The Undiscovered Lotus

For all these years you sit and wait for something new For all this time you watched them grievin' over you In solitude you search for writings on the wall Your bedroom's full of broken memories, that's all But the stars will turn your way And the healers will stand up, sing and pray Someday you'll be on your mark Someday no more driftin' off And you'll untie their tethered hearts When the world will be as one And the dreamers will lead you on You're the guide, you're the leash "Be near me, I'm your priest And all I've said is done" When tears taste sweet, and your saliva's healing glue When needles penetrate your skin to make it through When angels meet and greet you halfway down the hall Speak now or forever hold your peace behind closed doors Sleeping night and day Waves come take you away Just leaving for a while Leave a world in decay With dreamers on your side And the strength of your leash The stars will turn your way one day And the healers will stand up, sing and pray Someday you'll be on your mark Someday no more driftin' off And you'll untie their tethered hearts When the world will be as one And the dreamers will lead you on You're the guide, you're the leash "Be near me, I'm your priest And all I've said is done"

Eradicate all life The ones I touch the earth will swallow I bless them with demise This burning field my ghost will hallow Run away and leave it all Run away and leave it all Leave the trail for a moment Change the course for a while And give in to the presence Conceding a severed utopia Let me rest in your cradle Suffocate by your hand Be embraced by the rotten Immoral perverted vile Let the skies rain On the weak and the fallen Let them reach faith And be saved by your glory Tonight the wait will end Signs left a trace And you'll return unharmed Free of all the pain Keep me close to the marrow Part my skin from the bone Any thoughts of rebellion Are captured and hooked up to a chain When my spirit is broken And my will disconnects A mirage of existence Will carry this life into the next Let the skies rain On the weak and the fallen Let them reach faith And be saved by your glory Tonight the wait will end Signs left a trace And you'll return unharmed Free of all the pain Hollow, shadow Guide me out of the shame Faceless, tyrant Let the fear be my fate Let the fear be my fate

Forty days and forty nights You were the drug that kept me alive During weary times Seemed so pure when wearing white Within such a frail and immaculate mind With those innocent eyes We were young and full of life You asked me to swear and in me you confided Underneath the stars I should care to let you fly A chance to retrieve what was left behind To experience life Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Waiting for a wonder Within a forsaken land The sparrow in my hand Now buried in the sand Leaving you depending Leaving me with open veins Can't make you wait no more Can't make you wait no more Where it's hard to breathe Everything's blackening I am made of flesh and bone Blood, sweat and tears are all you ever will find Underneath the skin You're a feather, I'm a stone Falling from the depths into the grave Where I'm destined to dwell And we reached for mystery In the age of reason Every path we take We're wandering in blindness In the end, nothing is Glorious or honorable While we drown in doubt We're drifting like strangers Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Waiting for a wonder Within a forsaken land The sparrow in my hand Now buried in the sand Leaving you depending Leaving me with open veins Forty days and forty nights You were the drug that kept me alive With those innocent eyes

In a purple robe Throne of needles Sailing to the sun Reaching higher Sleeping on a bed Of broken bottles Passing night and day Wasting hours Rings on the water caressing your hair Touch of a mother so gently aware Let the journey entice you to stay Draped in water seduced to immerse Lying on the grass By the river Captured by the moon Barely breathing Dreaming while awake Moving slowly Waiting for a change Never coming Can you see the danger Within my eyes? Everyone's a stranger Wearing disguise Rings on the water caressing your hair Touch of a mother so gently aware Let the journey entice you to stay Draped in water seduced to immerse
