I’ve been watching my way as I faithfully chase for the touch of a lotus unsought
In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king
Those unfortunate souls living obstinate roles end up stuck dying out by the road
I feel their troubled stares, but there’s no time to spare
Primal light’s never been found, my son
For truth dwells in the shadows
Found a stain on the back of my neck, is it real? Should I hide it? It has to come off
Will this wither my clean heart? I won’t let it stall my way
Nature tends to move in whirling ways
What you fear might just become your very self
Feast your eyes on sheer perfection
Through this eerie sight, oh child...
Mud the waters
Mud the waters
Feed your eyes with imperfection
Pray the lotus you may find
Mud the waters
Mud the waters
I’ve been watching my steps as I wander astray, am I lost? Am I burning my sight?
In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king
Primal light’s never been found, my son
What you fear might just become your very self
Feast your eyes on sheer perfection
Through this eerie sight, oh child...
Mud the waters
Mud the waters
Feed your eyes with imperfection
Pray the lotus you may find
Mud the waters
Mud the waters with the sins you try so hard to unsee
I’ve been watching my way as I faithfully chase… what’s now gone
You can keep chasing the stardust
God knows when you’ll find your way
You can keep chasing the stardust
Once you're lost you'll understand
