Damocles Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 anythin' but feel the same

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

And 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

[Chorus]

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
