Dear Reader,

The universe is 13 billion years old, and I get to be alive at just the right time.

something i can never have / the becoming / gone, still

“It’s more about a sense of purity or morality and a preservation of that. It’s about the search. And you don’t arrive at a nice tidy conclusion.” (Trent Reznor Rolling Stone, 1999 October)

The world that you live in was designed to keep you terrified of what happens beyond the burden of their control. You are dulled and filed flat so that you punish yourself for the crimes of the unseen hands that hold you down. They raised us to believe that the Badlands are an inescapable truth. Permanent captivity. But I've seen behind the walls, and I recorded this to let you know there is more out there.
