Lyrics

I am old and filthy.
My body is rotten.
The disfiguration of my physique is so advanced
that my appearance is practically unimaginable.
Although my life began in a pit,
a structure was erected above me many years ago.
Now I dwell in its basement

Nobody comes to see me.
Rats and insects are my only companions.
They tell me that the creators of the
building under which I reside have sealed me in.
I do not loathe them for this act,
even though they replaced my once soft floor with a slab of concrete.
Besides myself, the basement is totally empty.
It is dark and musty.
It serves no purpose.
And yet the entire world is down here, the whole universe
