Lyrics of Damocles by Sleep Token

Well, Iโ€™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 Canโ€™t See The Bottom?
Come Up For Air And Choke On It All
No One Else Knows That Iโ€™ve Got A Problem
What If I Canโ€™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 Iโ€™ll Be Forgotten

         

Well, I Know I Should Be Touring, I Know These Chords Are Boring
But I Canโ€™t 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 Canโ€™t See The Bottom?
Come Up For Air And Choke On It All
No One Else Knows That Iโ€™ve Got A Problem
What If I Canโ€™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 Iโ€™ll Be Forgotten

         

And Nobody Told Me Iโ€™d Be Begging For Relief
When What Is Silent To You Feels Like Itโ€™s Screaming To Me
Well, Nobody Told Me Iโ€™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 Canโ€™t See The Bottom?
Come Up For Air And Choke On It All
No One Else Knows That Iโ€™ve Got A Problem
What If I Canโ€™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 Iโ€™ll Be Forgotten
