Kobra and the Lotus
Album • 2017
Becoming a resistance, ignition coil tightening Elevating tension, reached the point of fragmenting As I turn to dust in the atmosphere Floating from gravity I set off like a trigger pulse Shattering into space Trigger pulse Elemental patterns, woven too deep to remove Convoluted fabric, this body’s hardly bulletproof As I turn to dust in the atmosphere Floating from gravity I set off like a trigger pulse Shattering into space (Rise!) Rise against the pulse (Rise!) Triggered no more Colour me encouraged! Colour me encouraged! Colour me encouraged! Colour me encouraged! As I turn to dust in the atmosphere Floating from gravity I set off like a trigger pulse Shattering into space As I turn to dust in the atmosphere Floating from gravity I set off like a trigger pulse Shattering into space...

Did you ever think for a second? I’m only human too You have no perception of all the struggles that I have been through Listening to the nothingness I’m hearing while I watch your lips move If you really knew me, you’d think twice about creating my truth I’m sick and tired of feeling my face on fire when you don’t know what you’re talking about You don’t know what it’s like to be me No, you don’t know what it’s like to be me You are on the outside always looking in but never asking questions Could it be that you won’t understand that we’re both born of innocence Empty conversations, we know nothing of each other’s solitude You don’t know the reasons that made me, and I don’t know you I’m sick and tired of feeling my faith expire in the lies we keep on telling ourselves You don’t know what it’s like to be me No, you don’t know what it’s like to be me You don’t know what it’s like to be me (you don’t know me, you really don’t know me) No, you don’t know what it’s like to be me (????) Can you hear the sound of me breaking down when the judgment calls, I’m held against your wall No, you don’t know, you don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like to be me...

Tormented endlessly, an internal purgatory I am tortured by the thorns of my will Violently grating the layers off any inhibitions My deepest secrets are exposed (...reveal yourself...) I’m vulnerable, bleeding uncontrollably Inconsolable, drowning in the pain Hey... can you hear me, can you hear me calling? I’m locked behind these walls and can’t get out Anybody, if you hear me, can you help me? I am trapped inside this mortal prison cell Scraping the mortar with my blood encrusted nails My demons lacerate the virtue in my head Slowly unhinging I am rocking with insanity I’m fading farther into darkness I am dancing with the dead They’re maleficent (maleficent) Trapping me in agony So treacherous (treacherous) Can anybody hear me? Anybody? Hey... can you hear me, can you hear me calling? I’m locked behind these walls and can’t get out Anybody, if you hear me, can you help me? I am trapped inside this mortal prison cell Hey... can you hear me, can you hear me calling? I’m locked behind these walls and can’t get out Anybody, if you hear me, can you help me? I am trapped inside this mortal prison cell... (Oh...) (Oh...) (Oh...) (Oh...) (Oh...) (Oh...)

Watching you sitting there alone again The pain is eating you alive, you’re suffering Wonder If I’ll ever see you whole again If I had just one wish, I’d take it all away Don’t let go (don’t let go) I’ll find you in the darkness I need you Light up for me Don’t let go (don’t let go) I’ll find you in the darkness Never leave you... Light up for me Open up, I’ll be your light, just let me in I’d give it all just to hear your laughter again You’re the one, the only one that made me feel I want it back, the light you had Hold on to me! Don’t let go (don’t let go) I’ll find you in the darkness I need you Light up for me Don’t let go (don’t let go) I’ll find you in the darkness Never leave you... Light up for me I know the weight of the pain you feel I’ll share your burden, I’ll help you heal Don’t let go (don’t let go) I’ll find you in the darkness I need you Light up for me Don’t let go (don’t let go) I’ll find you in the darkness Never leave you Light up for me... Light up for me Light up for me...

New found awareness I finally think I’ve walked down the right road Breathe in the fullness of running with the choice to let it go Let it go, let it go I am alive! Manifesting destiny Are you alive? Manifest your destiny I am a child swimming in an ocean of possibility (Become the love you seek) Learning the lessons of how hard it is to love unconditionally We can change how we see I am alive! Manifesting destiny Are you alive? Manifest your destiny Happiness, happiness, could you imagine that? True happiness, happiness, wouldn’t you want that? Open, open your hands if you want to be held See the sky will catch you If you fall thru every moment with a curious mind Be silent Manifest, manifest, your destiny Manifest, manifest, your destiny Manifest, manifest, your destiny Manifest, manifest, your destiny Are you alive? I am alive... Are you alive? I am alive... Are you alive? Are you alive? We are alive! We are alive!

I don’t get it, the way you’re wearing your pride around your knees You’re always finding (you’re always finding) another reason (another reason) to trigger and release And blame... Blame anybody but yourself for your mistakes Why won’t you awaken, awaken! Open up your eyes and see that Life! Is all you get! And there’s no coming back Why, would you live it like it’s a renegade, throwing it all away? You’re a reject (total misfit) Feel like a defect but you’re no different from anyone else There’s no place here (no place here) for all your anger (for your anger) Stop feeling sorry for yourself Don’t blame... Don’t blame this good, good life for throwing shit in your face Why won’t you awaken, awaken! Open up your eyes and see that Life! Is all you get! And there’s no coming back Why, would you live it like it’s a renegade throwing it all away, throwing it all away? Life! Is all you get! And there’s no coming back Why would you live it like it’s a renegade? Your life is all you get! There are no second chances So why, would you live it like it’s a renegade throwing it all away, throwing it all away? You’re throwing it all, throwing it all away

This track is instrumental.
Trapped in a prison of sickness and pain Watching the world go by Sitting in torment, I hear people calling but I can’t reply I’m locked out by my misery, scraping my knees on eternity Oh... this is hell on earth Oh... I found the devil and the devil’s inside me Oh how I love the taste of my own blood I am an addict to all my excuses Believe me I’ll find a new vein Don’t try to help me I won’t take it kindly I’m comfortable in my decay I shut out possibility I won’t admit it – that would make me weak Oh... this is hell on earth Oh... I found the devil, the devil’s in me Oh... this is hell on earth Oh... I’ve let in the devil for the devil will never blame me... ha! Sympathy, empathy, give it all to me! Am I sick? Is this a trick? A devil inside me Did you think it was going to be that easy? I’m addicted to my disease You can’t help me! Oh... this is hell on earth Oh... I found the devil, the devil’s in me Oh... this is hell on earth Oh... my own hell, my hell on earth... Hell... hell on earth ...

Gather around all my brothers and sisters For today is the day we change everything We’ve travelled so far in this journey of existence Don’t you think it’s time we had a little peace? This is for all the non-believers The ones who said we’d never make it out This is for all the adversaries in our heads That filled our minds with failure and self-doubt Hear our war cry! We will prevail And we’re never backing down With the flame of courage in our eyes Magnificence! We will prevail! So tell me, won’t you tell me all the ways you were denied I assure you everyone here’s been there too Don’t forget we are all lions born of strength and fortitude So get up, let’s fight the battle of our lives! This is for all the non-believers The ones who said we’d never make it out (I’ll make it out) This is for all the adversaries in our heads That filled our minds with failure and self-doubt Hear our war cry! We will prevail And we’re never backing down With the flame of courage in our eyes Magnificence! Magnificence! We will prevail And we’re never backing down With the strength and courage, we survive! Fight for your lives! We will prevail! Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh... Hear our war cry! We will prevail And we’re never backing down With the strength and courage, we survive! Fight for your lives! We will prevail! We will prevail! We will prevail! We will prevail!
Listen to the wind blow, oh... Watch the sun rise Running in the shadow Oh you must never break the chain Listen to the wind blow Down comes the night Running, running, running in the shadows I miss your love and damn your lies Break, break the silence Damn the dark and the lies Breaking, breaking the silence I’m the ???? you’re ???? the chain Chain... keep us together Chain... keep us together We’re running through the shadows (Chain... keep us together) We’re running through the shadows (Chain... keep us together) (Oh...) we’re running through the shadows (Oh...) running through the shadows (Oh...) we’re all in this together
