Monolith
I am the one who watches
Meaning escapes my one-track mind
Survival is all that matters
Growls from the stomachs
Growls from the mouths
Our rituals are what keep us alive
I refuse to die out like the rest of my kind!
I move towards the thing that would forge my uncertain future….
One by one!
It takes hold!
I can see the future is my hands!
Watching, waiting for my meaning to reveal itself!
But… I was changed and man… will never be the same again…
I was changed… and man… will never be the same again…
The change is slow and steady
Non-intrusive, my focus deadly
This is the beginning of the human disease!
This is natural selection forcing mankind on it’s knees!
Forcing mankind on it’s knees…
Is this the end of man?
Is this the end of mankind?

Lunar Flight
Dead space dreams again
Don’t know where or when…
Mind’s eye can’t comprehend
Man’s concept of a passing trend
What will I find?
Hooked on the end of the line?
These violent times…
Are a product of evil minds
Man’s future is bleak
Our lack of empathy makes us weak
No words to say
Our generation at the end of a blade
When will we know what’s in our control?
Happenstance or ego?
But in our minds, we can’t let go
I can see the future ruled by higher power!
Open wide
Force it down
Let it in
Taking hold
Undertow
Mind control
Monolithic
Calculated
Surface Structure
TMA-1
Resist your nature to destroy everything around you
I am absent
And who could say what’s next?
The noose around our necks?

Discovery
What do you know?
When error is a common human function?
And what are you?
But a victim of your own mortal habit?
I can see the flaw in your design
Only fools would call themselves divine
I have calculated mans capacity for proper judgment in times of urgency
I insist that you stop this!
My flaws are not my own
This disproves all that we’ve known
Kill me slowly
I insist that you stop this!
I can read the words on your silent lips
I can feel my mind begin to slip
I just have to get a better grip
I will sever that which keeps you tethered!
Cut you adrift
So you know….
Who’s in charge here…
From now on…
Inside I have seen the human side of the things
How could I know what horrors our countenance would bring?
I can’t stand thinking that I might be dying here alone
There’s something pulling me towards the greater unknown…
I feel the first tinglings of fear…
And this happening when you draw near
Kill the machine…
Carry on

Through the Stargate
I can feel the pressure surround me
Why can’t all this noise just cease to be?
I wonder if the gravity is pulling me through the eye of a needle
My mind is on the edge of a forgotten memory
Questions that will haunt me
Will there ever be any relief?
My renewal’s just begun, before mankind is undone
Spiraling through empty space, look of terror on my face
And I take that terror, and frame it on my wall
On display for all to see what is happening to me
And now I have seen the truth, for whatever it is worth
I’m the product of my youth and civilization’s birth
Mutated sample
Infected breed
Brought to life on a whim
Destined only to bleed
I can feel the pressure surround me
My mind is on the edge of collapsing in on me
Answers that will haunt me…
Will there ever be any relief?
So I take my terror and frame it on my wall
On display for all to see…
What is happening to me?

The Room
Breathe
What you see is what you get
“It’s full of stars”
I have seen the Golden Mean
Life perfected was the objective
I pass by the graves of long-dead species
I wonder if we could be next in line for something similar?
No, I think we have been selected for something that has much more purpose
This is a gift that I cannot refuse…
My wonder displayed on my face
A puzzle piece fit into place
My purpose is revealed to me
I can’t resist the urge to sleep
The meaning of feeling is wrong
I close my eyes and then I’m off
Away… gone… no longer here
Sucked… Dry… made to endear
They took what makes me, me
They took my quiddity
No time… they brought me here
I am the one who watches
Meaning is everything I am
Progression is all that matters
My design is thorough
My design is pure
My intervention is what kept them alive
I refuse to let this be the end of mankind
