Lyrics to Take Me Back To Eden [Full Album 2023] by Sleep Token

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 Chokehold When we were made It was no accident We were tangled up like branches in a flood I come as a blade A sacred guardian So you keep me sharp and test my worth in blood You got me in a chokehold You got me in a chokehold You've got me in a... Beneath the stormy seas Above the mountain peaks It's all the same to me It makes no difference I've seen my days unfold Done the impossible I'll turn my walls to gold to bring you home again So show me that which I cannot see Even if it hurts me Even if I can't sleep Oh, and though we act out of our holy duty to be constantly awake But you've got me in a chokehold You've got me in a chokehold You've got me in a chokehold You've got me in a chokehold Even if it hurts me Even if I can't sleep Show me the way, yeah 02. 04:34 The Summoning I've got a river running right into you I've got a blood trail, red in the blue Something you say or something you do The taste of the divine You've got my body, flesh and bone, yeah The sky above, the Earth below Raise me up again Take me past the edge I want to see the other side See the other side You've got my body, flesh and bone The sky above, the Earth below Raise me up again Take me past the edge I want to see the other side Won't you show me what it's like? Won't you show me what it's like? Oh, and my love Did I mistake you for a sign from God Or are you really here to cut me off? Or maybe just to turn me on? 'Cause these days I would be lying if I told you that I didn't wish that I could be your man Or maybe make a good girl bad I've got a river running right into you I've got a blood trail, red in the blue Something you say or something you do The taste of the divine You've got my body, flesh and bone The sky above, the Earth below Nothing to say and nowhere to go The taste of the divine 03. 11:05 Granite Sulfur on your breath Granite in my chest You won't ever have to talk about it You'll never want to talk about it Fury too damn late Reason dislocates And you'll never have to talk about it You'll never want to talk about it I was more than just a body in your passenger seat And you were more than just somebody I was destined to meet I see you go half-blind when you're looking at me But I am Between the second-hand smoke and the glass on the street You gave me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave You say you want me but you know I'm not what you need But I am When you sit there Acting like you know me Acting like you only brought me in to get below me Never mind the death threats Parting at the door We'd rather be six-feet under than be lonely And if you had a problem Then you should have told me 'Fore you started getting all aggressive and controlling You only drink the water When you think it's holy So keep an eye on the road or we will both be here forever I was more than just a body in your passenger seat And you were more than just somebody I was destined to meet I see you go half-blind when you're looking at me But I am Between the second-hand smoke and the glass on the street You gave me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave You say you want me but you know I'm not what you need But I am I was more than just a body in your passenger seat And you were more than just somebody I was destined to meet I see you go half-blind when you're looking at me But I am Between the second-hand smoke and the glass on the street You gave me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave You say you want me but you know I'm not what you need But I am 04. 14:42 Aqua Regia Well, my love is an animal call Cutting through the darkness, bouncing off the walls Between teeth on a broken jaw Following a blood trail, frothing at the maw And these days, I'm a circuit board Integrated hardware you cannot afford The perfect start to a perfect war Putting down the roses, picking up the sword Aqua Regia Aqua Regia Well, my past is a holy book A call from Olympus, ringing off the hook Between the pain and the way you look I'm stuck in a time where the mountains shook And these days, I'm a picture frame Screaming at the sunshine, singing in the rain Sugar on the blood cells, carbon on the brain Out of Eden's vices running through my veins Aqua Regia Oxytocin running in the ether Silicon ballrooms Subatomic interactions, if it's all good Gold rush, acid flux Saturate me, I can't get enough Cold love, hot blood Running to your heart when you're thinking of Oh, when I am done dancing to alarm bells No wonder my ears are still ringing And I am done fighting off change No wonder my arms are still swinging Aqua Regia Oxytocin running in the ether Silicon ballrooms Subatomic interactions, if it's all good Gold rush, acid flux Saturate me, I can't get enough Cold love, hot blood Running to your heart when you're thinking of 05. 18:32 Vore You have become the voice in my head Only recourse we're left after death Your viscera welcome me in Welcome me in My life is torn, my bones, they bleed My metaphors fall short in the end Your flesh and bone welcome me in Welcome me in Are you in pain like I am? Are you in pain like I am? Will we remain stuck in the throat of gods? Will the pain stop if we go deeper? So let's get swallowed whole I wanna go where nobody else will Ever go Walls of flesh, so warm again We step into my suffering My only need, welcome me in Welcome me in There is always something in the way I wanna have you to myself for once Follow me between the jaws of fate So I can have you to myself for once So let's get swallowed whole I wanna go where nobody else will Ever go There is always something in the way I wanna have you to myself for once Are you in pain like I am? Are you in pain like I am? Are you in pain like I am? Are you in pain like I am? 06. 23:51 Ascensionism Well I know what you want from me You want someone to be Your reflection, your bitter deception Setting you free So you take what you want and leave Who made you like this? Who encrypted your dark gospel in body language? Synapses snap back in blissful language Tell me you met me in past lives, past life Past what might be eating me from the inside, darling Half of a rhythm, half deity Glitches in the cold or gaps in a strange dream Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy Turn me into your mannequin and I'll turn you into my puppet queen Won't you come and dance in the dark with me? Show me what you are, I am desperate to know Nobody better than the perfect enemy Digital demons make the night feel heavenly Make it real 'Cause anything's better than the way I feel right now I can offer you a blacklit paradise Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky Lipstick, chemtrails, red flags, pink nails With one eye on the door, other eye on a rail Other, other eye following a scarlet trail And the last few drops from the Holy Grail Now rose-gold chains, ripped lace, cut glass Blood stains on the collar means just don't ask Be the first to the feast Let's choke on the past And take to the broken skies at last Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky You're gonna watch me ascend And I know what you want from me You want the same as me My redemption, eternal ascension Setting me free So I'll take what I want then leave You make me wish I could disappear You make me wish I could disappear 07. 30:57 Are You Really Okay? I raised you in the dark Caught you reading by the sunrise You wandered from the path Through the silence of the hillside And don't you know I could see it in you even then? And don't you know I was trying to hold back the darkness? And are you really okay? Are you really okay? You woke me up one night Dripping crimson on the carpet I saw it in your eyes Cutting deeper than the scars could run And don't you know I could see it in you even now? And don't you know I want to help you but I don't know how And are you really okay? Yeah, yeah Are you really okay? And I, I cannot fix your wounds this time But I, I don't believe you when you tell me you are fine Please don't hurt yourself again Just please don't hurt yourself again Please don't hurt yourself again Please don't hurt yourself again 08. 35:53 The Apparition Why are you never real? Whenever you appear You leave me with that grace I am trembling with fear But I know that you will disappear Just as I awake Whisper in my ear Well I believe Somewhere in the past Something was between You and I my dear And it remains With me to this day No matter what I do This scar will never fade So let's make trouble in the dream world Hijack Heaven with another memory now I make the most of the turning tide It just split what's left of the burning silence Don't wait, 'cause this could be the last time You turn up in the reveries of my mind I wake up to a suicide frenzy Loaded dreams still leave me empty I believe Somewhere in the past Something was between You and I my dear And it remains With me to this day No matter what I do This wound will never heal Why are you never real? The shifting states you follow me through Unrevealed Just let me go or take me with you So let's make trouble in the dream world Hijack Heaven with another memory now I make the most of the turning tide It just split what's left of the burning silence Don't wait, 'cause this could be the last time You turn up in the reveries of my mind I wake up to a suicide frenzy Loaded dreams still leave me empty 09. 39:41 Dywtylm Do you roll with the waves? Or do you duck into deep blue safety? Is it always the same? Do you wish that you loved me? Do you pull at the chains? Or do you push into constant aching? Each and every day 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? Do you wish that you loved me? And are you trying to live Like everything is a lesson to learn? Can you ever forgive? (Yourself) Do you wish that you loved me? And my reflection just won't smile back at me like I know it should And I would turn into a stranger in an instant if I could And there is something 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) Do you wish that you loved me? Can we ever release? Is it better to just not feel? Can we hit delete? Do you wish that you loved me? And 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 Do you wish that you loved me? (Smile back) Do you wish that you loved me? (At me) Do you wish that you loved me? Oh-whoa Do you wish that you loved me? (Please) Do you wish that you loved me? (Smile back) Do you wish that you loved me? (At me) Do you wish that you loved me? Oh-whoa Do you wish that you loved me? 10. 43:40 Rain 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? It's that chemical cut that I can get down with Up like the moon and out like the hounds A dangerous disposition somehow refracted in light, reflected in sound I'm coiled up like the venomous serpent, tangled in your trance and I'm certain You have got your hooks in me 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 I know, I know, I am what I am The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb So darling, will you saturate? 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? Nobody can say for certain If maybe it's all just a game When I open my eyes to the future I can hear you say my name So rain down on me, oh oh-oh-oh Rain down on me, oh oh oh Rain down on me, oh oh-oh-oh Rain down on me Rain down on me, yeah Rain down on me, oh oh-oh-oh Rain down on me, oh oh oh Rain down on me, oh oh-oh-oh Rain down on me Rain down on me, yeah Rain down on me 11. 47:32 Take Me Back To Eden I dream in phosphorescence Bleed through spaces See you drifting past the fog But no one told you where to go We dive through crystal waters Perfect oceans 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 the gods grow tired Reset my patient 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 Take me back to Eden Take me back to Eden Take me back to Eden Well, yeah, I spit blood when I wake up Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and make-up Just two days since the mainframe went down and I'm still messed up Room feels like a meat freezer I dangle in like cold cuts Missed calls, answer phones from people I just don't trust Mirror talk, fake love But I'll take a pound of your flesh 'fore you take a piece of my paystub White roses, black doves Godmother, rise up I need you to see me for what I have become 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 the gods grow tired Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire I guess it goes to show, does it not? That we've no idea what we've got Until we lose it (Until we lose it, until we lose it) And no amount of love will keep it around If we don't choose it (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 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 the gods grow tired Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire (When we were made) (I know) (It was no accident) (You know my desire) (We were tangled up like branches in a flood) I have traveled far beyond the path of reason Take me back to Eden Take me back to Eden 12. 54:54 Euclid 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 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 sky lane) (Just running forwards, a life like wires As I see the past on an empty ceiling) The night belongs to you (I play along with the life signs 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
