Well I've been wakin' 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
fadin' 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 anythin' 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 thе
empire falls
Wake up alonе and
I'll be forgotten
And nobody told me I'd be
begging for relief
When what is silent to you
feels like it's screamin' 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 thе
empire falls
Wake up alonе and
I'll be forgotten
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
