of a down comes crashing down...
... and d0wn and d0wn and d0wn i g0...'
