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.

The 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,

Tucked in and safe in a world of sleep.

All years caring for a liar.

Benefit road is winding higher.

You're a moth to 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

Whisper from the heart of evil

Luring them all into despair

Resenting the goods of a savior

Cries out

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 that you had 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

(2x)

Overheard us talking

In a smoke of lost hope

The language of our parting

So clear and so true

Overheard us talking
