Sleep Token - Caramel Lyrics

Caramel lyrics by Sleep Token

Kill me out like sovereigns, payback for the good times
Right foot in the roses, left foot on a landmine
I’m not gonna be there, tripping on the grapevine
They can sing the words while I cry into the baseline
Wear me out like Prada, devil in the detail
I swear it’s getting harder, even just to exhale
Backed up in the corners, bitter in the lips
I’m sick of tryna to hurry it every time they take mine

So stick to me, stick to me like caramel
Walk beside me till you feel nothin’ as well

They ask now, “Is it goin’ good in the garden?”
Say, “I’m lost, but I beg no pardon”
Up on the dice below, on the cards
Try not to talk about, oh, but it’s harder now
Can I get a marriage on stage?
I’ve been sideways on my own besides
Gettin’ worse every time they try to shout my real name
Just to get a rise from me
Acting like I’m never stressed out by the hearsay
Guess that’s what I get for trying to hide in the limelight
Guess that’s what I get for having 20/20 hindsight
Everybody wants eyes on them, I just wanna hear you sing that song

If you don’t think I mean it, then I understand
But I’m still glad you came, so let me see those eyes

So stick to me, stick to me like caramel
Walk beside me till you feel nothin’ as well
I’m fallin’ free of the final battle
The sweetest dreams are bitter
But there’s no one left to tell

Too young to get bitter over it all
Too old to retaliate like before
Too blessed to be called ungrateful, I know
So I’ll keep dancin’ along to the rhythm
This stage is a prison, a beautiful nightmare
A war of attrition, I’ll take what I’m given
The deepest incisions, I thought I got better
But maybe I didn’t
[Our last chance?]
It’s all we did, I’ll give you what you came for
[The sweetest dream?]
Is there a word to answer [my heart’s one more word?]
[The sweetest dream?]

This is the wizard realm of angels
So I’ll keep dancing along to the rhythm
This stage is a prison, a beautiful nightmare
A war of attrition, I’ll take what I’m given
The deepest incisions, I thought I got better
But maybe I didn’t
