Nik List - Black Lotus

Black lotus is a broad
With the bogus of a bitch
And the beauty of a god
Lotus has it all
She'll make men jump
She'll make them crawl
I should have kept my distance
I could have played it cool
But in this instance
I was a fool
"It was only play
Life goes on"
That's what she'll say
But I say it's wrong

Ring the bell, Welcome to hell,
Let me hold the door
There's room for one more
If I could tell my former self
Teach him a lesson
I'd say preserve your health
Always carry a weapon
Seduction isn't a game
It's only a struggle
A mountain of pain
And a whole lot of trouble
The scares it leaves
Are invisible to the eye
But a heart still bleeds
If it's deep, you die

You're just a junkie
A junkie spinning that wheel
I know, I've been there,
I know how that can feel
Like you, I was that sucker,
I went on for the ride
Now my heart's in the gutter
I pawned all my pride

Snake in sand
She'll swivel and sting
Shake your hand
And steal your ring
Gambles and bets
By now you know
The more you play
The worse it gets
You seemed so sure,
My poor old fool
Thought you were
The exception to the rule
You drool,
You play naked in the dark
But now your bed's a pool
And you're swimming with a shark

I'm steady, I'm ready
Go ahead,
Kiss me deadly
The cathedral of pain sings my name
I shave my sins
And bury my shame
Aims for the heart
Plays you like a fiddle
Her blade is sharp
She'll strike in the middle
Call the cops!
Get them on the line!
But if there's no corpse
There is no crime

I should warn them,
At least give em a notice
They also call her
The Black Lotus
She feasts on flesh
She'll rip out your eyes
She likes her victims fresh
And she keeps their head as a prize

You're just a junkie
A junkie spinning that wheel
Believe me, I know, I've been there,
I know how that can feel
There's no eulogy
There's no memorial
There no tombstone for the heart
There's only a ditch
It's deep, damp, drab
And god only knows
It is fucking dark

I warned you: that ticket wasn't for two
Your guts are bleeding and your face is blue
That taste is sweet but you know it's a trap
She'll make you squeal
Then she'll make it snap
Drop the pride, drop the dice
Jokes aside, take my advice
The lotus shouldn't be touched
I can't tell you everything
But I can tell you that much

Seduction's a skill, it can also kill
I've seen morgues of hell,
Hoards caught under a spell
Her life is a hustle,
She's playing your heart
She's a con artist, and she's fucking smart
Her words are fake
Her promises are lies
I see evil lurking behind those eyes
Reads your thoughts,
She's spinning her web
Now you've connected the dots,
But you'll already dead

Demons walks in heels
I know her and I know her deals
Doc, gimme a pill,
My brain is ill
Pull me by the roots of my hair
I'm here, on the edge of despair
I spill my guts everywhere I go
Left and right, high and low
Am I the puppet? Or am I the prey
Damn the culprit that made me this way
My hopes, my heart,
I stick'em in a box
I'm on the ropes, falling apart
With demons under locks
For I'm a lost soul, I am the last sinner
My heart is cold, my skin is thinner
I'm a lost soul, I am the last sinner
My heart is cold, my skin is thinner
