Black Lotus

We go through life thinking, leave your mark in hopes
We leave behind something more than just ourselves
I'll be gone in a moment (I'll be gone in a moment)
So take some time to figure out which way to go
I was fortunate enough to fall in love
To build a family, and watch it start to grow
Can we take the time
To make sure that we got it right?

You'd never know, but I'm feeling empty

I can't do this on my own
Surely we were meant to be more?
I don't feel alive

The worst is still a part of me
Yeah, the sickness eats away
I'm holding on for one more day
For years, I've lived in suffering
And a war inside remains
I'm fading out into lethargy

Is it all, is it all in my head?
Days have passed and I'm still in my bed

Talk to me while I'm fast asleep
Visit me while I slip away

I can't do this on my own
Surely, we were meant to be more?

The worst is still a part of me
Yeah, the sickness eats away
I'm holding on for one more day
For years, I've lived in suffering
And a war inside remains
I'm fading out into lethargy

So long to the suffering
There's beauty within the release
Can't recognize what's become of me
So forgive me for wishing to sleep

I can't do this on my own
Surely we were meant to be more?

You saw the best in life
Even at its end

Each passing day that I live
I'm slipping away
Can't recognize who I am
It was taken from me

The worst is still a part of me
Yeah, the sickness eats away
I'm holding on for one more day
For years I've lived in suffering
And a war inside remains
I'm fading out into lethargy

I'll remain yet another day
To rest my head
And tomorrow begins again
'Til the weight sets in
