Past Self Lyrics


Sleep Token Past Self

[Chorus]
Well, are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now
Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now

[Verse 1]
Clawed out of my woodwork
Bolts out of my blue depths
In and out of my dreamscapes
People acting different
One look at my past self
Double take on my cash flow
Apologising for shit that frankly I stopped thinking of years ago
And you know I deliberate on cutting out the demons
I still need a dark side, they just need a reason
The passage of the hours into rushing through the seasons
Falling through my mind with the leaves on the trees, so
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep me alive, keep me believing
That now is the time to take it or leave it
Gave away all my blessings
Lift off, weightless
Torn apart by the true believers that turned out to be faithless

[Chorus]
Well, are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now
Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now, now, now

[Verse 2]
Are you the guardian angel hacking into my brain cells?
Stepping up from my future, uploading my true self
Did I get this far for nothing, or are you the reward?
Guarding hounds in this hell house, opening new doors

[Pre-Chorus]
If this is love, then I am out of hesitation
Head over heels or elevation
Walking an inch above the pavement
Taking it stride by stride together
If this is real, then I am all up in a frenzy (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
Not like before when I was empty
Say that the story we tell is never-ending
Taking it side by side together (Side by side together)
[Chorus]
Well, are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now
Well, are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now, now, now

[Outro]
I just don't want to be lost again
I just don't want to be lost again
I just don't want to be lost again
I just don't want to be lost again
