Lotus Eaters

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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
