Lyrics:
Moving waves, on the screen
Of a life support machine
Making waves, in her sleep
It's getting worse, it's getting worse
And I can fit, in between
When she laughs and when she bleeds
Cause I am harder to defeat, they say it's easier
Easier for me
I don't believe it
He's been there, with his fist, running white around my wrist
He deserves, more than this, it's getting worse, it's getting worse
And it's been days, maybe weeks, he's trading everything for me
An empty car in the street, a sinking ship, a sinking ship, a sinking
I don't believe it
I've been there, with my fist, turning white around your wrist
You deserve, more than this, it's getting worse, it's getting worse
It's been days, maybe weeks, you're trading everything for me
An empty car, in the street, a sinking ship, a sinking ship, a sinking
It's never worth it
ut we can't help it, we can't help it

The person who wrote this music, has ignited a lost joy and emotion I've searched for since I was a teenager. To be a Vessel for transporting emotion to another is rare and beautiful. Life is beautiful and sad and everything in-between.

This is a song that should have been in the Soundtrack of Life is Strange... also it would be cool if one day this song will be played live during certain specific live shows...

this song instantly reminded me of Life is Strange

[@bard1847]

Found out about this song while reading stuff about ST and instantly thought this fits in 101% as a Life is Strange soundtrack.

[@MurphreeMusic]

As much as I feel like we might all be here because of our love of a particular member of this Duo, I feel like we all need to give Gemma Matthews credit here as well. This group wouldn't have been what it was, and not led to what it would become for us without her help and influence. So thank you to both. I hope you both are getting the success in your endeavors that you want. And as always. Worship

The white ribbons all over The Love You Want music video combined with the almost entirely red scenery could also be a reference to the lines "with a fury like no other, I will tear you into ribbons of red" from the song Will. A two for one, if you will.

[@AlanSweat]

I had a dream the other day that I was at a ritual and He started in on the second verse of this in the middle of Euclid. What a wild dream. I don’t know if I could handle that if it happened. What he and Gemma did, and what he did after, is nothing short of miraculous. Worship.

Dear Big V! Your voice is angelic and demonic at the same time, it completely mesmerized me. You guided me through difficult times, I have a lot to thank you for. I am very happy that I found this band and that I got to know you from this side. With Gemma's voice, you complement each other very nicely, it's nice to listen to your duets. It would mean a lot if your albums were back on Spotify so that my soul and other people souls could continue to heal. Thank you for everything!

[@augustashcroft697]

The assumption that Gemma is who hurt vessel and made him write all those ST lyrics shits me so much, there’s no evidence they were dating and most of BC’s lyrics are about toxic and damaging relationship dynamics, including literally this song. Bands break up all the time, for a lot of reasons.

[@aj_5339]

Yea, there is decent evidence Leo and Gemma dated but the themes of these songs pushes back the source timeline sooner. Maybe this duo breaking up along with their relationship combined with a previous rough breakup combined is what caused the change. Doesn't have to be a single event

Vessel did not need all the makeup and mask. And what happened to the PC people with vessel painting himself black🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 All love. Just having fun but sleep token really need any of the props,acting and masks. The true metal community would have followed them the same. Will Ramos would till love them. And now they have become a band followed by teenie boppers because of that I know the metal community would’ve had just as much respect for sleep token. If they didn’t perform all of the stage antics that they do. Oh. OK I feel better now that I’ve vented . all of that being said I’m a huge fan still. But it’s gotten to the point like I don’t want anyone to know I listen to them. Like riding a moped with a fat chick on the back. It’s all fun and games till somebody sees you.🤣🙌🙌
