Lotus Eaters - Odette

作词：Georgia Sallybanks

作曲：Georgia Sallybanks

The plants grew along the road like an unquenchable wildfire

I remember the times you used to think I was high

But I was too busy watching the waves of emotion crash

Over people like the tides in the ocean

Push and pull

All you wanted was one more dance

I must confess I had no chance

To renew myself or redo myself you think I'm a crazy mess

Well I agree

And you wanted to know but I had not answer for you

Trapped under the thermometer

Temperature 102

Give me life give me love give me lust

I'm sorry I know I ask for too much

That's because I know

It will never be enough

I remember when your hand drew circles on mine

Your skin was cold

We were battling time

I never thought I'd become something that I'm not

But everyone does everyone does

You think I'm crazy

I think you think I'm crazy

Well I guess I am I am certainly not a lady

But please court me

Tell me you adore me

Tell me there's nothing wrong I'm a perfect human being but

You never reciprocated my desires

Even when we forced it

We always knew we'd be the liars who lied

Too often too much too heavy

I'm sorry I never put you first

I really hope you get me

And you wanted to know but I had no answer for you

Trapped under the thermometer

Temperature 102

Give me life give me love give me lust

I'm sorry I know I ask for too much

That's because I know

It will never be enough

It will never be enough

So I guess the moral to the story

There's no morals and no story

In your iris lies the answer

Don't focus on the black centre

Hurricanes can wash away the sins

That you perceive as to be sins

My sins are spots and curls and skin

I'm sorry

You know I'm sorry

I never meant to alarm thee

And I know you're not as strong as you think

You're not a diamond warrior

Your feet grow roots into the earth

And I'm a tree as well but I'm growing much further away from you

No one hears us

No one hears the words we scream

They're just whispers

Nightmares that scare little children in the dark

Under the bed is where it's hidden

In the dark dark dark dark dark dark

Keep me awake

I'm scared to fall asleep

You used to make flowers fall slowly from the ceiling

It was magic

Some kind of superhuman I can't hold it in

Bursting with light but to keep me away from the heat of the fire

I left

And if you still want to know

I still have no answer for you

Trapped under the thermometer

Temperature 102

I'll give you life I'll give you love I'll give you lust

I'm sorry I know I ask for too much

That's because I know it will never be enough

It will never be enough

It will never be enough
