Lovers know,
In remainders of the dead,
In confusion of unnumbered sound,

Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana Flushed into the Jaws of piraña Munched and crunched Truncated scream Ephemeral hue Dispersed in stream Around above below Within beyond without In piraña bowel Until all shat out Detritus in stream
