Sleep Token — Look To Windward

Will you listen

Just as my form starts to fission?

Losing this war of attrition

Just as I drift away

Will you halt this eclipse in me?

With the shadows

Longer to me than a light-year

Moving so slow I could die here

Say you can hear me say

Will you halt this eclipse in me?

Now I know why

I woke up here on the shoreline

Coughing up blood in the twilight

Everything looks the same

Will you halt this eclipse in me?

I've got eyelids heavy enough to break diamonds

You pray for sound and I pray for silence

Damn right faithless, I can't deny you'll

Find me with half a mind to get violent

You know it isn't over 'til I say it's over

No more little angels sitting on my shoulder

So give me the edge of a blade and a time and a place

And I'll leave them cold and pushing up boulders

Am I walking with gods or merely stumbling forth

Until there's fire at the gates, until I fall to the floor?

You know I live by the feather and die by the sword

And I will sunder the earth only to burn the reward

Even in this garden of gardens I am the god of the gaps

I am the demon of Sodom

I am the blood of an angel, the fate of the fallen

Nobody knows where I came from, even I have forgotten

How could I already lose my way like this?

Drowning in burning bright abyss

Even at stratospheric depths

This vertigo of bliss

Oh and I-

I used to know myself

Oh and you-

You used to know me well

Oh and I-

I wish that I could leave myself alone

Oh and you-

You wish that you could make me whole

Will you halt this eclipse in me?

In me
