One of the best album openers I've heard.

[smokinbones]

The drummer/percussionist is the unspoken hero of the band. ll is one of the greatest drummers of our generation.

[vincentkidd]

For me..I woke in a hospital bed after I oded..this song makes me think of those rough times..almost 🎉🎉7 months sober today

[THEPURPLEHAZE]

If My interpretation of this song is correct and it is about waking up in a hospital bed after a failed attempt at suicide, it is one of the saddest and most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. The strength and courage for vessel to write and perform this is incredible. Without getting to much into my personal life he has either pulled inspiration from his own experience or someone very close to him. Please never stop doing what your doing guys. Your music means so much to so many and truly helps get us through dark times

[cardboardcandyland]

You know for the first three minutes of this song, II was just sitting at his drums like a dog with a treat on the end of his nose, fucking vibrating with excitement and energy, just waiting for Vessel to give the 'release' command.

[Collaredbychaos]

This band…. These people…saved my life and they’ll never know it thank you

[jamricsloe]

He understands how to sing each word as if they are each their own song. Rare.

Lyrics:
Call me when they bury bodies underwater
It's blue light over murder for me
Crumble like a temple, built from future daughters
To wasteland when the oceans recede
Merry in the morning, earn your bitter fodder
It's easier to try not to eat
So flood me like Atlantic, bandage up the trenches
Anything to get me to sleep

I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets
Just orbiting the vacuum I am
They talk me through the damage, consequence
And how it's a pain they know they don't understand
Sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside
I'm trying not to crush into sand
So flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing
Wash away the blood on my hands

Call me when they bury bodies underwater
It's blue light over murder for me
Crumble like a temple built from future daughters
To wasteland when the oceans recede

Don't wake me
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up
Don't you wake me up
Don't wake me
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up

[Intoverted_icecube]

Vessels voice just sounds so incredibly angelic here, mixed with the piano it's so beautiful to listen to <3

[MademoiselleOG]

This song is so spacious and devastating. It's truly like being suspended weightless in the ocean, floating in nothing, disconnected, then suddenly the crushing weight is crashing down on you again, squished like a tin can. Wishing you could stay in that place, that nothing, even if it's sad, just a little longer.

[DynastyInferno]

This was the first song I ever heard by Sleep Token. I was in bed in the dark. I felt like life stood still when he started singing. I will never forget hearing this for the first time and just crying a lot. Thanks, Sleep Token.

[LucaPasini]

This, together with recent albums by Spiritbox and Vola, may be defining a new genre. We could call it Blue Metal.

[Andrew_-nrzt]

This broke me and I can't even begin to describe how. Man I love how Sleep Token knows how to create something so powerful and emotional and I am honestly crying my eyes to this and it hurts

[henrytran]

I listen to tons of genre from the heaviest to the poppiest. Never once stuck with a genre and enjoyed everything and being open minded, but goddam this is it. This has to be the missing band we’ve all been searching for. Fucking worship 🙌🏼

[bekkiwilliams]

As a professional musician, I have no words. Apart from one. Stunning.

[Bloodyria]

I can't get over this song, it's fucking excellent! * Mandatory "drummer is an absolute unit" comment *
Top 3 AOTY for me ♥

[orangehilo]

Vessel, your music breaks me, and saves me at the same time.
Please don’t ever stop making your art. We do listen, and I feel all of it.
(I, feel all of it) I’ve been where you’re at, and you and I will forever be (there). It’s due to the world we live in. But Vessel, know that I love you.
I love all your songs, and I only found out about you during the darkest time of my life. (Thank you for being you)
- a fan

[lpucci]

A month in a half later, it is criminal how there are only 115k views. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard and easily one of the best album openers ever (in my opinion).

[mahbanookianian]

I can't find the right words to describe how their music makes me feel...unlimited respect.

[thetruextremeicon]

This is beautiful and then when the band comes in it becomes perfect.
