Lyrics of Damocles by Sleep Token
Well, Iโve 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 Canโt See The Bottom?
Come Up For Air And Choke On It All
No One Else Knows That Iโve Got A Problem
What If I Canโt 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 Iโll Be Forgotten
Well, I Know I Should Be Touring, I Know These Chords Are Boring
But I Canโt Always Be Killing The Game
No Golden Grand Pianos Or Voices From The Shadows
Will Do Anythinโ 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 Canโt See The Bottom?
Come Up For Air And Choke On It All
No One Else Knows That Iโve Got A Problem
What If I Canโt 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 Iโll Be Forgotten
And Nobody Told Me Iโd Be Begging For Relief
When What Is Silent To You Feels Like Itโs Screaming To Me
Well, Nobody Told Me Iโd 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 Canโt See The Bottom?
Come Up For Air And Choke On It All
No One Else Knows That Iโve Got A Problem
What If I Canโt 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 Iโll Be Forgotten
