The Impenetrable Dark

I think I can hear, I can hear the deafening silence    
And I can see the impenetrable dark, with my defiance    
I can taste the sickening bile of my despicable fear    
And I think I'm alone, but I'm not sure, nothing is clear    
     
I'm deaf, there's only the white noise of the background static    
I think I'm blind, but my thoughts are much too erratic    
But I can't escape my fear, it's a hideous malformed miscreation    
And I'm not alone, 'cause I can't elude this godforsaken abomination    
     
    Dead, I'm dead, I was subject to death; merely mortal..............    
    Everything I was has slipped; slipped into a sinkhole portal.....    
    And there's nothing beyond this, just the impenetrable dark...    
    Deep in death, I'm deaf and blind; where is the patriarch?.......    
     
There is nobody here, absolutely nobody else here, nobody but me    
And there'll be nobody else here, absolutely nobody else, that I can foresee    
So I'll swim in the dark, before I drown in the deafening silence    
And I'll make a pact with my fear and form a self-destructive alliance    
     
I can only taste the sickening bile of my despicable fear    
And I'm definitely alone, but I'm not sure, nothing is clear    
I'm deaf, I can't hear a thing and I'm statuesque; I'm stuck in the static    
And I'm blind to a god-damn thing, in the impenetrable dark of the dogmatic
