Perpetual Black Second Lyrics - Nothing - Meshuggah

Trapped in a ceaseless fever of spite, 

an unending fit of resentment and anger 

Caught in a moment of unforgiveness 

In the snapshot of a hatefilled second 

The speedless flickering of uncomprehending eyes 

-Dialated in disbelief 

Your vacant gaze distorted 

Twisted in its accusing glare 

Teeth glimmering in emotional rage 

Spit of hate suspended mid-air 

Bodies strained in fury 

Devoured by jaws of despair 

One single image frame I wish to forget 

now replayed in succession of millions 

The one second I will always regret 

-My hell found in its reiteration 

Held within the visualization, 

the continuous rerun of my own violence 

A fraction of time perpetuated 

By my regretful soul animated 

Please forgive the evil in me 

-The darkness within 

Ferocious, inherent demon 

Adrenaline gland resident 

Threatened subconscious snake 

Repressed into striking coil 

Surfacing that black second 

Ascending with the boil
