Lotus Eater - Hellions

Death is a friend that we serve 'til the end and she’s near

Sink, drown

Can you hear me?

Do you feel it?

Right here, watch the Lotus Eater drown

Sink, drown

He’ll never be found

Empty within

Empty without my pentecostal kin

You are the tick of the analogue clock

The hum and rattle that’ll never stop

The spluttering cough of the refrigerator motor

I cannot exist without her, but she won’t let me go

Sink, drown

Can you hear me?

Do you feel it?

Right here, watch the Lotus Eater drown

Sink, drown

He’ll never be found

Raise your glass to the Lotus Eater

As he drifts into the ether

Can you take me to meet her?

She who brings panic and fever

She ate when I ate, she drank when I drank

But she never slept when I slept

She’d terrorise me as I dreamt

Cognitive dissonance reigns supreme in me

As is her will

Sink, drown

Can you hear me?

Do you feel it?

Right here, watch the Lotus Eater drown

Sink, drown

He’ll never be found

Raise your glass to the Lotus Eater

As he drifts into the ether

Can you take me to meet her?

She who brings panic and fever, fever

Sink, drown

Can you hear me?

Do you feel it?

Right here, watch the Lotus Eater drown

Sink, drown

He’ll never be found

Raise your glass to the Lotus Eater

As he drifts into the ether

Can you take me to meet her?

She who brings panic and fever

Raise your glass to the Lotus Eater

As he drifts into the ether

Can you take me to meet her?

She who brings panic and fever, fever
