story of a young man in conflict - lotus lyrics

each day, i am haunted by the son of perdition
i am the bearer of a family curse that has never faded
so i avert my eyes in search of something sacred
i am, i am losing my mind

the thought of your touch makes me petrified
because of all the flaws and all the sins on your hands
i feel too exposed and wear my clothes to bed
i’ve got madness crawling inside
i’ve got a name on my brow
and i am the talk of the town

i mistake faces for walls to drive my fists in
i see you trying to get a hold of it, but i won’t let you in
with papеr and pen to lie about it
becausе you are so desperate for me to think and write about it
i devise rituals to keep you at bay
but the craze has settled and it won’t go away
i still snap when i see you pointing at me
i still smile when i hear you squeal
so drop the white dress, name tag and your good intentions
there is no better person to be found in me

i have lost my way but it remains untold
because i always find myself to be under the rose
with the past and the could have beens
show me procrustes’ bed and i am bound to jump in
i have become the everyman
who has abandoned the life of the free man
and do nothing but boast incessantly of the peace and repose i enjoy in my chains*, shackled

i gave way to the meticulous destruction of my self
to serve as a thespian in this pointless usefulness
self*accomplished or not
we are all still just cogs in a machine

*words humbly borrowed from jean*jacques rousseau
