LYRICS:
Chorus 1:

Death is a friend that we serve ’til the end and she’s near.
Sink, drown.
Can you hear me?
Do you feel it?
Right here, watch the Lotus Eater drown.
Sink, drown.
He’ll never be found.

Verse:

Empty within,
empty without my pentecostal kin.
You are the tick of the analogue clock,
the hum and rattle that’ll never stop
the spluttering cough of the refrigerator motor
I cannot exist without her, but she won’t let me go.

Chorus 2:

Raise your glass to the Lotus Eater
as he drifts into the ether
Can you take me to meet her?
she who brings panic and fever

Verse 2:

She ate when I ate, she drank when I drank
but she never slept when I slept
she’d terrorise me as I dreamt
cognitive dissonance reigns supreme in me –
as is her will.
