Lyrics

Deep within the soul of any premise lies a parasite It presumes the truth of logic And concludes what logically follows It is never questioned, and it's inescapable And circularity foredooms its derivation An invitation to despair This verse is false indeed if I speak truth, but true if I am a Liar And self-reference in its tremoring sabotage will kill us all Consistency murders completeness and undecidable truths loom on divergently expandable horizons Contradiction is stronger than deduction If you encounter reason, destroy it If cause precedes effect, withdraw your senses, this is delusion A call for abandonment An invitation to despair But such statements are flawed For buried in every premise, including this one, lies a parasite If that's so, then there isn't one But self-reference brings forth its resurrection And infinite regress renders an invitation to despair
