Lotus Eaters

The plants grew along the road like an unquenchable wildfire I remember the times you used to think I was high But I was too busy watching the waves of emotion crash over people like the tides in the ocean Push and pull All you wanted was one more dance I must confess I had no chance To renew myself or redo myself, you think I'm a crazy mess Well, I agree And you wanted to know but I had no answer for you Trapped under the thermometer Temperature one hundred and two Give me life, give me love, give me lust I'm sorry I know I ask for too much That's because I know It will never be enough I remember when your hand drew circles on mine Your skin was cold We were battling time I never thought I'd become something that I'm not But everyone does, everyone does You think I'm crazy? I think you think I'm crazy Well I guess I am, I am certainly not a lady But please court me Tell me you adore me Tell me there's nothing wrong I'm a perfect human being but You never reciprocated my desires Even when we forced it We always knew we'd be the liars who lied Too often, too much, too heavy I'm sorry I never put you first I really hope you get me And you wanted to know but I had no answer for you Trapped under the thermometer Temperature one hundred and two Give me life, give me love, give me lust I'm sorry I know I ask for too much That's because I know It will never be enough It will never be enough So I guess the moral to the story There's no morals and no story In your iris lies the answer Don't focus on the black centre Hurricanes can wash away the sins That you perceive as, to be sins My sins are spots and curls and skin I'm sorry You know I'm sorry I never meant to alarm thee and I know you're not as strong as you think You're not a diamond warrior Your feet grow roots into the earth And I'm a tree as well but I'm growing much further away from you No one hears us No one hears the words we scream They're just whispers Nightmares that scare little children in the dark Under the bed is where it's hidden In the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark Keep me awake I'm scared to fall asleep You used to make flowers fall slowly from the ceiling It was magic Some kind of superhuman I can't hold it in Bursting with light but to keep me away from the heat of the fire I left And if you still want to know I still have no answer for you Trapped under the thermometer Temperature one hundred and two I'll give you life, I'll give you love, I'll give you lust I'm sorry I know I ask for too much That's because I know it will never be enough It will never be enough It will never be enough
