Lazarus Reflex

Bending over backwards again
Kiss the cobra on its forehead
To draw out the last drops of the sacred venom
Swallow your pride
Speak your peace
As we begin our descent

Watching your life pass you by
Through the cracks between the blinds
You are the candle burning at both ends
And the moth torn in two

You could not be further from the truth
The only way out is through

Trembling fingers reach for the sugar
So we can bare this sacrament
Falling out of focus again
To claw your way out of the cavern

Bending over backwards again
Kiss the cobra on its forеhead
To draw out the last drops of the sacrеd venom
Swallow your pride
Speak your peace
As we begin our descent

You could not be further from the truth
The only way out is through

Tear the boards off the windows to your soul
Kick the doors of perception right off of their hinges

No one is listening
Nobody cares at all
The devil is in the details
