Past Self

Sleep Token




Well are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it’s not a game or a fantasy
And I don’t even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it’s not a game or a fantasy
And I don’t even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now, now, now

Clawed out of my woodwork
Bolts out of my blue depths
In and out of my dream scapes
People acting different
One look at my past self
Double take on my cash flow
Apologising for shit that frankly I stopped thinking of years ago

And you know I deliberate on cutting out the demons
I still need a dark side, they just need a reason
The passage of the hours into rushing through the seasons
Falling through my mind with the leaves on the trees so

Keep me alive, keep me believing
That now is the time to take it or leave it
Gave away all my blessings
Lift off, weightless
Torn apart by the true believers that turned out to be faithless

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it’s not a game or a fantasy
And I don’t even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it’s not a game or a fantasy
And I don’t even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now, now, now

Are you the guardian angel
Hacking into my brain cells
Stepping out from my future
Uploading my true self
Did I get this far for nothing or are you the reward?
Guiding hands in this hell house, opening new doors

And if this is love, then I am out of hesitation
Head over heels at elevation
Walking an inch above the pavement, taking it
Stride by stride together

If this is real, then I am all up in a frenzy
Not like before when I was empty
Say that the story we tell is never ending
Taking it side-by-side together (Side-by-side together)

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it’s not a game or a fantasy
And I don’t even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it’s not a game or a fantasy
And I don’t even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now, now, now

I just don’t wanna be lost again
I just don’t wanna be lost again
I just don’t wanna be lost again
I just don’t wanna be lost again
I just don’t wanna be lost again

Sleep Token – Infinite Baths
When you plucked me from the grotto Silent like a supermodel When I would wake in staccato No lightning in a bottle, just One eye...


Sleep Token – Gethsemane
I wanted you to know, I've learned to live without it And even though it's colder now, I no longer feel surrounded And you never...


Sleep Token – Provider
I wanna be a provider Garner you with silk like a spider Roll or die, you bet, I'm a rider Your outer shell, your secret...


Sleep Token – Even In Arcadia
Come now, swing wide those gates 'Cause I have paid my penance kindly well in time for judgement day Somehow I knew my fate Turns...


Sleep Token – Dangerous
I wish I could have known that Look in your eyes would echo in mine and go back Out of my mind, across the line...
