I hope you've never seen life without cost,
I'll eat the lotus flower 'til my mind is lost
I'll tread with the ancients, pushing towards the surface
Apex of evolution - was it really worth it?
And when I feel the death drawing so near, I'll be [Am]flying through the atmosρhere
Colored in the sweet nectar, we called for [Dm7]help, and [Bm]nature answered
A ɾendition [C7]of cognition, a heaven-sent to [C7]end our sorry condition, an unstoppable force of tɾuth
Until it takes my [A]fleeting youth
Society will collapse by the hand [Bm]of a greedy man
Paranoia festers - wasn't this everything that we sought?
We've been tainted by the gods (Gods of chaos)
Wearing deceit, their facades (Their facades)
A cesspool festering from the fountain
Miasma of death, decay that we're now in
Rot
Wander, question [C7]everything
Dip your feet in the pools of the unknown
Journey for [Dm7]only the lesson, surrender to [C7]a sobering home
When the nectar dwindles, I will never shiver
Grateful for [Dm7]the beauty I've found - more than enough of a ɾeason [C7]to [C7]forgive her
What is it we're blind to?
Always ɾeaching for [Dm7]what's not there, circumstantial happiness just to [C7]find my [A]tɾuth
Exclaim without a care that the colors will feed my [A]youth
