Thinking Somewhere

Song by Sleep Token ‧ 2023

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 skylane

Call me when you get the chance

I can feel the walls around me closing in

Just running forwards, a life like wires

As I see the past on an empty ceiling

I play along with the life signs anyway

But hope to God you don't know this feeling

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

Call me when you have the time

I just need to leave this part of me behind

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

No, for me

(Just run it back, give me five whole minutes

(I am thick tar on the inside burning)

It's still the autumn leaves

(I've got a ghost in the hallway grinning)

(And a heavy head that won't stop turning)

These ancient canopies

(If my fate is a bad collision)

(And if my mind is an open highway)

We used to lay beneath

(Give me the twilight two-way vision)

(Give me one last ride on a sunset skylane)

The night belongs to you

(I play along with the lies and anyway)

(But hope to God you don't know this feeling)

This bough has broken through

Yet in reverse you are all my symmetry

A parallel I would lay my life on

I must be someone new

So if your wings won't find you heaven

I will bring it down like an ancient bygone

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

So give me the night, the night, the night

Center of all centers, core of cores, almond self-enclosed, and growing sweet— all this universe, to the furthest stars all beyond them, is your flesh, your fruit.

Now you feel how nothing clings to you; your vast shell reaches into endless space, and there the rich, thick fluids rise and flow. Illuminated in your infinite peace,

a billion stars go spinning through the night, blazing high above your head. But in you is the presence that will be, when all the stars are dead.

Tall boy

Big boots

Big Tragedy

Some cruelty

A bird

And tiny tank tops

Mask like a sad horror clown

Never bleed

There's pain

And revenge

Dies in pain

Reborn crazy

Que sufoca

Que paralisa

Que rouba o tempo - ele passa, e em meio a angústia, não notamos

Ela que não tem cara

Que não tem uma explicação facil

Nosso amor é impuro

como impura é a luz e a água

e tudo quanto nasce

e vive além do tempo.

Minhas pernas são água,

as tuas são luz

e dão a volta ao universo

quando se enlaçam

até se tornarem deserto e escuro.

E eu sofro de te abraçar

depois de te abraçar para não sofrer.

E toco-te

para deixares de ter corpo

e o meu corpo nasce

quando se extingue no teu.

E respiro em ti

para me sufocar

e espreito em tua claridade

para me cegar,

meu Sol vertido em Lua,

minha noite alvorecida.

Tu me bebes

e eu me converto na tua sede.

Meus lábios mordem,

meus dentes beijam,

minha pele te veste

e ficas ainda mais despida.

Pudesse eu ser tu

E em tua saudade ser a minha própria espera.

Mas eu deito-me em teu leito

Quando apenas queria dormir em ti.

E sonho-te

Quando ansiava ser um sonho teu.

E levito, voo de semente,

para em mim mesmo te plantar

menos que flor: simples perfume,

lembrança de pétala sem chão onde tombar.

Teus olhos inundando os meus

e a minha vida, já sem leito,

vai galgando margens

até tudo ser mar.

Esse mar que só há depois do mar.
