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

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.
