(Novae)

In a trance, in a daze

I feel like I’ve been up for days

Can’t advance through this maze

Without my steps getting out of phase

Walk the plains, decide my fate

Act a fool with no restraint

Gas and fumes, iridescent hues, all the pleasant views

Let me demonstrate

My friends are always wasted

And some are just complacent

Filling holes cause they’re so vacant

Faking empty blank faces

Can’t save them, they’re sedated

Yeah, I’m faded

But still seeing through the haze and

All these people that can’t just

Stand forever in amazement

The neon signs and golden buildings shine

Tourists baptized in expensive hookers

And some cheap wine

It’s fine, I’m fine. Yeah, We’re all fine

Until you realize that somethings missing

And you don’t know where to look or even what you’ll find

(Hook)

Living life like it’s a theater

Taking love like it’s for free

Euphoria, there’s nothing sweeter

I’m in bliss, a lotus eater

Living life like it’s a theater

Taking love like it’s for free

Euphoria, there’s nothing sweeter

I’m in bliss, a lotus eater

(Inspiring Thoughts)

I overthink every link in this chain

Of thoughts I got wrapped around my frame

Boxing me in I’m boxing myself

Bleeding internally, I feel every ounce

Of emotion

I wanna cause a commotion

But instead I stay posted

Keep to myself no one can help

But me and I try and I can’t focus

Usher in the year with new resolution

Craft my own world George Lucas

J.K. Rowling J.R. Tolkien

Write myself out of seclusion

No more missing what the future has

Looking back while the current past

I refused to continue this dark path

I deserve everything I will have

Ain’t no if's, and's, or but's

They say I expect too much

Everything I drop throwing uppercuts

Chin checked this shit ain’t a game to us

Plots foiled like you smoking H

Smacking anybody that’s in my way

Move bitch like I’m Ludacris

Pre-lunatic til I do me in

(Hook)

Living life like it’s a theater

Taking love like it’s for free

Euphoria, there’s nothing sweeter

I’m in bliss, a lotus eater

(Spacelyss)

Eating the blooms

Forbidden fruit

Sweetest lies to be consumed

Eve of Eden doomed to lose

Sirens swimming with the ships

Singing, smiling draw you in

Whispers you won't make it home

A lost king on an island throne

(Hook)

Living life like it’s a theater

Taking love like it’s for free

Euphoria, there’s nothing sweeter

I’m in bliss, a lotus eater

Living life like it’s a theater

Taking love like it’s for free

Euphoria, there’s nothing sweeter

I’m in bliss, a lotus eater
