Lotus

I always open my eyes so wide
Try with all my might
To find the truth that we hide
I see your reasons
But my heart just don’t, just don’t feel right

You say we’re nothing, nothing in this world
But then somehow we’re all connected in a book of faces

Singularity is just steps away
Our boats should have never departed
We left the shoreline empty handed
Empty handed

Blinded by the sounds of birdsong
We’re tumbling down this path of destruction

Will you just put me back to sleep
Will you just take away these chains
There’s nothing more than vanity
Will you just put me back to sleep, to sleep

Spend all your youth, your life, counting numbers
Your emotions are muted
Behind the glasses, the doors
Dropping hearts just to feel alive

I don’t seek your validation
I don’t need your fake affliction
But I’m alive

Singularity is just steps away
Our boat should have never departed
We left the shore line empty handed
Empty handed
Blinded by the sounds of birdsong
We’re tumbling down this path of destruction

Will you just put me back to sleep
Will you just take away these chains
There’s nothing more than vanity
Will you just put me back to sleep, to sleep
