Lateral Edge - War Pigs (Live Recording) Rough Mix #1

The Waiting (Revised Version)

Verse 1:
Blind, as we cross the lines
We endure this summer high
Upon your sky
Soon, a flower takes bloom
A vessel of fragile room
With empty hands at my side
I’ll recreate and rise

Chorus 1: 
Give it your fight
In this black and white life
Symbolized, focused 
And grow into lotus
Sky turns to black
As you turn and you laugh
You change your ways to the signs of the lotus

Verse 2:
Something in me wants to break free, I’m feeling
Am I just here to see how this all plays out 
Fear in my dreams
I keep falling deeper down
Waiting for this end

Pre-Chorus: 
With empty hands at my side
I’ll recreate and rise

Chorus 2:
Give it your fight
In this black and white life
Symbolized, focused 
And grow into lotus
Changing and shaping
Vicarious ways
You change your ways to the signs of the lotus






Ending Lyrical Theme
And now I see what’s on my horizon
Stronger than before, I am rising
This will not be the last time
For I am changing my ways into something greater
In this faded weather


Lateral Edge - Lotus (Demo)

Do you remember the dreams we once had?
Staring through the skies, in a lonely place
We wished for the world to give back
Those things that were never erased
Time is draining, life is changing
The seasons are so strange 
But I will never give myself away

Slipping through my hands
All of the little things that drove me
The ones who love, distance away
Is it me who is wrong? 

Do you remember the dreams we once had?
Staring through the skies, in a lonely place

All of the little things that drove me
The ones who love, distance away
Was it me who was wrong? 

If I could find you now
Before the sun goes down
Turning it around to another day
Before the lights go out
I’m gonna tell myself
That we’ll make it out just another way

Slipping through my hands
All of the little things that drove me
The ones who love, distance away
Was it me who was wrong? 

If I could find you now
Before the sun goes down
Turning it around to another day
Before the lights go out
I’m gonna tell myself
That we’ll make it out just another WAAAAAYYYYYY!

Slipping through my hands 
Before the lights go out
I’m gonna tell myself
That we’ll make it out just another WAAAAAYYYYYY!
