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
[PreChorus]
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 the empire falls?
Wake up alone 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
Anything but feel the same
[PreChorus]
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
And 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
