Damocles

[Primeira Parte]Well, I've been waking up under blades, blueblossom daysIf only Damocles would hit me backNo alabaster carvings or faces on a farthingWould prevent my head from fading to blackAnd it feels like falling into the seaFrom outer space in seconds to meAnd I play discordant days on repeatUntil they look like harmony[Refrão]When the river runs dry and the curtain is calledHow will I know if I can't see the bottom?Come up for air and choke on it allNo one else knows that I've got a problemWhat if I can't get up and stand tall?What if the diamond days are all gone?[Próxima Parte]And who will I be when the empire falls?Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten[Segunda Parte]Well, I know I should be touringI know these chords are boringBut I can't always be killing the gameNo golden grand pianos or voices from the shadowsWill do anything but feel the sameAnd it feels like falling into the deepFrom somewhere way up over the peaksAnd I play discordant days on repeatUntil the tape runs out on me[Refrão 2][Próxima Parte]And who will I be when the empire falls?Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten[Ponte]And nobody told me I'd be begging for reliefWhen what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to meWell, nobody told me I'd get tired of myselfWhen it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell[Refrão Final][Próxima Parte]And who will I be when the empire falls?Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten[Final]
