TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN ──pt 3
i know, i know. everyone and their mother has probably done this already. but it would not be in my good conscience as a sleep token themed blog to not do this. so here's a rp meme post with lyrics from Sleep Token's Take Me Back To Eden. ( adjust phrasing, pronouns, and gender titles as you see fit! )
remember to specify for multimuses!
do you wish that you loved me?
is there something you give that you will never receive in return? do you know what it is?
are you trying to live like everything is a lesson to learn?
can you ever forgive? (yourself)
and my reflection just won't smile back at me likе i know it should
and i would turn into a stranger in an instant if i could
and there is somеthing eating me alive, i don’t know what it is
maybe not that you conceal your feelings, they just don't exist
do you ever believe that we can turn into different people?
it's getting harder to be myself
it’s been so long that i'm forgetting what it feels like
but i'd rather not remind myself and leave it all behind
and i've tried so hard to fix it all but nothing seems to help
but i cannot hope to give you what i cannot give myself
for so long, i have waited, so long that i almost became just a stoic statue, fit for nobody
and i don't wanna get in your way
but i finally think i can say that the vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me
and just like the rain you cast the dust into nothing and wash out the salt from my hands
so touch me again, i feel my shadow dissolving
will you cleanse me with pleasure?
up like the moon and out like the hounds
i'm coiled up like the venomous serpent
tangled in your trance and i'm certain you have got your hooks in me
and i know, i know the way that it goes, you get what you give, you reap what you sow
and i can see you in my fate
and i know, i know i am what i am, the mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb
so darling, will you saturate?
but no one told me not to breathe and now the weightlessness recedes
my, my, those eyes like fire
i'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
come now, bite through these wires
i'm a waking hell and thе gods grow tired
reset my patiеnt violence along both lines of a pathway higher
grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
i will travel far beyond the path of reason
well, yeah, i spit blood when i wake up
room feels like a meat freezer i dangle in like cold cuts
missed calls, answer phones from people i just don't trust
but i'll take a pound of your flesh before you take a piece of my paystub
i need you to see me for what i have become
i guess it goes to show, does it not? that we've no idea what we've got until we lose it
and no amount of love will keep it around if we don't choose it
and i don't know what's got its teeth in me but i'm about to bite back in anger
no amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence
just run it back, give me five whole minutes
i am thick tar on the inside burning
i've got a ghost in the hallway grinning and a heavy head that won't stop turning
if my fate is a bad collision, and if my mind is an open highway, give me the twilight two-way vision, give me one last ride on a sunset sky lane
call me when you get the chance, i can feel the walls around me closing in
yet in reverse you are all my symmetry, a parallel i would lay my life on
so if your wings won't find you heaven i will bring it down like an ancient bygone
do you remember me when the rain gathers?
and do you still believe that nothing else matters?
for me it's still the autumn leaves
these ancient canopies that we used to lay beneath
no, by now the night belongs to you
this bough has broken through, i must be someone new
the whites of your eyes turn black in the lowlight
in turning divine, we tangle endlessly, like lovers entwined
i know for the last time, you will not be mine
