Higher Lyrics by Sleep Token

Sundowning (Deluxe)

2019

[Verse 1]
You say you won't begin again
Capitulate and let me in
'Cause I am a fire and you are dry as bone
You are taking your time
You are killing me slow
And I know we instigate
Go back and forth
Lacerate
'Cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe

[Chorus]
'Cause I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending
We just can't resist the violence
And you need a melody, I only need the silence
But each time we battle
The blood and the fury takes us a little higher

[Verse 2]
With all that you believe
You still refuse to shelter me
'Cause I am a danger
And you're a long way from home
You are one among many, but you're now on your own
And I hate the way you look
At me when I am not understood
'Cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe

[Bridge]
You won't begin again
You won't begin again
You won't begin again
You won't begin again

[Chorus]
'Cause I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending
We just can't resist the violence
And you need a melody, I only need the silence
But each time we battle
The blood and the fury takes us a little higher

[Build]
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe

[Breakdown]
The debt that I owe
