CAGE THE ELEPHANT LYRICS - Lotus

"Lotus"



Woke before the mornig sun

I found it tucked beneath the hills

I sat and watched it rise

It hit the sky and burst to flames

The lotus flower's

Got me thinkin' 'bout the way that we live

I've got this feelin'

It's gonna stop



Driven by religion

Running backwards down a one way road

A course collision, split decision

Tryin' to save your soul

Manifest Destiny

Is just a fancy word for murder

I've got this feelin'

It's gonna stop



[Chorus:]

A billion faces runnin' round my head

All got opinions byt they don't mean

Keep droppin' bombs until the whole world's dead

They said it's all been done and it's all been said

They'll turn this message into a pop movement

A fashion statement, call it politics

You can mark my words they'll put a spin on it

They say it's all been done



Look outside the box my friend

Your heart's been dead since who knows when

It seems we've missed the mark

Lost all hope and given in

Pack up the suitcase

Take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin

The fear that drives you

Needs to be stopped



[Chorus]



Fell into a daze

And found my mind was gone and laid to waste

A battleground indeed

Where holy wars have taken place

I saw the sun set watched it travel down

And tear through the ground

The hate that drives us

Needs to be stopped
