Emergence Songtext
von Sleep Token

Well, you were laid in verse, living on a promised word
Well, I am the rose you relinquished again
You and I are down headfirst in another world, I heard
I have a feeling we′re close to the end

So come on, come on
Out from underneath who you were
Come on, come on now
You know that it's time to emerge

So go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah

Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah (huh, whoo)


Are you carbide on my nano, red glass on my lightbulb
Dark light on my culture, sapphire on my white gold?
Burst out of my chest and hide out in the vents
My blood beats so alive, might bite right through your lens (huh, whoo)

It′s midnight in my mind's eye, drowning out the daylight
Godspeed to my enemies who've been asking for that call sign
You know the behaviour, canines of the saviour
Glory to the legion, trauma for the neighbours

So go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah

Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me (huh, whoo)

I′ve got solar flares for your dead gods, space dust for your fuel rods
Dark days for your solstice, dancing through the depths of
Hellfire, on the winds that started from within
My blood beats so alive, might tear right through my skin (huh, whoo)


So tell me what you meant by "living past your half-life"
In lockstep with the universe, and you′re well-versed in the afterlife
You know that I'm sanctified by what′s below
No matter what you do, no matter where you go

You might be the one to take away the pain and let my mind go quiet
And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I'm at your side

Come on, come on
Out from underneath who you were
Come on, come on now
You know that it′s time to emerge

Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me (huh, whoo)

And you might be the one to take away the pain and let my mind go quiet
And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I'm at your side
