Damocles

Damocles - Sleep Token

Lyrics by：Vessel1

Composed by：Vessel1/Vessel2

Produced by：Carl Bown

Well I've been waking up under blades blue blossom days

If only Damocles would hit me back

No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing

Would prevent my head from fading to black

And it feels like falling into the sea

From outer space in seconds to me

And I play discordant days on repeat

Until they look like harmony

When the river runs dry and the curtain is called

How will I know if I can't see the bottom?

Come up for air and choke on it all

No one else knows that I've got a problem

What if I can't get up and stand tall?

What if the diamond days are all gone?

And who will I be when thе empire falls?

Wake up alonе and I'll be forgotten

Well I know I should be touring I know these chords are boring

But I can't always be killing the game

No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows

Will do anything but feel the same

And it feels like falling into the deep

From somewhere way up over the peaks

And I play discordant days on repeat

Until the tape runs out on me

When the river runs dry and the curtain is called

How will I know if I can't see the bottom?

Come up for air and choke on it all

No one else knows that I've got a problem

What if I can't get up and stand tall?

What if the diamond days are all gone?

And who will I be when the empire falls?

Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten

Nobody told me I'd be begging for relief

When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me

Well nobody told me I'd get tired of myself

When it all looks like heaven but it feels like hell

When the river runs dry and the curtain is called

How will I know if I can't see the bottom?

Come up for air and choke on it all

No one else knows that I've got a problem

What if I can't get up and stand tall?

What if the diamond days are all gone?

And who will I be when the empire falls?

Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
