black lotus


We are the black lotus

We let the hatred float us

Because the world wrote us

The depression vote us

The suicidal tendencies rope us

The white hairs cope us

The care helps dope us

We are the black lotus

 

We love the hate

We love the debate

We love to add hell to your fate

Because hell is what we create

Don’t try and help its way too late

We hide and let our prey come as we wait

And you may do whatever to us it's great

 

We are silent and sly

We are nothing but a lie

We hear your stories and pry

we aren’t unhappy even when we die

We have nothing but bones to try and fly

We are a whisper know the end is nigh

 

We fell from grace

Sharp and heavy as a mace

Running and killing at a inhuman pace

Because life is a race

And we are the demons in a black lace

We are in every place

And no one knows our base

And no one knows our true face
