Lotus in Bloom

You want what they have
Cut them down
To build on
Fill up your cup
It’s spillin’ out
You take more
Plug it in
We'll Learn to choke on your fumes
A shadow grows around your face
Headache looms
These changes happenin’ outside your room
You’ve never seen a garden so bright
Lotus in bloom
You’ll never see it with your closed eyes
Lotus in bloom
You got the picture wrong
Walk in two suns
City lights
Burn out the sky
Hear a clear voice
Speak in tongues to you
Take a swim your lungs fill up
With oil
Don’t you realise
What you’ve begun
These days are lasting
Outside the womb
You’ve never seen a garden so bright
Lotus in bloom
You’ll never see it with your closed eyes
Lotus in bloom
You got the picture wrong

Can't Help Yourself
03:12

Listening to their aching has left you numb
Thats when you took it upon yourself
Time passes like water running
Since you've tipped over borderline
Soon enough
All you see comes undone
You blocked out the sky
To leave them all blind
You do it
You just can't help yourself
Its you and no-one else
Eyes notice when any truth is bent enough,
You won't stand by you'll talk
You can be the barely loved and never mind
You can guide the elephant around the room
A sinking feeling creeps in over time
It's itching enough to change your mind
You go away biting your lip sometimes
But you'll do it again,
Do it again,
One more time
You just can't help yourself
Its you and no-one else
On and on it hits you today
You can have them all crippled and begging from you
No more
Then a chance for another
You'll do it till the end,
Do it with a sigh
This boat is sinking
This boat is sinking
But you're still hanging on
You're still going down
Trying to look away
But you can't help yourself

The Void
03:34
|

Left in a haze,
Streaks of colour in the black
The mind separates
You’re trying to bring the picture back and
Piece by piece
It all falls together
You can (only) do it for so long
Before you know it’s gone
You gotta take it when it comes
To fill the open space:
Succumb to lust and impulse.
Regurgitate the taste
That you have slowly learned to hate and
Piece by piece
It all falls apart
You can do it for so long
Before you know it’s gone
You gotta take it when it comes
You try to make a fight of it but you’re wakin’ up .
Those dreams are meant to be forgotten,
Take all you don’t need and let it go.

Slip Beneath
04:15
|

Leave well enough alone,
You won't need it when it's said and done.
Hear every word
Falling on a sense of doubt you have long ignored
Can't give one good reason,
Now the best part's gone.
You played into it so,
What if's? Listen…
You want your money back,
Hate what you've bought into.
Sleep in a body bag…
You're spitting and spitting,
Here we are.
Better leave town,
Before it gets out.
Never listen, so afraid of running backwards,
On your own
So you think could there be a little something more.
Here…
Here and now, let it go under.
There's no peace above water
Slowly slip beneath.
They go hunt in packs
They won't call you back
Higher the wave is coming now
Always, there is one more way
To get out of here
To get out of this place
Now running
Are you running away, are you stalling?
You can only see one side of it
Are you running away, are you standing?
You can only see one side of it
An immediate soul,
Then no more
The better you sow
The better you grow
Better than some
Some better than you
Bare your soul
Bare your soul.
