Ben Fear - Lotus Lyrics

I sip lotus leaf tea
And go to sleep beneath The Bodhi Tree
Keeping the boat at sea, even with the monsters beneath me
Swamping to greet me, their teeth from the frozen deep
Wrenched from my chrysalis and I'm a naked bug
Taken by the icy winds, baking in the blazin' sun
Waking up, shaking, take my brain from its paper cup
And place it in my cranium again until my day is up
Take the bus with the fiends for the angel dust
Breaking hot rocks like they're bound with the chain and cuff
"Take a puff" said the slack-jawed shoulder-devil
Forked tongue talking of a hack for the golden petal
The smoulder settles, the ash makes a fertile bed
For lotuses, hopelessness, focus, and external dread
I've heard it said that still waters run the deepest
Underneath the lotus leaf- it grows to reach a sun that feeds it
9-5, focus on the grind, like your opus
It's high time you open up your mind like the lotus
And float above the skyline, miles high, hoping that the
Roaches, rats, and blind mice slide by, unnoticed
9-5, focus on the grind, like your opus
It's high time you open up your mind like the lotus
And float above the skyline, miles high, hoping that the
Roaches, rats, and blind mice slide by, unnoticed
Play golf and laugh while the earth burns
I hope you die- serve your next life as an earthworm
The vermin: building us a cage with a running wheel
"Pedal for a pellet, for the merit, it's a stunner deal!"
That don't appeal- I'd rather sip the sweet nectar
A man's gotta eat- that's why I applied to be a beat-tester
I never was anything better than carbon dust and memories
Still, the devil was peddlin' edibles when I was starving, just to tempt me
I park up next to Bentleys and step out of my magic carpet
Ragged garments, chances are I planned some larks with blaggers and varmints
Largely harmless. Twist 'em up, like Karma Sutra
Snip the shrub and pass the Buddha. Chew the roots and view the future
Choose your own adventure
Endeavour to better your spawning grounds
The seeds of all creation bathe in toxic rain from warning clouds
They're snoring loud, alarms are sounding, hearts are pounding like the
Drums of war
The calm before the storm
A dawn is flowering
9-5, focus on the grind, like your opus
It's high time you open up your mind like the lotus
And float above the skyline, miles high, hoping that the
Roaches, rats, and blind mice slide by, unnoticed
9-5, focus on the grind, like your opus
It's high time you open up your mind like the lotus
And float above the skyline, miles high, hoping that the
Roaches, rats, and blind mice slide by, unnoticed
