Lotus

(album: The Only Way I Knew How - 2023)

Yeah, I try, I try, then I end up broken
It's all truth I spoken
Just cut in between

Yeah, then You try, you try
While my eyes are closing
So I'm stuck here smoking
It's staining my teeth

Yeah, I wish that things would get better in time
I'm always arguing; it's in your signs
I piss you off, you mad, you fuming
I see the smoke; it's as cloud in your eyes
Lately, I'm drinking JD on the rocks
'Cause it's helping me unlock some thoughts
I trip up, tangled, get caught in my head
Work myself up 'til you tell me to stop

Come enter my galaxy
Just passed reality
I know you craving a sense of normality
Can't be two places at once, no duality
Stretching too thin, make you calling the cavalry
Sword out my sheath, show you my honor
If you shot your arrows, I know I'm a goner
Cast me to the sea, I'll come back with the tide
Wherever you go, my heart always wonders, like

I try, I try, (I try) then I end up broken
It's all truth I spoken (It's all the truth)
Just cut in between (cut in between, yeah, I'm cut in between)

Then You try, you try
While my eyes are closing (My eyes are closing)
So I'm stuck here smoking
It's staining my teeth (Yeah)

My heart, my heart
It's stuck on my sleeve
Words that I said
Get caught in between
I do my best, but I'm
I'm better alone
I'm better alone
I try, I try
I swear it's the truth
I swear, I need you
I'm just, I'm lonely
I'm lonely
