Atavism Lyrics by Better Left For Tomorrow

Lotus Eater

2018

As I gaze into this fractured mirror
I fail to recognize the eyes that stare back
As I walk along this downtrodden path
I fall to my hands and knees, start to crack
These hands have touched the mouth of perpetuity
These eyes have seen shades of shades of grey
When one ventures the road less traveled
It seems fit it will all unravel
It seems fit it will all unravel
This tapestry tattered and torn
A far cry from the moment you were born
This apostle breathes
But is that really a life worth living?
I beg to disagree
Hollow body
And shallow heart
But mind resolved
To find a start
She burns
In passing this torch again
I breathe in harder now
Maybe never again
It pushes the best of me
Just to be
All too sure
(Of) what I refuse to see
May light touch my heart to breathe
Honestly
In failure's grip
I find the brightest seed
Back to the start
Back to the start
Reluctantly
Back to the start
Back to the start
I refuse to see
This cataclysmic catastrophe
This trite altruistic travesty
Come clarity I feel it course through me
Never have I ever felt so whole
Filled with purpose I strive
Forward into the bleak
For I know there is nothing
Greater than myself
How does the old adage go again?
“All I do is win”
How does it go again?
“This will never amount to nothing
Well that’s better than standing up for
Something you don’t believe in”
So here we go
And I’m ready to know
The depth of it all
That you refuse to show
If we could choose
To have nothing to lose
Then faulty conscience
Would give nothing to prove
This trepidation
That I feel so strong
For all my words
Could it be none were wrong?
So I guess we’ll start
On familiar ground
With heavy heart
But my body sound
Back to the start
To the start
To the start
To the
If beauty is in the eyes of beholders
Why do I see nothing but grey?
Nothing but grey
Back to the start
Back to the start
Back to the start
Back to the start
Back to the start
