Lotus Eater

In a trance, in a daze
I feel like I've been up for days
Can't advance through this maze
Without my steps getting out of phase
Walk the plains, decide my fate
Act a fool with no restraint
Gas and fumes, iridescent hues, all the pleasant views
Let me demonstrate

My friends are always wasted
And some are just complacent
Filling holes cause they're so vacant
Faking empty blank faces
Can't save them, they're sedated
Yeah, I'm faded
But still seeing through the haze and
All these people that can't just
Stand forever in amazement
The neon signs and golden buildings shine
Tourists baptized in expensive hookers
And some cheap wine
It's fine, I'm fine. Yeah, We're all fine
Until you realize that somethings missing
And you don't know where to look or even what you'll find

Living life like it's a theater
Taking love like it's for free
Euphoria, there's nothing sweeter
I'm in bliss, a lotus eater
Living life like it's a theater
Taking love like it's for free
Euphoria, there's nothing sweeter
I'm in bliss, a lotus eater

I overthink every link in this chain
Of thoughts I got wrapped around my frame
Boxing me in I'm boxing myself
Bleeding internally, I feel every ounce
Of emotion
I wanna cause a commotion
But instead I stay posted
Keep to myself no one can help
But me and I try and I can't focus
Usher in the year with new resolution
Craft my own world George Lucas
J.K. Rowling J.R. Tolkien
Write myself out of seclusion
No more missing what the future has
Looking back while the current past
I refused to continue this dark path
I deserve everything I will have
Ain't no if's, and's, or but's
They say I expect too much
Everything I drop throwing uppercuts
Chin checked this shit ain't a game to us
Plots foiled like you smoking H
Smacking anybody that's in my way
Move bitch like I'm Ludacris
Pre-lunatic til I do me in

Living life like it's a theater
Taking love like it's for free
Euphoria, there's nothing sweeter
I'm in bliss, a lotus eater

Eating the blooms
Forbidden fruit
Sweetest lies to be consumed
Eve of Eden doomed to lose
Sirens swimming with the ships
Singing, smiling draw you in
Whispers you won't make it home
A lost king on an island throne

Living life like it's a theater
Taking love like it's for free
Euphoria, there's nothing sweeter
I'm in bliss, a lotus eater
Living life like it's a theater
Taking love like it's for free
Euphoria, there's nothing sweeter
I'm in bliss, a lotus eater
