about

Ouroboros finds itself at both the apex and vertex of the exploration of the cyclical nature of things. There is a cynicism to be found in realizing how all cycles back unto itself.

But, there is also a beautiful realization to be had, far past the cynicism and the doubt. Past the fear and the pain. Past all memory -

That without the all of it, there wouldn't be any of it.

lyrics

Snake, eating its own tail
Failure feeds the fool
Who eats their fill

But who else is fed
On victorious spoils
When no one wins
Or loses?
To lose, sometimes, is to win
Or learn

Demons crawling in my skin
Sinning is the saint
Who saves themselves

But who else is saved
When the saints are all gone -
When the saints have sinned
And sold their souls?
To be saved, sometimes, is to suffer
Or lie

Sun, rises and sets
Light begets the day
And darkness, night

Yet, what is the dark
But the day without light
The heart, sans love
The sinner, with no saint
The snake, eating its own tail?
