The Lotus Eater

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
 A barren waste is your land
 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 from the world of sleep
 ♪
 All years, all years caring for a liar
 The barren drift road 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 in sorrows
 Pushing your spirit away
 Sick of the weakness of the psyche
 Whisper from the heart of evil
 Luring them all into despair
 Resenting the goods of a savior
 Cries out
 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're 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
 Drawn close in a mother's son
 And the love from a father
 Was used by a father's son, ah
 And the pride of a mother
 Drawn close 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
