Kobra and the Lotus
Album • 2019
This track is instrumental.
I've been waiting for changes that never come my way Maybe I've painted outside with tainted beliefs In the mouth of the lion I choose to reason All the walls closing in on the weight of my sins misgiven Until I see my truth never fully realized My truth, imperfection, brings me closer to myself Loved, you are loved Embrace your pain You will rise You will say here I am Here I am! I've been treading a river leading me astray Maybe my morals have faded from seeking release In the blood of another I choose my cleansing, yeah As the sound of my heart slowly deafens what I believed in Until I see my truth, a semblant My truth, imperfection, brings me closer to myself Loved, you are loved Embrace your pain You will rise You will say here I am Here I am! Life! Death! Evolution! Loved, you are loved Embrace your pain You will rise You will say here I am Here I am!

You came like a killer, with a vengeance, and a will to terminate Psychological warfare, preying on all the weakness that we share I can see your denial, you're a liar and you wear betrayal well Giving in to the praise of a win of a hero, your dark impel Help me hold on to something real Suture my mind so I can heal We have fallen farther into the shallows Glorifying the surface, we come undone You're an affliction, to connection, contempt you propagate Feeding off the attention, leading blind to the blind, your lies commiserate Selling out for the power, you devour all honesty innate Killing off the intention, validation, it won't satiate We have fallen farther into the shallows Glorifying the surface, we come undone We come undone We have fallen farther into the shallows Glorifying the surface, we come undone We have drifted far from what really matters Separating each other, we come undone We come undone, we come undone We come undone

Lay down Perceptions that you seek A false integrity Lay down your desperate appeal To be somebody else And hide whatever's real All that glitters Is not always gold Over the falls I go Gripping the life left inside my soul Wounds I have sink like a stone Pulling me under, pulling me under Can't let go Lay down Your veil and receive The darker part of me Lay down your ignorance to heed If there's something good in you There must something be good in me Over the falls I go Gripping the life left inside my soul Wounds I have sink like a stone Pulling me under, pulling me under Can't let go All the glamour in your world brings me down (down to your hell) All the power I have given, I won't sell, I won't sell Over the falls I go Gripping the life left inside my soul Wounds I have sink like a stone Pulling me under, pulling me under Can't let go, no I can't let go Can't let go

Well I've been beat down broken Let me tell you I've got hell to pay I said this day would come You laughed and looked the other way I don't mean to alarm you But the winds have finally changed They're blowing my direction And It's changing the game You said I couldn't do it It's the reason that I stayed Lit a fire in my heart And put ice in my veins This time I'm leaving you behind Don't care about tomorrow I'm here to have a hell of a time Are you ready? say yeah! I ain't gonna lose All the times you said I couldn't jokes on you Well I've love, lost, learned Let me tell you I have paid my dues And the crying child inside you Believe me I've been paying is too Yea! This time I'm leaving you behind Don't care about tomorrow I'm here to have a hell of a time Are you ready? say yeah! I ain't gonna lose All the times you said I couldn't jokes on you And if you hear me say yeah! Whatever I choose Cause I'm proud of what I'm made of I stay true (I stay true) I stay true I'm not going back on my way Wrong turn take me back here to stay I'm not going back on my way 1, 2, 3, 4 Tell me what you're fighting for Yea! I ain't gonna lose All the times you said I couldn't jokes on you And if you hear me say yeah! Whatever I choose Cause I'm proud of what I'm made of I stay true (I stay true) I stay true

Now step right up to the circus Slip right into my wishing well Everyone here is twisted Everybody's in their own hell No Nobody owns me Nobody owns my broken bones No matter the pressure No one can break me I won't fold And I won't be No I won't be bought and sold Nobody owns me Nobody owns me I'm a crooked reflection I'm a part of your broken dreams Just another distortion Everything here is not what it seems No Nobody owns me Nobody owns my broken bones No matter the pressure No one can break me I won't fold And I won't be No I won't be bought and sold Nobody owns me Nobody owns me Anymore Anymore Go! I've fallen so damn low Following roads paved in gold But I didn't know No Nobody owns me Nobody owns my broken bones No matter the pressure No one can break me I won't fold And I won't be No I won't be bought and sold Nobody owns me Nobody owns me

Farewell, my innocence is gone I won't let go Holding onto dreams but still haunted by a ghost Farewell, my faith has lost its hope I long for light I can feel my shadow It's so cold Need peace of mind I wanna start again Another chance at life Wash away Shelter me, bring shelter from the rain I wash away (away) Shelter me, bring shelter from the pain Everyone guilty with no one to blame Starving for love we give in to The need to hide the shame Damage is done and we start to Forget just who we are And what we stand for Just what we stand for Farewell, my innocence is gone Farewell, my faith has lost its hope Wash away Shelter me, bring shelter from the rain I wash away (away) Shelter me, bring shelter from the pain I wash away Shelter me, bring shelter from the rain I wash away (away) Shelter me, bring shelter from the pain So I won't wash away
Look at you now There's nobody around How you lie to manipulate And shape what you perceive Day after day You lose your way Why can't you see? Hey, hey you! Hey, am I getting through? So get back, heart of black, slither away I know you're playing a game Right road, wrong track, I see your ways It's over, there's nothing to say When the lies tie you down And no truth can be found Now you're drowning inside The great delusion in your eyes No one will hear you When you scream for help this time Hey, hey you! Hey, am I getting through? So get back, heart of black, slither away I know you're playing a game Right road, wrong track, I see your ways It's over, there's nothing to say How does it feel to lose everything? Tell me, how does it feel to lose? How does it feel to lose everything? Tell me, how does it feel to lose? How does it feel to lose everything? Tell me how does it feel to be left with nothing? Liar! And you'll get as good as you gave So get back, heart of black, slither away I know you're playing a game Right road, wrong track, I see your ways It's over, there's nothing to say You liar And you'll get as good as you gave

I've got a secret I've been keeping And I'm dying to tell I've been wishing for the best But this isn't gonna turn out well Pretty pretty girls aren't always nice A kiss so sweet but a heart of ice She will spit you out Run, run, run! Gotta get the fuck out of here! Or it will be the end of you, I swear So hear my confession It'll turn into obsession Beware She's a picture-perfect image Now she's turning into your nightmare Don't you know honey you're the pick of the week She doesn't really love you for the reasons you think She will spit out Run, run, run! Gotta get the fuck out of here! Don't look back, it'll be the end I swear! I'll warn you once I'll warn you twice That if you stay you'll pay the price Run, run, run! Gotta get the fuck out of here! Beauty queens and toxic dreams like cigarettes and kerosene It's all too much for me I don't like what I see Picture-perfect Sugar and spice Tastes so good It'll cost your life Poison kisses Heart of ice Just wake the fuck up! Run, run, run! Gotta get the fuck out of here! Don't look back it'll be the end I swear I'll warn you once I'll warn you twice That if you stay you'll pay the price Run, run, run! Gotta get the fuck out of here! Run! Oh Run! Whoa!

Rising from the ashes you came like a bat out of hell Donning force and steel to keep your lies from leaking out Giving into fame Deceiving for a name Please tell me the meaning of all the war your breeding Was it all worth it in the end? In the end Haunted by your anger, generations carry on Thriving off hostility, our world can't evolve Justice for a rush Sacrificing us Please tell me the meaning of all the war your breeding Was it all worth it in the end? When you die, would you stand by all the blood you're leaving? Was it all worth it in the end? In the end In the end Absolution, for the war waged within Resolution, for the rage without an end Mourn, was your war worth it all? Please tell me the meaning of all the war your breeding Was it all worth it in the end? When you die, would you stand by all the blood you're leaving? Was it all worth it in the end?
