The Lotus Eater
The liquid is in your throatFor hopeless delight
After all you fell in love with death,Life has aborted.All you've had and all you became,The night is calling, you pray forth.
The barren waste is your landYour crops, they were sown to die
The skin is a mirrorThe eyes hollow with ignoranceHealth runs from your lipsSucked in and safe in a world of sleep
All those years caring for a liarA benefit road that is winding higherYou're a moth too close to the fire
You are stuck ina route of confusionChanging and waitingand seeking the truth of it all
Fleeing your sorrowsPushing your spirit away
Sick of the weakness of the psycheA whisper from the heartof evil luring them all into despairResenting the goods of a savior
And cries outFor the restless will also die
A selection culled from the damned,drawing a lifeline of oneA friend died in your roomand sought the birth of a follower
Oh, brother, you are a killerand you target yourselfI wish you'd never come backfor us to see the beckoning end
And the pride of a motherbrought flaws in a mother's sonAnd the love from a fatherwas used by a father's son
Overheard us talkingin a smoke of lost hopeThe language of a partingso clear and so trueOverheard us talking
