Lotus is about staying awake inside the weight of everything that tries to pull you under. It captures the feeling of being trapped by your own reflections. The song moves between fear and hope, wanting to look away from the truth, wishing you could change it, but ultimately choosing to stay, to see, and to hold on. Lotus is a reminder that even when the walls are closing in, survival itself is an act of love.

Lyrics
I’m willing and able, the stones in our feet hold us down,
I cant fight the feeling, reflections are haunting my side

Drifting out of time, dont let go of your light

When the walls keep talking and no one's around,
Let the words I write, keep you alive tonight
Open your eyes so i can see you
As the seasons flicker and sun starts to fade
you can hold me close, until i can open your eyes
Open your eyes.

I was hoping I wont see it
I was hoping I wont see it
I was hoping I could change it

Drifting out of time, don't let go of your light
Cause all i want for you, just hold on to your life.
