The Lotus Eater lyrics

The liquid is in your throat

For 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 land

Your crops, they were sown to die

The skin is a mirror

The eyes hollow with ignorance

Health runs from your lips

Sucked in and safe in a world of sleep

All those years caring for a liar

A benefit road that is winding higher

You're a moth too close to the fire

You are stuck in

a route of confusion

Changing and waiting

and seeking the truth of it all

Fleeing your sorrows

Pushing your spirit away

Sick of the weakness of the psyche

A whisper from the heart

of evil luring them all into despair

Resenting the goods of a savior

And cries out

For the restless will also die

A selection culled from the damned,

drawing a lifeline of one

A friend died in your room

and sought the birth of a follower

Oh, brother, you are a killer

and you target yourself

I wish you'd never come back

for us to see the beckoning end

And the pride of a mother

brought flaws in a mother's son

And the love from a father

was used by a father's son

Overheard us talking

in a smoke of lost hope

The language of a parting

so clear and so true

Overheard us talking
