isle of the lotus eaters

about

a quick lil song i wrote about addiction. may or may not be an english project that my depressing tendencies hijacked.

lyrics

my ship got blown off course into an everlasting bliss
memories of home outgrown, forgotten, but they are hardly missed
i stopped my hero's journey to graze upon the flowers
left my responsibilities for days that felt like hours

this isn't escapism, i don't need your advice
ignorance is bliss and i reside in paradise

if you wanna see me again
you're gonna have to drag me away
why would i leave when the lotus flowers beckon me to stay?
i never asked for anybody else's intervention
i'm fine on my own, no slave to my own senses

what if i step off the island then immediately drown?
what if i get sucked under when real life pulls me down?
i'd rather run from everything than take the risk of pain
you can't call me selfish for the flowers in my veins

this isn't escapism, i don't need your advice
ignorance is bliss and i reside in paradise

if you wanna see me again
you're gonna have to drag me away
why would i leave when the lotus flowers beckon me to stay?
i never asked for anybody else's intervention
i'm fine on my own, no slave to my own senses

crying and wailing, kicking and flailing when you try to bring me home
don't take away my vices, i want to be alone
i don't really care if my mind and body start to break
i am nothing more than the substances i take

if you wanna see me again
you're gonna have to drag me away
why would i leave when the lotus flowers beckon me to stay?
i never asked for anybody else's intervention
i'm fine on my own, no slave to my own senses
